Commentary

For I will not trust in my bow,.... In any carnal weapon, in any creature help and assistance, or in a n arm of flesh, but in the word of the Lord, and in his name; see Psa 20:7 ; neither shall my sword save me; that is, I will not ascribe salvation to it; the church's weapons are not carnal, but spiritual; not the sword of the civil magistrate, but the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; Christ's kingdom, being not of this world, is not supported and defended by worldly means, or carnal weapons.
