Contextual Overview
29 With your help I can defeat an army. If my God is with me, I can climb over enemy walls. 30 God's way is perfect. The Lord 's promise always proves to be true. He protects those who trust in him. 31 There is no God except the Lord . There is no Rock except our God. 32 God is the one who gives me strength. He clears the path I need to take. 33 He makes my feet as steady as those of a deer. Even on steep mountains he keeps me from falling. 34 He trains me for war so that my arms can bend the most powerful bow. 35 Lord, you have given me your shield to protect me. You support me with your right hand. It is your help that has made me great. 36 You cleared a path for my feet so that I could walk without stumbling. 37 I chased my enemies and caught them. I did not stop until they were destroyed. 38 I struck them down, and they could not get up again. They fell under my feet.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them,.... Which may refer to David's pursuing the Amalekites, who overtook them and recovered all they had carried away, 1 Samuel 30:8; so Kimchi explains it;
neither did I turn again till they were consumed; for not a man escaped, save four hundred young men that rode on camels and fled,
Psalms 18:17.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them - He had not only routed them, but had had strength to pursue them; he had not only pursued them, but he had been enabled to come up to them. The idea is that of complete success and absolute triumph.
Neither did I turn again - I was not driven back, nor was I weary and exhausted, and compelled to give over the pursuit.
Till they were consumed - Until they were all either slain or made captive, so that the hostile forces vanished. None of my enemies were left.
