When my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh Greedy to devour me: aiming at no less than my utter destruction, and confident they should effect it; they stumbled and fell Not, I smote them and they fell, but they stumbled, namely, of their own accord, without my lifting a hand against them; and fell They were so confounded and weakened that they could not go on with their enterprise. Thus they that came to take Christ were, by a word of his, made to stagger and fall to the ground, John 18:6. The ruin of some of the enemies of God's people is an earnest of the complete conquest of them all. And, therefore, these being fallen, he is fearless of the rest. Though a host should encamp, &c. Though my enemies be numerous as a host; though they be daring, and their attempts threatening; though they encamp against me, an army against one man; though they wage war upon me, yet my heart shall not fear Hosts cannot hurt us, if the Lord of hosts protect us.
