On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Gives God the glory and takes to himself the comfort of the divine blessing and salvation which are sure to all the people of God,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Saul and the Philistines, who were sometimes ready to swallow him up, could not effect what they designed. The teeth that are gnashed or sharpened against God's people shall be broken. When, at any time, the power of the church's enemies seems threatening, it is good to remember how often God has broken it; and we are sure that his arm is not shortened.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Arise, O Lord--God is figuratively represented as asleep to denote His apparent indifference (Ps 7:6). The use of "cheekbone" and "teeth" represents his enemies as fierce, like wild beasts ready to devour (Ps 27:2), and smiting their cheekbone (1Ki 22:24) denotes violence and insult. thou hast broken--God took his part, utterly depriving the enemy of power to injure.
