Commentary

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies,.... Either to slay them, or to trample or put a yoke upon them; or rather the sense is, thou hast made them to fly before me, to turn their necks or backs unto me, as the word is used in Jos 7:8 ; and it is expressive of an utter rout and vanquishing of them; that I might destroy them that hate me; they not being able to face him and stand against him.
