5. the Lord sustained me--literally, "will sustain me," the reason of his composure.
6. ten thousands of people--or, "myriads," any very great number (compare 2 Samuel 16:18 ).
7. Arise, O Lord--God is figuratively represented as asleep to denote His apparent indifference ( Psalms 7:6 ). The use of "cheekbone" and "teeth" represents his enemies as fierce, like wild beasts ready to devour ( Psalms 27:2 ), and smiting their cheekbone ( 1 Kings 22:24 ) denotes violence and insult.
thou hast broken--God took his part, utterly depriving the enemy of power to injure.
8. an ascription of praise to a delivering God, whose favor is an efficient benefit.
