40. Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies that I might destroy those that hate me.
41. They cried out, but there was no one to save them: even unto the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42. Then I beat them as small as the dust before the wind: I scattered them as the dirt in the streets.
43. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the Gentiles: a people whom I did not know served me.
44. As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me: the sons of strangers submitted themselves unto me even against their will.
45. The strangers fell away and were afraid in their close places.
46. The Lord lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47. It is God that avenges me and subdues the peoples under me.
48. He delivers me from my enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the one who would betray me.
49. Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles and sing praises unto thy name.
50. He gives great deliverance to his king and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
