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.
44. Foreigners bow before me;when they hear me, they obey.
45. They lose their courageand come trembling from their fortresses.
46. The Lord lives! Praise my defender!Proclaim the greatness of the God who saves me.
