41. You have made my enemies retreat before me; I annihilate those who hate me.
42. They look, but there is no one to save them —they look to the Lord, but He does not answer them.
43. I pulverize them like dust of the earth;I crush them and trample them like mud in the streets.
44. You have freed me from the feuds among my people; You have appointed me the head of nations;a people I had not known serve me.
45. Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;as soon as they hear, they obey me.
46. Foreigners lose heartand come trembling from their fortifications.
47. The Lord lives — may my rock be praised!God, the rock of my salvation, is exalted.
48. God — He gives me vengeanceand casts down peoples under me.
