Psalm 18:41 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:41

They cried, but [there was] none to save [them]
It is in ( 2 Samuel 22:42 ) ; "they looked"; that is, they looked round about, here and there, to see if there were any near at hand to help and deliver them; they cried in their distress, and because of the anguish of their spirits, and for help and assistance, but in vain; they cried, as Jarchi thinks, to their idols, as Jonah's mariners cried everyone to their god; and, if so, it is no wonder there was none to save; for such are gods that cannot save: but it follows,

[even] unto the Lord, but he answered them not;
as Saul, for instance, ( 1 Samuel 28:6 ) ; so God deals with wicked men, often by way of righteous retaliation; see ( Proverbs 1:28 ) ( Zechariah 7:13 ) .

Psalm 18:41 In-Context

39 Pois me cinges de força para a peleja; prostras debaixo de mim aqueles que contra mim se levantam.

40 Fazes também que os meus inimigos me dêem as costas; aos que me odeiam eu os destruo.

41 Clamam, porém não há libertador; clamam ao Senhor, mas ele não lhes responde.

42 Então os esmiúço como o pó diante do vento; lanço-os fora como a lama das ruas.

43 Livras-me das contendas do povo, e me fazes cabeça das nações; um povo que eu não conhecia se me sujeita.
