38 I pursued my enemies and adestroyed them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
39 And I have consumed them and crushed them, so that they did not rise;
And athey fell under my feet.
40 For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have subdued under me athose who rose up against me.
41 You have also amade my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I destroyed those who hated me.
42 aThey looked, but there was none to save;
bEven to Yahweh, but He did not answer them.
43 aThen I beat them fine as the dust of the earth;
bI pulverized and stamped them as the mire of the streets.
