Psalms 76:3

There brake he, &c. That is, in Judah, or at or near Jerusalem; the arrows of the bow Hebrew, רשׁפי קשׁת, rishpee kasheth, the sparks of the bow, the sparkling arrows, bright and shining, swift and piercing, like sparks of fire. Some render it, the fiery arrows of the bow, the shield and the sword Both offensive and defensive weapons, so that they could neither hurt God's people nor save themselves from ruin; and the battle The force and fury of the battle, and all the power of the army put in battle array.
