42. They called for help,but no one came to save them.They called to the Lord,but he did not answer them.
43. I beat my enemies into pieces.They were like dust on the ground.I pounded them out and walked on themlike mud in the streets.
44. “You saved me when my people attacked me.You kept me as the leader of nations.People I never knew serve me.
45. Foreigners obey me.As soon as they hear me, they obey me.
46. They all become afraid.They tremble in their hiding places.
47. “The Lord lives!May my Rock be praised!Praise God, the Rock, who saves me!
48. God gives me victory over my enemies.He brings people under my rule.
49. He frees me from my enemies.“You set me over those who hate me.You saved me from cruel men.
50. So I will praise you, Lord, among the nations.I will sing praises to your name.
51. The Lord gives great victories to his king.He is loyal to his appointed king,to David and his descendants forever.”
