Scripture focus

37. I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 38. I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 39. For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 40. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 41. They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 42. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 43. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me. 44. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 45. The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 18:37

Theological / Devotional

Pursued. Compare Ex. 15:9. The verbs in vs. 37 and 38 are in the imperfect tense, permitting a translation into the English present. The pictures thus become graphic: “I pursue …” etc. The succession of actions in vs. 37–45 gives an impression of complete victory. Because of God’s intervention, the enemy is finally and fully overthrown.
