39 And I have destroyed them and wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen ^aunder my feet. ‡

40 For You have^{1 a}armed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me ^bthose who rose against me. ‡

42 They looked, but there was none to save;
Even ^ato the Lord, but He did not answer them. ‡

43 Then I beat them as fine ^aas the dust of the earth;
I trod them ^blike dirt in the streets,
And I¹ spread them out. ‡
