Salmos 18:3

3 Invocaré á Jehová, digno de ser alabado, Y seré salvo de mis enemigos.

Salmos 18:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:3

I will call upon the Lord
In prayer, for fresh mercies, and further appearances of himself, and discoveries of his grace and favour;

[who is worthy] to be praised;
for the perfections of his nature, the works of his hands, his providential goodness, and more especially for his covenant grace and blessings in Christ. The Targum is,

``in praise, or with an hymn, I pray before the Lord;''

agreeably to the rule the apostle gives, ( Philippians 4:6 ) ; and this prayer was a prayer of faith, as follows;

so shall I be saved from mine enemies:
which was founded upon past experience of God's goodness to him in distress, when he called upon him, as the next words show.

Salmos 18:3 In-Context

1 AMARTE he, oh Jehová, fortaleza mía.

2 Jehová, roca mía y castillo mío, y mi libertador; Dios mío, fuerte mío, en él confiaré; Escudo mío, y el cuerno de mi salud, mi refugio.

3 Invocaré á Jehová, digno de ser alabado, Y seré salvo de mis enemigos.

4 Cercáronme dolores de muerte, Y torrentes de perversidad me atemorizaron.

5 Dolores del sepulcro me rodearon, Previniéronme lazos de muerte.
