38. I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them and did not return until I had consumed them.
39. And I consumed them and wounded them, and they did not arise; they are fallen under my feet.
40. For thou hast girded me with strength for the battle; thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41. Thou hast given me the necks of my enemies, of those that hate me, that I might cut them off.
42. They looked, but there was no one to save them; even unto the Lord, but he did not answer them.
43. Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth; I stamped them as the mire of the street and spread them abroad.
44. Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of peoples; thou hast kept me to be head of the Gentiles; peoples whom I did not know have served me.
45. The strangers trembled before my command; as soon as they heard, they obeyed me.
46. The strangers withered away and trembled in their close places.
