Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 118:114
Verse 114. Mv hiding place ] My asylum. And my shield ] There is a time in which I may be called to suffer in secret; then thou hidest me. There may be a time in which thou callest me to fight; then thou art my Shield and Protector.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 113-120 - Here is a dread of the risings of sin, and the first beginnings of it The more we love the law of God, the more watchful we shall be, les vain thoughts draw us from what we love. Would we make progress in keeping God's commands, we must be separate from evil-doers. The believer could not live without the grace of God; but, supported by his hand, his spiritual life shall be maintained. Our holy security is grounded on Divine supports. All departure from God's statutes i error, and will prove fatal. Their cunning is falsehood. There is a da coming which will put the wicked into everlasting fire, the fit plac for the dross. See what comes of sin Surely we who fall so low i devout affections, should fear, lest a promise being left us of entering into heavenly rest, any of us should be found to come short of it, Heb 4:1.
Original Hebrew
סתרי 5643 ומגני 4043 אתה 859 לדברך 1697 יחלתי׃ 3176
