18:37 I chase my enemies and catch
I do not turn back until I wipe them out.
18:38 I beat them
they fall at my feet.
18:39 You give me strength
you make my foes kneel before me.
18:40 You make my enemies retreat;
I destroy those who hate me.
18:41 They cry out, but there is no one to help them;
they cry out to the Lord,
18:42 I grind them as fine windblown dust;
I beat them underfoot
18:43 You rescue me from a hostile army;
you make me
people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.
18:44 When they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.
Foreigners are powerless
18:45 foreigners lose their courage;
they shake with fear
