63:7 On shadow of your wings, see notes at 17:8; 27:5.
63:8 The right hand represented strength and the place from which the Lord protected and helped his people (see note at 16:8).
63:9 The depths of the earth is another way of describing Sheol or death (86:13; Is 44:23; Ezk 26:20).
63:10 The first line is literally “they will be poured out on the hands of the sword,” where “hands” refers to power. This is a more intensive way of expressing the idea of the psalmist’s enemies receiving what was coming to them (Jr 18:21; Ezk 35:5).
63:11 Swear by him is a way of saying that the Lord is the only source of security. It is essentially another way of describing a person’s trust in God. The Lord’s people are to boast only because they know him (see notes at 34:1-3; 52:1).
