Context of Psalms 18:41

39And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me. 40And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed. They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not. 42And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets. 43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
