41. You caused my enemies to retreat from me;I destroyed those who hated me.
42. They looked, but there was no one to save them,to the Lord, but He did not respond.
43. I crushed them like the dust of the land,like the mud of the streets, I ground them and stamped them down.
44. You have also delivered me from the strivings of my people;You have kept me as the head of the nations.A people whom I have not known will serve me.
45. Foreigners submit to me, cringing;as soon as they hear, they obey me.
46. Foreigners lose heart;they gird themselves as they leave their fortresses.
47. The Lord lives; blessed be my rock.May the God of the rock of my salvation be exalted,
48. the God who gave me retributionand brought down peoples under me,
49. who brought me out from my enemies.You exalted me above those who rose up against me;You delivered me from violent ones.
50. Therefore, I praise You, O Lord, among the nations;I sing praises to Your name.
51. He is a tower of salvation for His king,and He acts faithfully toward His anointed,toward David and his descendants forever.
