ACV(i)
40 For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41 Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even to LORD, but he did not answer them.
43 Then I beat them small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
44 Thou have also delivered me from the strivings of my people. Thou have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
