The 1599 Geneva Bible:

And the powers that be, are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God.

In General:

Matthew Poole (c. 1679):

[Synopsis criticorum aliorumque Sacrae Scripturae interpretum]

Wherefore], (He concludeth from the foregoing: Because powers are from God, and ordained by Him) he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God], That is, whosoever opposeth, etc., by force, namely, as God opposeth the wicked, Proverbs 3:34, James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5. The Syriac here hath he who riseth against, not ill. For the Apostle regardeth the faction of Judas the Galilean and his sect, whose examples many Jews were soon to follow, against the express prohibition of Christ, no less disastrously than Galba, Otho, and Vitellius in the Roman Empire. And note that it is said here, Let no man oppose Princes with force. The verb hath a passive form, but a reciprocal sense. It is a military term, whereby the utmost force of soldiers fighting against is declared; properly, it is to be counter-ordained: for rebels, as it were, set themselves against the Divine order, and wage war with God.
