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.
46 Foreigners lose their nerve;they come trembling out of their fortresses.
47 The Lord lives! Bless God, my rock!Let my God, the rock of my salvation, be lifted high!
48 This is the God who avenges on my behalf,who subdues peoples before me,
