40
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
41
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.
42
They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
43
Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.
44
Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
