42 They looked, and there was none to save--Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
43 And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them.
44 And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me:
45 Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me.
46 Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places.
47 Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God the rock of my salvation,
48 The ·God who hath avenged me, And hath brought the peoples under me.
