38 I crush them, and they cannot get up;they fall beneath my feet.
39 You have clothed me with strength for battle; You subdue my adversaries beneath me.
40 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me.
41 They cry for help, but there is no one to save them —they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.
42 I pulverize them like dust before the wind; I trample them like mud in the streets.
43 You have freed me from the feuds among the people;You have appointed me the head of nations; a people I had not known serve me.
44 Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;as soon as they hear, they obey me.
