For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
Ver. 17. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken] i.e. His power, valour, all that wherein they think their strength and help standeth. See Psalms 37:15; the strongest sinew in the arm of flesh cracks.
But the Lord upholdeth the righteous] Though seemingly never so weak and wealthless.
