39 I strike them down, and they cannot rise;they lie defeated before me.
40 You give me strength for the battleand victory over my enemies.
41 You make my enemies run from me;I destroy those who hate me.
42 They look for help, but no one saves them;they call to the Lord, but he does not answer.
43 I crush them, and they become like dust;I trample on them like mud in the streets.
44 You saved me from my rebellious peopleand maintained my rule over the nations;people I did not know have now become my subjects.
45 Foreigners bow before me;when they hear me, they obey.
