Without me--not having Me to "flee to" (Isa 10:3). bow down--Bereft of strength they shall fall; or else, they shall lie down fettered. under . . . under--rather, "among" (literally, "in the place of") [HORSLEY]. The "under" may be, however, explained, "trodden under the (feet of the) prisoners going into captivity," and "overwhelmed under the heaps of slain on the battlefield" [MAURER].
