"You make my enemies retreat; I destroy those who hate me."
— Psalms 18:40, NET Bible®
I chase my enemies and catch them; I do not turn back until I wipe them out.
I beat them to death; they fall at my feet.
You give me strength for battle; you make my foes kneel before me.
You make my enemies retreat; I destroy those who hate me.
They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the LORD, but he does not answer them.
I grind them as fine windblown dust; I beat them underfoot like clay in the streets.
You rescue me from a hostile army; you make me a leader of nations; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.
