37. I pursued my enemies and overtook them,and did not turn back till they were consumed.
38. I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;they fell under my feet.
39. For you equipped me with strength for the battle;you made those who rise against me 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 none to save;they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42. I beat them fine as dust before the wind;I cast them out like the mire of the streets.
43. You delivered me from strife with the people;you made me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
