Contextual Overview
1 [A Psalm] of David. Strive, O Yahweh, with those that strive with me: Fight against those that fight against me. 2 Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help. 3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against those that pursue me: Say to my soul, I am your salvation. 4 Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul: Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt. 5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of Yahweh driving [them] on. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of Yahweh pursuing them. 7 For without cause they have hid for me the pit of their net; Without cause they have dug [it] for my soul. 8 Let destruction come on him unawares; And let his net that he has hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein. 9 And my soul shall be joyful in Yahweh: It shall rejoice in his salvation. 10 All my bones shall say, Yahweh, who is like you, Who delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him that robs him?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take hold of shield and buckler,.... Defensive weapons; not that the Lord stands in need of any of these to defend himself with: but the sense is, that he would be as these to David; as he was to him, and is to all his people; namely, their shield and buckler: he gives unto them the shield of salvation; he encompasses them about with his favour as with a shield, and keeps them by his power safe from all their enemies;
and stand up for mine help; for which the Lord arises, and stands by his people, and against their enemies, delivering them out of their hands.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Take hold of shield and buckler - That is, Arm thyself as if for the contest. It is a prayer, in a new form, that God would interpose, and that he would go forth as a warrior against the enemies of the psalmist. On the word âshield,â see the notes at Psalms 5:12. Compare the notes at Ephesians 6:16. On the word âbuckler,â see the notes at Psalms 18:2. These terms are derived from the armor of a warrior, and the prayer here is that God would appear in that character for his defense.
And stand up for my help - As a warrior stands up, or stands firm, to arrest the attack of an enemy.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 35:2. Take hold of shield and buckler — Let them be discomfited in battle who are striving to destroy my life. It is by the shield and buckler of others, not any of his own, that God overthrows the enemies of his people. This is spoken merely after the manner of men.
