40Thou didst cause my enemies to turn their backs, So that I destroyed them that hated me.
41They cried, but there was none to help; To Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42I beat them small, like dust before the wind; I cast them out as the dirt of the streets.
43Thou hast delivered me from the assaults of the nations; Thou hast made me the head of the kingdoms. Nations whom I knew not serve me;
44They who have only heard of me obey me; Yea, men of a strange land submit themselves to me;
45Men of a strange land fade away, like a leaf, And come trembling from their strongholds.
46Jehovah is the living God; blessed be my rock; Exalted be the God of my salvation!
47It is God who hath given me vengeance, And subdued the nations under me;
