40 For You have armed me with strength for the battle;You have subdued under me those who rose against me.
41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,So that I destroyed those who hated me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save;Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
43 Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;I trod them like dirt in the streets,And I spread them out.
44 “You have also delivered me from the strivings of my people;You have kept me as the head of the nations.A people I have not known shall serve me.
45 The foreigners submit to me;As soon as they hear, they obey me.
46 The foreigners fade away,And come frightened from their hideouts.
