Psalms 68:22

20 Our God is the God of salvation;
And ^ato GOD the Lord belong escapes from death.

21 But ^aGod will wound the head of His enemies,
^bThe hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.

22 The Lord said, “I will bring ^aback from Bashan,
I will bring them back ^bfrom the depths of the sea,

23 ^aThat¹ your foot may crush them in blood,
^bAnd the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”

24 They have seen Your¹ procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

Former examples of God's deliverance are generalized: as He has done, so He will do.

from Bashan—the farthest region; and—

depths of the sea—the severest afflictions. Out of all, God will bring them. The figures of Psalms 68:23 denote the completeness of the conquest, not implying any savage cruelty (compare II Kings 9:36; Isaiah 63:1-6; Jeremiah 15:3).
