Context of Psalms 18:41

39For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 40Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. They cried, but there was none to save them: even to the LORD, but he answered them not. 42Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
