37I pursued my enemies and overtook them,

and did not turn back till they were consumed.

38I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;

they fell under my feet.

39For you equipped me with strength for the battle;

you made those who rise against me sink under me.

40You made my enemies qturn their backs to me,5

and those who hated me I destroyed.
