Psalms 35:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 35:2

Take hold of shield and buckler
Defensive weapons; not that the Lord stands in need of any of these to defend himself with: but the sense is, that he would be as these to David; as he was to him, and is to all his people; namely, their shield and buckler: he gives unto them the shield of salvation; he encompasses them about with his favour as with a shield, and keeps them by his power safe from all their enemies;

and stand up for mine help;
for which the Lord arises, and stands by his people, and against their enemies, delivering them out of their hands.

Psalms 35:2 In-Context

1 Oppose my opponents, Lord; fight those who fight me.

2 Take Your shields-large and small- and come to my aid.

3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers, and assure me: "I am your deliverance."

4 Let those who seek to kill me be disgraced and humiliated; let those who plan to harm me be turned back and ashamed.

5 Let them be like husks in the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away.
