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.
44. “You delivered me from strife with my people;you kept me as the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
45. Foreigners came cringing to me;as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
46. Foreigners lost heartand came trembling out of their fortresses.
