39 I consumed them and shattered them so that they did not rise;they fell under my feet.
40 You girded me with strength for the battle;You subjugated under me those who rose up against me.
41 You caused my enemies to retreat from me;I destroyed those who hated me.
42 They looked, but there was no one to save them,to the Lord, but He did not respond.
43 I crushed them like the dust of the land,like the mud of the streets, I ground them and stamped them down.
44 You have also delivered me from the strivings of my people;You have kept me as the head of the nations.A people whom I have not known will serve me.
45 Foreigners submit to me, cringing;as soon as they hear, they obey me.
