39. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40. Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.
41. They cried, but there was none to save: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.
42. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44. As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45. The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
46. The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation:
47. Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
48. He rescueth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest me from the violent man.
49. Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy name.
50. Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
