38. I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
39. And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
40. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41. Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.
42. They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
43. Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.
44. Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
45. The strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
46. The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
