40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,

and I destroyed my foes.

41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—

to the Lord, but he did not answer.

42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;

I trampled them like mud in the streets.

40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies;

That I might destroy them that hate me.

41 They cried, but there was none to save them:

Even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind:

I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

40 You placed my foot on their necks.

I have destroyed all who hated me.

41 They called for help, but no one came to their rescue.

They even cried to the Lord, but he refused to answer.

42 I ground them as fine as dust in the wind.

I swept them into the gutter like dirt.

40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,

So that I destroyed those who hated me.

41 They cried out, but there was none to save;

Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;

I cast them out like dirt in the streets.

40 You made my enemies turn back,

and I destroyed those who hated me.

41 They called for help,

but no one came to save them.

They called to the Lord,

but he did not answer them.

42 I beat my enemies into pieces, like dust in the wind.

I poured them out like mud in the streets.

40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,

That I might cut off them that hate me.

41 They cried, but there was none to save;

Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;

I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

40 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed. 41 They cried, and there was none to save; —unto Jehovah, and he answered them not. 42 And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

40 You made my enemies turn their backs to me, 

and I destroyed those who hated me. 

41 They cried out for help, but there was no one to save them. 

They cried out to the Lord, but he did not answer them. 

42 I beat them into a powder as fine as the dust blown by the wind. 

I threw them out as though they were dirt on the streets. 

40 You have made my enemies retreat before me;

I annihilate those who hate me.

41 They cry for help, but there is no one to save them —

they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.

42 I pulverize them like dust before the wind;

I trample them like mud in the streets.

40 You made my enemies turn their backs to me,

and those who hated me I destroyed.

41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them;

they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them.

42 I beat them fine, like dust before the wind;

I cast them out like the mire of the streets.

40 And you made my enemies turn their backs,

then I destroyed those who hated me.

41 They cried out but there was no rescuer,

even to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

42 And I ground them like dust in the wind,

I emptied them out like mud of the streets.

40 You made them turn their backs and run away.

So I destroyed my enemies.

41 They cried out for help. But there was no one to save them.

They called out to you. But you didn’t answer them.

42 I beat them as fine as dust blown by the wind.

I poured them out like mud in the streets.

40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,

And I destroyed those who hated me.

41 They cried for help, but there was none to save,

Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.

42 Then I beat them fine as the dust before the wind;

I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.
