39 Thou girdedst me with strength for war;my foes thou brought'st down all:
40 And thou hast giv'n to me the necksof all mine enemies;That I might them destroy and slay,who did against me rise.
41 They cried out, but there was nonethat would or could them save;Yea, they did cry unto the Lord,but he no answer gave.
42 Then did I beat them small as dustbefore the wind that flies;And I did cast them out like dirtupon the street that lies.
43 Thou mad'st me free from people's strife,and heathen's head to be:A people whom I have not knownshall service do to me.
44 At hearing they shall me obey,to me they shall submit.
45 Strangers for fear shall fade away,who in close places sit.
