36. Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
37. I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
38. I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
39. And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
40. And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
41. They cried, and there was none to save; --unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
42. And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
44. At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
45. Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
46. Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
47. The ·God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
48. Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
49. Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
50. It is he who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
