This probably refers to all the Israelites who are weak and defenseless.
13:7 The sword is personified as a warrior being called to awake in battle, heightening its image as God’s servant, an instrument of death (see Isa 31:8; 34:6; 66:16).
• My shepherd signifies the Messiah, the coming leader of Israel (see Ezek 34:23; 37:24).
• My partner conveys the equality of the shepherd with God (see Matt 26:31; Mark 14:27).
