Psalm 68:23 in the World English Bible
that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”Read Psalm 68:23 in the WEB
Matthew Henry on Psalm 68:23
That he will make them victorious over their enemies (v. 23): That thy feet may be dipped, as thou passest along, in the blood of thy enemies, shed like water in great abundance, and the tongue of thy dogs may lap in the same. Dogs licked the blood of Ahab; and, in the destruction of the anti-christian generation, we read of blood up to the horses' bridles, Rev. xiv. 20.
