ESVEnglish Standard Version

You made my enemies turn their backs to me,

and those who hated me I destroyed.

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

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

I beat them fine as dust before the wind;

I cast them out like the mire of the streets.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You have made my enemies retreat before me;

I annihilate those who hate me.

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

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

I pulverize them like dust before the wind;

I trample them like mud in the streets.

NLTNew Living Translation

You placed my foot on their necks.

I have destroyed all who hated me.

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

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

I ground them as fine as dust in the wind.

I swept them into the gutter like dirt.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And you made my enemies turn their backs,

then I destroyed those who hated me.

They cried out but there was no rescuer,

even to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.

And I ground them like dust in the wind,

I emptied them out like mud of the streets.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies;

That I might destroy them that hate me.

They cried, but there was none to save them:

Even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

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

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