37I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
I did not turn back until they were consumed.
38I crushed them so they could not rise;
they have fallen under my feet.
39You have armed me with strength for battle;
You have subdued my foes beneath me.
40You have made my enemies retreat before me;
I put an end to those who hated me.
41They cried for help, but there was no one to save them —
to the LORD, but He did not answer.
— Psalm 18:37-41
