40 You have clothed me with strength for battle;You subdue my adversaries beneath me.
41 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me.
42 They look, but there is no one to save them —they look to the Lord, but He does not answer them.
43 I pulverize them like dust of the earth;I crush them and trample them like mud in the streets.
44 You have freed me from the feuds among my people; You have appointed me the head of nations;a people I had not known serve me.
45 Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;as soon as they hear, they obey me.
46 Foreigners lose heartand come trembling from their fortifications.
