39. For You have girded me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me and caused to bow down those who rose up against me.
40. You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
41. They cried [for help], but there was none to deliver–even unto the Lord, but He answered them not.
42. Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I emptied them out as the dirt and mire of the streets.
43. You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You made me the head of the nations; a people I had not known served me.
44. As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me; foreigners submitted themselves cringingly and yielded feigned obedience to me.
45. Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their caves or strongholds.
