37 I apursued my enemies and overtook them,

And I did not turn back buntil they were consumed.

38 I shattered them, so that they were anot able to rise;

They fell bunder my feet.

39 For You have agirded me with strength for battle;

You have 1bsubdued under me those who rose up against me.

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

And I 1bdestroyed those who hated me.

41 They cried for help, but there was anone to save,

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

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

I emptied them out as the mire of the streets.

43 You have delivered me from the acontentions of the people;

You have placed me as bhead of the nations;

A cpeople whom I have not known serve me.

44 As soon as they hear, they obey me;

Foreigners 1asubmit to me.

45 Foreigners afade away,

And bcome trembling out of their 1fortresses.
