The psalmist requests that the enemies be driven before God like chaff before the wind, with God's angel pursuing them. The image of chaff suggests the utter insignificance and worthlessness of the enemies when confronted by God's power. The verb 'pursue' suggests that God's angel does not merely deflect but actively drives the enemies away. The metaphor of wind power emphasizes that the enemies' destruction comes not from human force but from divine intervention. This verse suggests that when God acts, the enemies become as insignificant as chaff blown away by wind.
