38. I stuck my swordthrough my enemies,and they were crushedunder my feet.

39. You helped me win victories,and you forced my attackersto fall victim to me.

40. You made my enemies run,and I killed them.

41. They cried out for help,but no one saved them;they called out to you,but there was no answer.

42. I ground them to dustblown by the wind,and I poured them outlike mud in the streets.

43. You rescued mefrom stubborn people,and you made me the leaderof foreign nations,who are now my slaves.

44. They obey and come crawling.

45. They have lost all courage,and from their fortresses,they come trembling.

46. You are the living Lord!I will praise you.You are a mighty rock.I will honour youfor keeping me safe.

47. You took revenge for me,and you put nationsin my power.

48. You protected mefrom violent enemiesand made me much greaterthan all of them.

49. I will praise you, Lord,and I will honour youamong the nations.

50. You give glorious victoriesto your chosen king.Your faithful love for Davidand for his descendantswill never end.
