What Does 2 Samuel 22:39 Mean?
David completes the picture of victory: his foes 'could not arise' and have 'fallen under my feet.' The enemies who once were too strong for him (v. 18) now lie defeated. The turn is total, and all of it traced back to God's strength.
The image of enemies fallen 'under my feet' echoes forward through Scripture to the promise that every hostile power will at last be put beneath the feet of God's Anointed. The believer takes heart that no opposing force has the final word; the King reigns, and His triumph is complete.
