39 I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise; they fell under my feet.

40 For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.

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.
