Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries,.... O remnant of Jacob or Israel, as the Targum; the church of God; now will be the time that it shall prevail over all the antichristian states; now will the Christian princes pour out the vials of God's wrath upon them; and they shall feel the strength and weight of their hand; which will fall heavy upon them, even to their utter destruction: or thine hand, O Messiah, the ruler in Israel, the man the peace that shall deliver from the Assyrian; and who will be at the head of his church and people, the remnant of Jacob, and destroy their enemies with the sword that proceeds out of his mouth:

and all thine enemies shall be cut off; all the enemies of Christ and his church; all the kings of the earth that shall gather against them, the beast and false prophet, with all their followers; see

Revelation 19:19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Their hand shall be lifted up upon their adversaries - The might of the Church is the Might of Christ in her, and the glory of the Church is His from whom it comes and to whom it returns. It is all one, whether this be said to Christ or to the “remnant of Jacob, that is, His Church. Her “enemies” are His, and her’s only because they are His, and hate her as belonging to Him. They “shall be cut off,” either ceasing to be His enemies, or ceasing to be, as Julian or Arius or antichrist, “whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His Mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His Coming” 2 Thessalonians 2:8. And in the end, Satan also, over whom Christ gave the Apostles “power to tread on all the power of the Enemy” Luke 10:19, shall be “bruised under our feet” Romans 16:20.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 9. All thine enemies shall be cut off. — The Assyrians, who had destroyed Israel; and the Babylonians, who had ruined Judah.
