38. I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
39. And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
40. And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
41. They cried, and there was none to save; --unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
42. And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
