For you have girded me with strength to the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, That I might cut off those who hate me.
42
They looked, but there was none to save; Even to the LORD, but he didn't answer them.
43
Then did I beat them small as the dust of the eretz, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.
44
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people; You have kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
