King James Bible
"I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet."
David describes complete victory over his enemies, emphasizing their total incapacitation through divine empowerment. The language reflects ancient Near Eastern battle imagery where defeating enemies to the point of permanent collapse demonstrated God's intervention on behalf of His anointed. This phrase depicts the traditional posture of total conquest, where victors would place their feet on defeated foes' necks as a symbol of dominance. It underscores not just military success but God's vindication of David's righteous cause against those who opposed God's chosen king.
