They be many that fight against me, &c.— The word מרום marom, rendered O thou most High, is not found any where singly applied to God. It generally signifies a high place; and when applied to persons, it denotes their superior elevation, as to dwelling and station. See Psalms 92:8; Psalms 93:4.Isaiah 24:21.Ecclesiastes 10:6. It should be rendered, In high places, or stations. David might well complain, that those who fought against him were in high stations, since his enemies were Saul and his officers; and when he fled from them, Achish, and the princes of the Philistines, among whom he promised himself a safe retreat. Chandler. Mudge renders it, With a high hand.
