John Trapp on Psalms 35:2

Verſ. 2. Take hold of ſhield and buckler] Jehovab is a man of war, Exod. 15.5. and ſo he is here ſtirred up to harneſs himſelf: Not that he needeth weapons defenſive, as here, or offenſive, as verſ. 3. for he can deſtroy his enemies, ſole nutu ac flatu, with a nod, or a blaſt: But this is ſpoken after the manner of men, and for our better apprehenſion of Gods readineſſe to relieve his diſtreſſed ones.
