39 I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise;they fell under my feet.
40 For you equipped me with strength for the battle;you made those who rise against me sink under me.
41 You made my enemies turn their backs to me,those who hated me, and I destroyed them.
42 They looked, but there was none to save;they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
43 I beat them fine as the dust of the earth;I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.
44 “You delivered me from strife with my people;you kept me as the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
45 Foreigners came cringing to me;as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
