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.
46 The Lord lives! Praise my defender!Proclaim the greatness of the God who saves me.
47 He gives me victory over my enemies;he subdues the nations under me
48 and saves me from my foes.O Lord, you give me victory over my enemiesand protect me from violent people.
