41 They cried out for help. But there was no one to save them. They called out to you. But you didn't answer them.
42 I beat them as fine as dust blown by the wind. I poured them out like mud in the streets.
43 You saved me when my own people attacked me. You made me the ruler over nations. People I didn't know serve me now.
44 As soon as they hear me, they obey me. People from other lands bow down to me in fear.
45 All of them give up hope. They come trembling out of their hiding places.
46 The Lord lives! Give praise to my Rock! Give honor to God my Savior!
47 He is the God who pays my enemies back. He brings the nations under my control.
