Contextual Overview
6 Though I do speak, unassuaged is my stinging pain, - And, if I forbear, of what am I relieved? 7 But, now, hath he wearied me, thou hast destroyed all my family; 8 And, having captured me, it hath served, as a witness; and so my wasting away hath risen up against me, in my face, it answereth. 9 His anger, hath torn and persecuted me, He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth, Mine adversary, hath sharpened his eyes for me. 10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth, With reproach, have they smitten my cheek, Together, against me, have they closed their ranks. 11 GOD doth abandon me to him that is perverse, and, into the hands of the lawless, he throweth me headlong. 12 At ease, was I when he shattered me, Yea he seized me by my neck, and dashed me in pieces, then set me up for himself as a mark: 13 His archers came round against me, He clave asunder my reins, and spared not, He poured out, on the earth, my gall: 14 He made a breach in me, breach upon breach, He ran upon me, like a mighty man. 15 Sackcloth, sewed I on my skin, and rolled - in the dust - my horn:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He breaketh me with breach upon breach,.... Upon his substance, his family, and the health of his body, which came thick and fast, one after another; referring to the report of those things brought by one messenger upon the back of another, see Ezekiel 7:26;
he runneth upon me like a giant; with great fury and fierceness, with great strength and courage, with great speed and swiftness, causing great terror and distress; he not being able to resist him, any more than a dwarf a giant, and no more, nor so much, a match for him; see
Isaiah 42:13.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He breaketh me - He crushes me.
With breach upon breach - He renews and repeats the attack, and thus completely overwhelms me. One blow follows another in such quick succession, that he does not give me time to recover.
He runneth upon me like a giant - With great and irresistible force - as some strong and mighty warrior whom his adversary cannot resist. The Hebrew is גבור gı̂bbôr - “a mighty one.” Septuagint, “The mighty - δυνάμενοι dunamenoi - run upon me.” Vulgate, “gigas” - a giant.
