Context of 2 Samuel 22:40
38I pursue my enemies and destroy them. I will not return till they are consumed. 39I consumed them and crushed them till they cannot rise; yes, they fall beneath my feet. You girded me with strength for battle. You made those rising up against me bow down before me. 41You also made my enemies turn their backs to me. I cut off those who hate me. 42They looked, but there was none to save —to Adonai, but He did not answer them.
