Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 71. - That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us. When Zacharias spoke these words, his mind, no doubt, was on Rome and its creatures, Herod and his party, whom Rome had set up. The deliverance of Israel, in every Hebrew heart, was the first and great work of the coming Deliverer; but the inspired words had a far broader reference than to Rome, and the enemies of Israelitic prosperity. The expression includes those spiritual evil agencies which war their ceaseless warfare against the soul of man. It was from these that the coming Deliverer would free his people. It was only after the fall of Jerusalem, and the total extinction of the national existence of the people, that, to use Dean Plumptre's language, "what was transitory in the hymn vanished, and the words gained the brighter permanent sense which they have had for centuries in the worship of the Church of Christ."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(71) That we should be saved from our enemies.--Literally, salvation from our enemies, in apposition with "the horn of salvation" of Luke 1:69. The "enemies" present to the thoughts of Zacharias may have been the Roman conquerors of Judaea; the Idumaean House of Herod may have been among "those who hate."
