Psalms 35:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.

Let them be as chaff - (Psalms 1:4.)

Angel ... The same Divine Angel who "encampeth round about them that fear Him" (Psalms 34:7). For "chase" translate (docheh) 'pushing' them, so as to full never to rise (Psalms 36:12; Psalms 118:13); or so as to have no resting-place, whereas the chaff at last rests on something to which it adheres.
