40. Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies that I might destroy those that hate me.
41. They cried out, but there was no one to save them: even unto the Lord, but he did not answer them.
42. Then I beat them as small as the dust before the wind: I scattered them as the dirt in the streets.
43. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the Gentiles: a people whom I did not know served me.
44. As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me: the sons of strangers submitted themselves unto me even against their will.
45. The strangers fell away and were afraid in their close places.
46. The Lord lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47. It is God that avenges me and subdues the peoples under me.
48. He delivers me from my enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the one who would betray me.
49. Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles and sing praises unto thy name.
