Verse 6. I am brought very low, etc. However true this may have been of David lurking in a cave, while his enemy, Saul, was at the head of a powerful army, it is more literally true of Christ, who could truly say, "I am brought very low", because "he himself became obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross." He was also "brought very low", when he, that had the right of sitting on the cherubim, hung between two robbers. Truly also were his enemies "stronger than he" when "their hour came", and "power was given to darkness", so as to appear, for awhile, to eclipse the sun of justice itself. -- Robert Bellarmine.
Verse 6. For they are stronger than
. Thou canst make us "stronger than our enemies": Ps 105:24. He who is stronger than the strong man armed ( Luke 11:22 ), Israel's oppressor, and whose very "weakness is stronger than men" ( 1 Corinthians 1:25 ), shall "ransom" her "from him that was stronger than" she: Jeremiah 31:11 Psalms 18:17 . --Andrew Robert Fausset.
