7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
7 You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
7 For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
7 You got me out of every scrape, and I saw my enemies get it.
7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.
7 For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 54:7
Commentary on Psalm 54:4-7
(Read Psalm 54:4-7)
Behold, God is mine Helper. If we are for him, he is for us; and if he is for us, we need not fear. Every creature is that to us, and no more, which God makes it to be. The Lord will in due time save his people, and in the mean time he sustains them, and bears them up, so that the spirit he has made shall not fail. There is truth in God's threatenings, as well as in his promises; sinners that repent not, will find it so to their cost. David's present deliverance was an earnest of further deliverance. He speaks of the completion of his deliverance as a thing done, though he had as yet many troubles before him; because, having God's promise for it, he was as sure of it as if it was done already. The Lord would deliver him out of all his troubles. May he help us to bear our cross without repining, and at length bring us to share his victories and glory. Christians never should suffer the voice of praise and thanksgiving to cease in the church of the redeemed.
