Psalm 18:39 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:39

For thou hast girded me with strength unto battle
See ( Psalms 18:32 ) ; that natural strength, courage and valour, which David had, were from the Lord; and so is the Spirit of power, love, and of a sound mind, which believers have; and likewise that strength which Christ, as man, had and used in his combat with the powers of darkness; see ( Psalms 80:17 ) ;

thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me;
as the psalmist ascribes his strength, so he attributes his success to the Lord; who likewise subdues the sins of his people, and all other enemies of theirs, and who also makes the enemies of his Son his footstool, ( Psalms 110:1 ) .

37 Perseguí a mis enemigos y los alcancé; y no me volví hasta acabarlos.

38 Los destrocé y no pudieron levantarse; cayeron debajo de mis pies.

39 Pues tú me has ceñido con fuerza para la batalla; has subyugado debajo de mí a los que contra mí se levantaron.

40 También has hecho que mis enemigos me vuelvan las espaldas, y destruí a los que me odiaban.

41 Clamaron, mas no hubo quién los salvara; aun al SEÑOR clamaron, mas no les respondió.
