40. For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41. You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42. They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43. Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44. You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the nations: a people whom I knew not shall serve me.
