I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.

Context

39“And I have devoured them and shattered them, so that they did not rise;
And they fell under my feet.

40“For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

41“You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I destroyed those who hated me.

42“They looked, but there was none to save;
Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.

43“Then I pulverized them as the dust of the earth;
I crushed and stamped them as the mire of the streets.

44“You have also delivered me from the contentions of my people;
You have kept me as head of the nations;
A people whom I have not known serve me.

45“Foreigners pretend obedience to me;
As soon as they hear, they obey me.

46“Foreigners lose heart,
And come trembling out of their fortresses.

47“The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock;
And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

48The God who executes vengeance for me,
And brings down peoples under me,

49Who also brings me out from my enemies;
You even lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.

50“Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the nations,
And I will sing praises to Your name.

51“He is a tower of deliverance to His king,
And shows lovingkindness to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forever.”
