Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
David came to the throne through almost insurmountable trials, and foreign enemies harassed him even into old age. Rather than boast of his own victories, he exalts God as the true author of them, showing that his reign prefigures Christ's kingdom, one that will triumph over all resistance by the Father's incomprehensible power.

Commenting on Psalm 18:29
Their power was broken into dust, as weak before the wind as mud beneath the feet, this is what became of God's enemies through Christ's victory on the cross. Arise, my soul, and advance against your foes; they have taken a deadly blow, and Hell and sin are vanquished now that Jesus nailed them to His cross.
