³⁷I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed. ³⁸I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet. 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.
