詩篇 3:5-6 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 3:6

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people . (On the vast multitude of people that had collected to attack the fugitive king, see the comment on Psalms 3:1 .) David, however, did not fear them. Like Asa ( 2 Chronicles 14:11 ) and Judas Maccabeus (1 Macc. 3:18), he knew that there was no zeal might in ,' the multitude of an host" ( Psalms 33:16 ). God could save equally with many or with few, and against many or against few. That have set themselves against me round about; or, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 3:6

The truth about numbers. We have heard of the vox regis , and in these last days we are threatened with the equally dangerous and delusive vox populi. Let us consider— I. NUMBERS DO NOT DETERMINE THE QUESTION OF RIGHT . There is a tendency with many to shirk responsibility. They look to others. Surely what the many say must be right. But this is folly. God has given us reason and freedom. We must judge for ourselves. Only what we know to be true can be truth to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 3:1-8

:TitleA Psalm of David - literally, belonging to David; that is, belonging to him as the author. This is marked in the Hebrew as the first verse, and so in the Syriac version, the Latin Vulgate, and the Septuagint, making in the Hebrew, and in each of these versions, nine verses in the psalm instead of eight, as in our translation. This may have been prefixed to the psalm by the author himself, for it was not uncommon in ancient times for an author to prefix his name to his own composition, as... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 3:5

I laid me down and slept - Notwithstanding these troubles and dangers I had such confidence that God hears prayer, and such calm trust in his protection, that I laid me down gently and slept securely. The psalmist mentions this as a remarkable proof of the divine protection and favor. He was driven from his capital, his throne, and his home. He was compelled to wander as a poor fugitive, accompanied by only a few friends. He was pursued by enemies, who were numbered by thousands. He was made an... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 3:6

I will not be afraid - As the result of this new proof of the divine protection, and in view of all that God has done and has promised, the psalmist now says that he would not be afraid though any number of foes should rise up against him. Perhaps this confiding and exulting spirit may be regarded in some measure as the “result” of the calm and refreshing slumber which he had enjoyed. The mind as well as the body had been refreshed and invigorated. With the bright light of a new morning he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 3:4-5

Psalms 3:4-5. I cried unto the Lord with my voice By prayer I commended myself to the divine protection; and he heard me out of his holy hill Out of heaven, so called Psalms 15:1. I laid me down and slept Securely, casting all my cares upon God. I awaked As after a sweet and undisturbed sleep, as though no danger had been near me. “It was an argument of settled courage, and shows the unspeakable advantage of a true and genuine confidence in God, that David was able, in such... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 3:6

Psalms 3:6. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Were I beset with as many nations as I see men now encamp themselves on all sides against me, I should not be at all daunted at it. “Faith,” says Dr. Horne, “revived and invigorated by prayer, and fixed on God alone, is a stranger to fear in the worst of times. The innumerable examples of saints rescued from tribulation, and, above all, the resurrection of the Son of God from the dead, render the believer bold as a lion, although... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 3:1-8

Psalms 3 -4 Morning and evening psalmsThe title that introduces Psalms 3:0 indicates that David wrote the psalm after his son Absalom rose up in rebellion against him and seized the throne of Israel (2 Samuel 15:1-17:29). In much distress David fled Jerusalem, but he still trusted in God.Absalom’s rebellion appears to be so successful that many people think David has no chance of escape. He seems to have little hope of saving his life (3:1-2). But David’s faith in God is unshakable. He lies... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 3:5

"I laid me down and slept;I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people.That have set themselves against me round about."This mention of lying down to sleep and awakening are the basis for naming this Psalm "A Morning Prayer." This appears to me to be a rather insufficient grounds for such a name; but still we do not object to it. It has been used as a morning reading by countless people in all ages."They have set themselves against me." "According to... read more
