span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.18.1" class="versetxt"> In finem. Psalmus David. [Cæli enarrant gloriam Dei,
et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum.
Dies diei eructat verbum,
et nox nocti indicat scientiam.
Non sunt loquelæ, neque sermones,
quorum non audiantur voces eorum.
In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum,
et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.
In sole posuit tabernaculum suum;
et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo.
Exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam;
a summo cælo egressio ejus.
Et occursus ejus usque ad summum ejus;
nec est qui se abscondat a calore ejus.
Lex Domini immaculata, convertens animas;
testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam præstans parvulis.
Justitiæ Domini rectæ, lætificantes corda;
præceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos.
Timor Domini sanctus, permanens in sæculum sæculi;
judicia Domini vera, justificata in semetipsa,
desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum,
et dulciora super mel et favum.
Etenim servus tuus custodit ea;
in custodiendis illis retributio multa.
Delicta quis intelligit?
ab occultis meis munda me;
et ab alienis parce servo tuo.
Si mei non fuerint dominati, tunc immaculatus ero,
et emundabor a delicto maximo.
Et erunt ut complaceant eloquia oris mei,
et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo semper.
Domine, adjutor meus, et redemptor meus.]

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.
