40. You have also given me the necks of my enemies,So that I destroyed those who hated me.
41. They cried out, but there was none to save;Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
42. Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;I cast them out like dirt in the streets.
43. You have delivered me from the strivings of the people;You have made me the head of the nations;A people I have not known shall serve me.
44. As soon as they hear of me they obey me;The foreigners submit to me.
45. The foreigners fade away,And come frightened from their hideouts.
46. The Lord lives!Blessed be my Rock!Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47. It is God who avenges me,And subdues the peoples under me;
48. He delivers me from my enemies.You also lift me up above those who rise against me;You have delivered me from the violent man.
49. Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles,And sing praises to Your name.
