For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Ver. 2. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult] Concurrunt magno impetu, conatu, et ardore, Thine, because ours; for there is a league offensive and defensive between God and his people; the Church must, therefore, needs be invincible, because God is so.
Have lifted up the head] Being insolent and confident, they bear their noses high in the air, uttering loud and lofty language; as did Rabshakeh, sent by Sennacherib, 2 Kings 18:17, to which times some refer this psalm, as others to those of Jehoshaphat, 2 Chronicles 20:1,2 (Kimchi).
