38. I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise; They fell under my feet.
39. For You have girded me with strength for battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40. You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, And I destroyed those who hated me.
41. They cried for help, but there was none to save, Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
42. Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind; I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.
43. You have delivered me from the contentions of the people; You have placed me as head of the nations; A people whom I have not known serve me.
44. As soon as they hear, they obey me; Foreigners submit to me.
