40. You placed my foot on their necks.I have destroyed all who hated me.
41. They called for help, but no one came to their rescue.They even cried to the lord, but he refused to answer.
42. I ground them as fine as dust in the wind.I swept them into the gutter like dirt.
43. You gave me victory over my accusers.You appointed me ruler over nations;people I don’t even know now serve me.
44. As soon as they hear of me, they submit;foreign nations cringe before me.
45. They all lose their courageand come trembling from their strongholds.
