38. I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
39. I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
40. And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
41. And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
42. They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
43. And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
44. Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
45. A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
46. The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
47. The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted:
48. O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.
49. And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
