“The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.”
You marched through the earth in fury; you threshed the nations in anger. You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, laying bare from foundation to roof—the theophanic march manifests divine fury against the wicked specifically for the deliverance of God's people and anointed one. The total destruction of the wicked house (from foundation to roof) emphasizes complete annihilation. The verse connects God's judgment of the wicked to God's salvation of the righteous.
