Psalm 35:3-6

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Psalms 35:3

DISCOURSE: 555THE SINNER’S HOPEPsalms 35:3. Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.SUSPENSE is extremely painful to the human mind, and the more so in proportion to the danger to which we are exposed. David experienced this in a very high degree. In the psalm before us he appears to have been greatly agitated with fear on account of the number and malignity of the enemies who sought his ruin, and were exulting in the expectation of his speedy fall. Seeing no hope for himself in the efforts of his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:1-25

Psalms 35:1-28 Psalms 35:1-28 :Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, stand up for my help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt ( Psalms 35:1-4 ).So this is one of those psalms where David is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 35:1-28

Psalms 35:1 . Fight against them. This is another martial ode, or war song, in which David prays for victory over the army of Saul that came to fight against him, and for confusion to those about the king who daily slandered him. Thus we also pray against enemies. REFLECTIONS. The argument to this psalm, as in Psalms 26:0., is an invocation to God against the injustice of Saul and his court, who long pursued David with the sword. Under slander and implicated wrongs he appeals to that bar... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 35:3

Psa 35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation. Ver. 3. Draw out also the spear ] viz. That thy contending and appearing for me may appear to be sufficient and glorious. And stop the way ] Heb. And stop, viz. the doors, as Genesis 19:6 ; Gen 19:10 2 Kings 6:32 , lest the malcontents come in and kill me. Or, shut me up from my persecutors, that they find me not; like as, afterwards, God hid Jeremiah and Baruch, when... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 35:4

Psa 35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Ver. 4. Let them be confounded and put to shame ] Here David beginneth his imprecations; which yet non maledicens dixit sed vaticinantis more praedixit, saith Theodoret, he doth not utter as cursing, but as prophesying rather. If we shall at any time take upon us thus to imprecate (as we may in some cases), we must see to it, first, that our cause be... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 35:5

Psa 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them]. Ver. 5. Let them be as chaff ] Facti sint a corde suo fugitivi, let them fly before their own consciences, restless and uncertain whither to turn themselves. And let the angel of the Lord chase them ] It may be understood both of the evil angels and of the good, ready at God’s command to do execution upon his enemies. Chaff driven before the wind may rest against a wall; but where shall they rest who... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 35:6

Psa 35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. Ver. 6. Let their way be dark and slippery ] Heb. Darkness and slipperiness. If a man have neither light nor firm footing, and a fierce enemy at his heels, what shift can he make for himself? The word rendered slippery is of a double form (like that libbi secharchar, my heart panteth or beateth about, throbbeth, Psa 38:10 ), to increase the signfication. See Jeremiah 23:12 . The soul of a wicked man is... read more
