37. I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38. I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39. For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40. You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41. They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42. Then did I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43. You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the foreigners shall submit themselves unto me.
45. The foreigners shall fade away, and be frightened out of their fortresses.
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 people under me.
48. He delivers me from my enemies: yea, you lift me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
49. Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the nations, and sing praises unto your name.
50. Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his descendants forevermore.
