Salmos 18:40

40 Y dísteme la cerviz de mis enemigos, Y destruí á los que me aborrecían.

Salmos 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.

Salmos 18:40 In-Context

38 Helos herido, y no podrán levantarse: Cayeron debajo de mis pies.
39 Pues me ceñiste de fortaleza para la pelea; Has agobiado mis enemigos debajo de mí.
40 Y dísteme la cerviz de mis enemigos, Y destruí á los que me aborrecían.
41 Clamaron, y no hubo quien salvase: Aun á Jehová, mas no los oyó.
42 Y molílos como polvo delante del viento; Esparcílos como lodo de las calles.
