The final lines of God's oracle indicate that despite the current apparent rejection, God will ultimately lead the people to victory and dominion. The shift from divine lament to divine assertion of ultimate victory transforms the psalm's entire direction: the current defeat is temporary and will be reversed by God's action. The assurance that God will go over Edom with strong shoes indicates military conquest and complete subjugation of enemies. This verse establishes that the current catastrophe is not the final word; God will effect restoration and vindication.
