36. You enlarged my step under me, and my ankles did not slip.
37. I chased my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were finished off.
38. I struck them and they were not able to stand up; they fell under my feet.

40. And you made my enemies turn their backs, then I destroyed those who hated me.
41. They cried out but there was no rescuer, even to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.
42. And I ground them like dust in the wind, I emptied them out like mud of the streets.
43. You rescued me from strife with people; you set me as head (over) nations. People I did not know served me;
44. as soon as they heard, they obeyed me. The children of a foreign land feigned obedience before me.
45. The children of a foreign land lost heart, and they came trembling from their strongholds.
46. Yahweh lives, and blessed be my rock, and may the God of my salvation be exalted—
47. the God who executed vengeance for me, and subdued peoples under me,
48. who delivered me from my enemies. Indeed, you exalted me higher than those who rose against me. You delivered me from the man of violence.
49. Therefore I will give thanks to you among the nations, O Yahweh, and I will sing the praise of your name:
