37. I pursue my enemies and catch them;I do not stop until I destroy them.
38. I strike them down, and they cannot rise;they lie defeated before me.
39. You give me strength for the battleand victory over my enemies.
40. You make my enemies run from me;I destroy those who hate me.
41. They cry for help, but no one saves them;they call to the Lord, but he does not answer.
42. I crush them, so that they become like dustwhich the wind blows away.I trample on them like mud in the streets.
43. You saved me from a rebellious peopleand made me ruler over the nations;people I did not know have now become my subjects.
