36
You gave me a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.
37
I pursued my enemies and overtook them; and did not turn back until they were consumed.
38
I struck them down, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet.
39
For you girded me with strength for the battle; you made my assailants sink under me.
40
You made my enemies turn their backs to me, and those who hated me I destroyed.
41
They cried for help, but there was no one to save them; they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42
I beat them fine, like dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets.
43
You delivered me from strife with the peoples; a you made me head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
44
As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me.
