Exegesis
The Hif’il imperfect arikem {אֲרִיקֵם | ʾă·rî·qēm} “I emptied them” denotes causative removal. This parallelism and repeated first-person subject heighten the rhetorical force of the victory song.
In context — Psalm 18:42
And I pulverized them like dust upon the face of the wind; like mud of the streets I emptied them.
