His troops, i.e. my afflictions, which are but God's instruments and soldiers marching under his conduct. Raise up their way; either,
1. Cast a bank or trench round about me, as an army doth when they go to besiege a place. Or rather,
2. Make a causeway or raised path, as pioneers usually do in low and waterish grounds for the march of an army. God removes all impediments out of the way, and lays me open to all manner of mischief.
