David, in confidence of his integrity, craves defense of God against his enemies10. He shows their pride, craft, and eagerness 13. He prays against them in confidence of his hope Arise, O LORD, This phrase is a call for divine intervention, reflecting a common theme in the Psalms where the psalmist seeks God's active presence in times of trouble. The use of "Arise" is reminiscent of Numbers 10:35, where Moses would call upon the Lord to rise and scatter His enemies. It signifies a plea for God to take action and is a demonstration of faith in God's power and sovereignty. confront them!

Faith is essential in facing adversities with confidence in God's deliverance.(13) Disappoint.--Rather, go to meet, as a champion defending some one. Which is thy sword.--This thought, making the wicked God's weapons of wrath (Isaiah 10:5), is arbitrarily introduced by the Authorised Version, and is quite out of keeping with the context. Translate "with thy sword," either understanding a preposition, or treating the accusative as an adverb of manner; as an adverb of time and place it is common. Similarly in the next verse, "with thy hand from men of the world." Verse 13. - Arise, O Lord (comp. Psalm 7:6; Psalm 9:19; Psalm 10:12; Psalm 44:26, etc.). Having described the character of the wicked man, and pointed out his ill desert (vers. 9-12), the psalmist now invokes God's vengeance upon him. "Right" requires equally the succour of the godly and the punishment of the ungodly man. Disappoint him, cast him down; literally, get before him, bow him down; i.e. intercept his spring, and bow him down to the earth (see Psalm 18:39). Deliver my soul from the wicked. This will be the result of the interposition. When the ungodly are cast down, the righteous are delivered out of their hand. Which is thy sword. 4. true statement (see Isaiah 10:5), but scarcely what the writer intended in this place, where he is regarding the wicked as altogether opposed to God. It is best to translate, with the Revised Version, Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword.Parallel Commentaries ...
