35. You have given me the shield of Your salvation;Your right hand upholds me, and Your humility exalts me.
36. You widen a place beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way.
37. I pursue my enemies and overtake them;I do not turn back until they are wiped out.
38. I crush them, and they cannot get up;they fall beneath my feet.
39. You have clothed me with strength for battle; You subdue my adversaries beneath me.
40. You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me.
41. They cry for help, but there is no one to save them —they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.
42. I pulverize them like dust before the wind; I trample them like mud in the streets.
43. You have freed me from the feuds among the people;You have appointed me the head of nations; a people I had not known serve me.
44. Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;as soon as they hear, they obey me.
45. Foreigners lose heartand come trembling from their fortifications.
46. The Lord lives — may my rock be praised!The God of my salvation is exalted.
47. God — He gives me vengeance and subdues peoples under me.
48. He frees me from my enemies.You exalt me above my adversaries;You rescue me from violent men.
49. Therefore I will praise You, Yahweh, among the nations;I will sing about Your name.
