38. I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.
39. You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.
40. You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.
41. They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the Lord, but he did not answer.
42. I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
43. You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,
44. foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
