“And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.”
God strikes the enemies: "He put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shame." After a period in which the foe seemed victorious, God rises to defeat them. The phrase "everlasting shame" suggests a permanent reversal of fortune; the enemies' victory is transient.
