38. I struck them and they were not able to stand up; they fell under my feet.
39. And you girded me with strength for the battle; those rising against me you made to kneel under me.
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—
