Contextual Overview
29For by You I run [against] a troop! And by my God I leap a wall. 30God—perfect [is] His way, || The saying of YHWH is tried, || He [is] a shield to all those trusting in Him. 31For who [is] God besides YHWH?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them,.... Which may refer to David's pursuing the Amalekites, who overtook them and recovered all they had carried away, 1 Samuel 30:8; so Kimchi explains it;
neither did I turn again till they were consumed; for not a man escaped, save four hundred young men that rode on camels and fled,
Psalms 18:17.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them - He had not only routed them, but had had strength to pursue them; he had not only pursued them, but he had been enabled to come up to them. The idea is that of complete success and absolute triumph.
Neither did I turn again - I was not driven back, nor was I weary and exhausted, and compelled to give over the pursuit.
Till they were consumed - Until they were all either slain or made captive, so that the hostile forces vanished. None of my enemies were left.
