Psalms 18:38-44

³⁸When I strike them, they are not able to get up again; they lie on the ground, defeated.

³⁹You have enabled me to be strong in order that I can fight battles and defeat my enemies.

⁴⁰You caused my enemies to run away (OR, you enabled me to put my foot on my enemies' necks after I captured them and forced them to lie on the ground); I have gotten rid of all those who hated me.

⁴¹They called out for someone to help them, but no one saved them.

⁴²I pulverize them, with the result that they become like MET the dust that the wind blows away; I throw them out like SIM people throw dirt out into the streets.

⁴³You enabled me to defeat those who fought against me, and appointed me to be the ruler of many nations; people whom I did not know about previously are now slaves in my kingdom.

⁴⁴When foreigners hear about me, they ◄cringe/bow low before me► and they obey me.
