SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:7
Levántate, SEÑOR; sálvame, Dios mío; porque tú heriste a todos mis enemigos en la quijada; los dientes de los malos quebraste.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 3:7
Verse 7. Arise, O Lord ] Though he knew that God had undertaken his defense, yet he knew that his continued protection depended on his continual prayer and faith. God never ceases to help as long as we pray. When our hands hang down, and we restrain prayer before him, we may then justly fear that our enemies will prevail.
Those blast smitten ] That is, Thou wilt smite. He speaks in full confidence of God's interference; and knows as surely that he shall have the victory, as if he had it already. Breaking the jaws and the teeth are expressions which imply, confounding and destroying an adversary; treating him with extreme contempt; using him like a dog, &c.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-8 - Care and grief do us good, when they engage us to pray to God, as in earnest. David had always found God ready to answer his prayers Nothing can fix a gulf between the communications of God's grac towards us, and the working of his grace in us; between his favour an our faith. He had always been very safe under the Divine protection This is applicable to the common mercies of every night, for which we ought to give thanks every morning. Many lie down, and cannot sleep through pain of body, or anguish of mind, or the continual alarms of fear in the night. But it seems here rather to be meant of the calmnes of David's spirit, in the midst of his dangers. The Lord, by his grac and the consolations of his Spirit, made him easy. It is a great mercy when we are in trouble, to have our minds stayed upon God. Behold the Son of David composing himself to his rest upon the cross, that bed of sorrows; commending his Spirit into the Father's hands in ful confidence of a joyful resurrection. Behold this, O Christian: le faith teach thee how to sleep, and how to die; while it assures the that as sleep is a short death, so death is only a longer sleep; the same God watches over thee, in thy bed and in thy grave. David's fait became triumphant. He began the psalm with complaints of the strengt and malice of his enemies; but concludes with rejoicing in the powe and grace of his God, and now sees more with him than against him Salvation belongeth unto the Lord; he has power to save, be the dange ever so great. All that have the Lord for their God, are sure of salvation; for he who is their God, is the God of Salvation __________________________________________________________________
