Contextual Overview

1 Pleade thou my cause O God, with them that striue with me: and fight thou agaynst them that fight against me. 2 Lay hand vppon a shielde & buckler: and stande vp to helpe me. 3 Bryng foorth the speare, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation. 4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backe and brought to cofusion, that imagine mischiefe for me. 5 Let them be as dust before the winde: and let the angell of God scatter [them.] 6 Let their way be darke and slipperie: & let the angell of God persecute them. 7 For without a cause they haue priuily layde for me a pit [full] of their nettes: without a cause they haue made a digyng vnto my soule. 8 Let a sodayne destruction come vpon hym vnawares: and his net that he hath layde priuily catch hym selfe, let him fall into it with [his owne] destruction. 9 [And] my soule shalbe ioyfull in God: it shall reioyce in his saluation. 10 All my bones shall say, God who is lyke vnto thee? whiche deliuerest the poore from hym that is to strong for him: yea the poore and him that is in miserie, from him that spoyleth 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.
