Psalm 35:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 35:5

Let them be as chaff before the wind
As they are; see ( Psalms 1:4 ) ;

and let the angel of the Lord chase [them];
either a good angel, who is the Lord's, his creature that ministers unto him, and is ready to obey his orders; and who, as he encamps about the saints and protects them, so he is able to destroy their enemies; as one angel in a night destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt, and another the whole army of the Assyrians, ( Exodus 12:29 ) ( 2 Kings 19:35 ) ; an angel of the Lord, who is swift to fly, and so to chase and overtake, and able to execute whatever is the will of the Lord; or else an evil angel, who is the Lord's, being made by him, though not made evil by him; and who is under his restraints, and can do nothing but by his permission; and who sometimes is employed by the Lord, as the executioner of his wrath upon wicked men; is suffered to distress and torture their consciences in this life, and hereafter drag them into everlasting burnings, prepared for the devil and his angels.

Psalm 35:5 In-Context

3 Levanta tu lanza y tu jabalina
contra los que me persiguen.
Quiero oírte decir:
«¡Yo te daré la victoria!».

4 Avergüenza y causa deshonra a los que tratan de matarme;
hazlos retroceder y humilla a los que quieren hacerme daño.

5 Sopla y espárcelos como paja en el viento,
un viento mandado por el ángel del Señor
.

6 Haz que su camino sea oscuro y resbaladizo,
y que el ángel del Señor
los persiga.

7 Yo no les hice ningún mal, pero ellos me tendieron una trampa;
no les hice ningún mal, pero cavaron una fosa para atraparme.
