Are sunk down -That is, referring to those who had been overcome, as mentioned inPsalms 9:5; or to those who still encompassed him, in respect to whom he was so certain that they would be overcome that he could speak of it as a thing already accomplished.

It is not easy to determine which is the true interpretation.
