Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 33:11

11 Bless, LORD, his substance , and accept the work of his hands , smite through the loins of them that rise against him , and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

(i. e.) His outward estate, as Deut. 8. 18. because he hath no inheritance of his own and therefore wholly depends upon thy blessing. Or, His Host or Army, as the word is used Ezek. 37. 10. The Priests that attended upon Gods service in the Tabernacle or Temple are oft compared to an host or army in regard of their exquisite order and courses and constant watches there. See Numb. 4. 3.

(i. e.) All his holy administrations which he fitly calls the works of his hands, either more largely, the hand, one great instrument of action being put for all the rest: Or because a great part of the service of the Levites and Priests was done by the labour of their hand and body, whereas the service of Evangelical Ministers is more spiritual and heavenly.

He prayes thus earnestly for them, partly because he foresaw they who were to teach and admonish, and reprove, and chastise others would have many enemies, Ier. 15. 10. Amos 5. 10. and partly because they were under God, the great preservers and upholders of Religion, and their Enemies were the Enemies of Religion it self, as is evident from the history of the Old Testament.
