Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

Verse 41 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poem concludes by celebrating that God equips David for battle, gives him strength, subdues his enemies, and establishes his greatness. Victory does not end in personal exaltation: David blesses the Lord and recognizes that God shows steadfast love to his anointed and his descendants. The reference to descendants connects the song with the promise of 2 Samuel 7. The poem functions as a theological interpretation of the reign: God is the ultimate source of victory and Davidic continuity.

Du gibst mir meine Feinde in die Flucht, daß ich verstöre, die mich hassen.
Tú me diste la cerviz de mis enemigos, De mis aborrecedores, y que yo los destruyese.
Hiciste que mis enemigos me volvieran la espalda y destruí a quienes me odiaban.
Tu fais tourner le dos à mes ennemis devant moi, Et j'extermine ceux qui me haïssent.
Ed hai fatte voltar le spalle a’ miei nemici, Ed a coloro che mi odiavano, davanti a me; Ed io li ho sterminati.
E deste-me o pescoço de meus inimigos, daqueles que me tinham ódio, e os destruí.
你又使我的仇敵在我面前轉身逃跑, 使我能殲滅那恨我的人。
