Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker claims that someone's protection comes from the Prince of Darkness. The grand supernatural explanation gives the person's apparent security a sinister source. The phrase from up on high adds a striking contrast, borrowing the language of elevated authority for a claim about dark patronage.
