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.
