41. They called for help,but no one came to save them.They called to the Lord,but he did not answer them.
42. I beat my enemies into pieces, like dust in the wind.I poured them out like mud in the streets.
43. You saved me when the people attacked me.You made me the leader of nations.People I never knew serve me.
44. As soon as they hear me, they obey me.Foreigners obey me.
45. They all become afraidand tremble in their hiding places.
46. The Lord lives!May my Rock be praised.Praise the God who saves me!
47. God gives me victory over my enemiesand brings people under my rule.
48. He saves me from my enemies.You set me over those who hate me.You saved me from violent people.
49. So I will praise you, Lord, among the nations.I will sing praises to your name.
50. The Lord gives great victories to his king.He is loyal to his appointed king,to David and his descendants forever.
