Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon thy people. Selah.
Psalms 3:8 — KJV
Unto the Lord. The psalmist makes no claim that he can save himself. To the enemy who mockingly asserts, “There is no help for him in God,” David replies, in effect, “To God alone belongs my help, at all times and under all circumstances.”
Upon thy people. In his magnanimity David turns his thoughts away from himself and his own peril to the condition of his people, his nation, not only those who had remained faithful to him, but those who had revolted. What a sublime ending to a hymn of trust!
