40 You armed me with strength for battle;you humbled my adversaries before me.
41 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,and I destroyed my foes.
42 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them –to the Lord, but he did not answer.
43 I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.
44 ‘You have delivered me from the attacks of the peoples;you have preserved me as the head of nations.People I did not know now serve me,
45 foreigners cower before me;as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
46 They all lose heart;they come trembling from their strongholds.
