37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
38 I have wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.
39 For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have [a]subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.

(A)Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;
I (B)cast them out like dirt in the streets.
