Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Saved from our enemies - The enemies of "man" are his sins, his carnal propensities, his lusts, and the great adversary Satan and his angels, who continually seek to destroy him. From "these" the Messiah came to save us. Compare Gen 3:15; Mat 1:21.

The hand - The power; or to save us from them.
