Psalm 18:42 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 18.

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

39 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.

42 I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.

43 You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.

44 When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.

45 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.

46 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
