Psalms 18:40 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:40

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies
Either to slay them, or to trample or put a yoke upon them; or rather the sense is, thou hast made them to fly before me, to turn their necks or backs unto me, as the word is used in ( Joshua 7:8 ) ; and it is expressive of an utter rout and vanquishing of them;

that I might destroy them that hate me;
they not being able to face him and stand against him.

Psalms 18:40 In-Context

38 I nailed them; they were down for good; then I walked all over them.
39 You armed me well for this fight, you smashed the upstarts.
40 You made my enemies turn tail, and I wiped out the haters.
41 They cried "uncle" but Uncle didn't come; They yelled for God and got no for an answer.
42 I ground them to dust; they gusted in the wind. I threw them out, like garbage in the gutter.
