36. You have given me the shield of your salvation,and your gentleness made me great.
37. You gave a wide place for my steps under me,and my feet did not slip;
38. I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,and did not turn back until they were consumed.
39. I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise;they fell under my feet.
40. For you equipped me with strength for the battle;you made those who rise against me sink under me.
41. You made my enemies turn their backs to me,those who hated me, and I destroyed them.
42. They looked, but there was none to save;they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
43. I beat them fine as the dust of the earth;I crushed them and stamped them down like the mire of the streets.
