39 I ate them up! I struck them down!They couldn’t get up;they fell under my feet.
40 You equipped me with strength for war;you brought my adversaries down underneath me.
41 You made my enemies turn tail from me;I destroyed my foes.
42 They looked around, but there was no one to save them.They looked to the Lord, but he wouldn’t answer them.
43 I crushed them like dust on the ground;I stomped on them, trampled them like mud dumped in the streets.
44 You delivered me from struggles with many people;you appointed me the leader of many nations.Strangers come to serve me.
45 Foreigners grovel before me;after hearing about me, they obey me.
