Psalms 18:39

Strength and help in weakness

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.

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

You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.

40 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.

41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
