Psalms 18:29

“And this on past experience in his military life, set forth by these figures.”

“For by thee I have run through a troop - Margin, broken. The word troop here refers to bands of soldiers, or hosts of enemies. The word rendered run through means properly to run; and then, as here, to run or rush upon in a hostile sense; to rush with violence upon one. The idea here is that he had been enabled to rush with violence upon his armed opposers; that is, to overcome them, and to secure a victory. The allusion is to the wars in which he had been engaged.

“Troop - Broken through the armed troops of mine enemies. Wall - I have scaled the walls of their strongest cites. Psalms 18:30”

“18:29 scale any wall: God helps his servants fight their battles.”

“by thee: Psa 44:6, Psa 44:7, Psa 144:1, Psa 144:10; Sa1 17:49, Sa1 23:2, Sa1 30:8; Sa2 5:19, Sa2 5:20, Sa2 5:25; Eph 6:10-13; Col 2:15; Rev 3:21 run: or, broken by my God: Sa2 22:30; Co1 15:10; Co2 12:9, Co2 12:10 Psalms 18:30”
