41You make my enemies retreat; I destroy those who hate me. 42They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them. I grind them as fine as the dust of the ground; I crush them and stomp on them like clay in the streets. 44You rescue me from a hostile army; you preserve me as a leader of nations; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects. 45Foreigners are powerless before me; when they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.
