Psalms 18:40

"Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,

That I may cut them off that hate me.

They cried, but there was none to save;

Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind;

I did cast them out as the mire of the streets."

David here acknowledge that his victories, even with all of his skills and strength, did not come of himself alone but were the gift of God.

"They cried ... even unto Jehovah." Here again we have a suggestion of the Final Judgment of the Great Day when earth's kings, captains, and mighty men shall "cry for the rocks and the mountains to fall upon them" (Revelation 6:16).

It is at this point that the psalm appears to drift into overtones that are Messianic.
