From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And ye shall tread down the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet. It shall be a great reversal. He that exalteth himself shall be abased, and he, that humbleth himself shall be exalted -Here the wicked often have the pre-eminence. This was the complaint of the murmurers among the Jews; in the morning of the ResurrectionPsalms 49:14, “the upright shall have dominion over them.” The wicked, he had said, shall be as stubble, and that dayPsalms 4:1, “shall burn them up;” here, then, they are as the ashes, the only remnant of the stubble, as the dust under the feet. “The elect shall rejoice, that they have, in mercy, escaped such misery.
