God's Final Judgment on Oppressors
Commentators widely agree that this verse describes the final, irreversible destruction of Israel's earthly oppressors—the kings and tyrants who had enslaved them. God's judgment is so complete that these enemies are described as 'dead' and unable to 'rise' again to cause harm. This serves as a powerful promise that God will ultimately and permanently defeat all powers that stand against His people.
