38. I pursued my enemies and overtook them;I did not turn back till I destroyed them.
39. I struck them down, and they did not rise;they fell dead at my feet.
40. You girded me with strength for war;subdued adversaries at my feet.
41. My foes you put to flight before me;those who hated me I destroyed.
42. They cried for help, but no one saved them,cried to the Lord but got no answer.
