Psalms 118:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 118:5

3 Let the house of Aaron now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”

4 Let those who fear the Lord now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”

5 ^aI called on the Lord in distress;
The Lord answered me and ^bset me in a broad place.

6 ^aThe Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?

7 ^aThe Lord is for me among those who help me;
Therefore ^bI shall see my desire on those who hate me.

8 ^aIt is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man.

9 ^aIt is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes.

10 All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

11 They ^asurrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
