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 wounded them, that they were not able to rise,.... Which was not only true of the Amalekites, but of all with whom David engaged in war;

they are fallen under my feet; either dead, or become subject and tributaries to him; as the Philistines, Moabites, Syrians, and Edomites; see 2 Samuel 8:1. This, with Psalms 18:37, may very well be accommodated to David's antitype, and be expressive of the entire victory he has obtained over all his and his people's enemies; he wounded the heads over many countries, Psalms 110:6. Satan and his principalities and powers, whose head is broke, whose works are destroyed; yea, he himself, which had the power of death, so as not to be able to rise more against Christ, who has led captivity captive: he has also finished and made an end of sin, and overcome the world; nor did he turn back from this work he engaged in until he had made a complete conquest; and moreover he has likewise made his people more than conquerors, through him, over these same enemies; so that the words are also applicable to them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I have wounded them ... - I have so weakened them - so entirely prostrated them - that they were not able to rally again. This does not refer so much to wounds inflicted on individuals in the hostile ranks as to the entire host or army. It was so weakened that it could not again be put in battle array. The idea is that of successful pursuit and conquest.

They are fallen under my feet - I have completely trodden them down - a common mode of denoting entire victory, Psalms 119:118; Isaiah 25:10; Lamentations 1:15; Daniel 8:13; Luke 21:24.
