“They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.”
The concluding vision that the righteous will rejoice and God will be praised articulates the ultimate goal of the psalm: the public manifestation of God's power through the vindication of the righteous. The reference to all who swear by God establishing the truth indicates that the entire community will acknowledge the victory of truth over lies and faithfulness over betrayal. This verse closes the psalm with the affirmation that personal devotion participates in cosmic vindication and universal praise of God.
