7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
7 Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.
7 O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
7 God, my Lord, Strong Savior, protect me when the fighting breaks out!
7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.
7 OÂ Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 140:7
Commentary on Psalm 140:1-7
(Read Psalm 140:1-7)
The more danger appears, the more earnest we should be in prayer to God. All are safe whom the Lord protects. If he be for us, who can be against us? We should especially watch and pray, that the Lord would hold up our goings in his ways, that our footsteps slip not. God is as able to keep his people from secret fraud as from open force; and the experience we have had of his power and care, in dangers of one kind, may encourage us to depend upon him in other dangers.
