40. Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.
41. They cried, but there was none to save: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42. Then did I beat them small as the 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 whom I have not known shall serve me.
