A Prophecy of Christ's Victory
Multiple commentators see this verse as a prophecy fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The prayer for enemies to be 'driven backward' is linked to events like the soldiers falling back in the Garden of Gethsemane. The ultimate 'shame and confusion' of those who sought to destroy Jesus was accomplished through His resurrection, which secured salvation for all.
