40. As to mine enemies--Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me--I cut them off.
41. They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.
42. And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.
43. Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me.
44. At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
45. Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
46. Jehovah liveth--and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
47. God--who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,
48. My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.
49. Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,
50. Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed--unto the age!
