Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Let them be as chaff before the wind (comp. Psalm 1:4; Isaiah 17:13; Isaiah 29:5; Hosea 13:3). Chaff is the type of whatever is light, vain, futile, and worthless; chaff driven before the wind represents the confused rout of a beaten army flying without any resistance before an enemy. And let the angel of the Lord chase them; rather, smite them. The angel of the Lord, who protects the righteous (Psalm 34:7), is called on to complete the discomfiture of the wicked ones, who are David's enemies.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) As chaff.--Comp. Psalm 1:4, and see Note. There can be little doubt that the "angel of Jehovah" in this and the following verse is (comp. Psalm 104:4) a personification of the "hurricane" itself, which drives before it all obstacles, and overwhelms even whole armies in dangerous places.
