The Language of Total Victory
Commentators note the powerful and decisive language used in this verse. Words like "consumed," "cannot arise," and "fallen under my feet" depict a total and final victory. One scholar, Charles Ellicott, even suggests that the word translated as "wounded" is better understood as the more forceful "crushed." This emphasizes that the deliverance God grants is absolute, leaving no power for the enemy to recover.
