39 You give me strength for the battleand victory over my enemies.
40 You make my enemies run from me;I destroy those who hate me.
41 They cry for help, but no one saves them;they call to the Lord, but he does not answer.
42 I crush them, so that they become like dustwhich the wind blows away.I trample on them like mud in the streets.
43 You saved me from a rebellious peopleand made me ruler over the nations;people I did not know have now become my subjects.
44 Foreigners bow before me;when they hear me, they obey.
45 They lose their courageand come trembling from their fortresses.
