42They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.
43Then they were crushed as small as dust before the wind; they were drained out like the waste of the streets.
44You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.
45From the time when my name comes to their ears they will be ruled by me: men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority.
46They will be wasting away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.
47The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured.
48It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.
