Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 3:2

Theological / Devotional

Soul. Heb. nephesh, here, as frequently in the psalms, an idiom for the personal pronoun. “Which say of my soul” is equivalent to saying “which say of me.”

No help for him. So desperate is David’s condition that his enemies present the situation as beyond the help of God (see Ps. 71:10, 11).

Selah. See p. 629. In this psalm “Selah” appears to mark a division between stanzas.
