Psalms 118:13 - Exposition

Thou hast thrust lore at me that I might fall ; rather, thou didst thrust (Revised Version). The psalmist recalls the past, and throws himself, as it were, once more into the midst of the struggle. Thou—mine enemy, Babylon—didst make s desperate onset upon me, fully intending my destruction. But the Lord helped me . Frustrated thy purpose—preserved the life, the national life, which thou aimedst at destroying, and so did most effectually "help me."
