⁴³ I crushed them like fine dust before the wind;
    I trod on them like mud in the streets.
⁴⁴ You delivered me from a people in rebellion,
    and you placed me in charge of the nations;
    people I did not know have become my subjects.
⁴⁵ As soon as they heard me, they obeyed;
    foreigners groveled before me.
