39 For You have (A)encircled me with strength for battle;
You have forced those who rose up against me (B)to bow down under me.
40 You have also made my enemies (C)turn their backs to me,
And I [a](D)destroyed those who hated me.
41 They cried for help, but there was (E)no one to save,
They cried to the Lord, but (F)He did not answer them.
