Contextual Overview
1 Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me. 2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help. 3 Bring forth a sword, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation. 4 Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame. 5 Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them. 7 For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul. 8 Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare. 9 But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation. 10 All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let them be as chaff before the wind,.... As they are; see Psalms 1:4;
and let the angel of the Lord chase [them]; either a good angel, who is the Lord's, his creature that ministers unto him, and is ready to obey his orders; and who, as he encamps about the saints and protects them, so he is able to destroy their enemies; as one angel in a night destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt, and another the whole army of the Assyrians, Exodus 12:29; an angel of the Lord, who is swift to fly, and so to chase and overtake, and able to execute whatever is the will of the Lord; or else an evil angel, who is the Lord's, being made by him, though not made evil by him; and who is under his restraints, and can do nothing but by his permission; and who sometimes is employed by the Lord, as the executioner of his wrath upon wicked men; is suffered to distress and torture their consciences in this life, and hereafter drag them into everlasting burnings, prepared for the devil and his angels.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let them be as chaff before the wind - As chaff is driven away in winnowing grain. See the notes at Psalms 1:4.
And let the angel of the Lord chase them - Drive them away, or scatter them. Angels are often represented in the Scriptures as agents employed by God in bringing punishment on wicked people. See 2 Kings 19:35; Isaiah 37:36; 1Ch 21:12, 1 Chronicles 21:30; 2 Samuel 24:16.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 35:5. Let the angel of the Lord chase them.] By angel we may either understand one of those spirits, whether good or bad, commonly thus denominated, or any thing used by God himself as the instrument of their confusion.
