Psalm 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.

Psalm 35:2 In-Context

1 Contende, Senhor, com aqueles que contendem comigo; combate contra os que me combatem.

2 Pega do escudo e do pavês, e levanta-te em meu socorro.

3 Tira da lança e do dardo contra os que me perseguem. Dize � minha alma: Eu sou a tua salvação.

4 Sejam envergonhados e confundidos os que buscam a minha vida; voltem atrás e se confudam os que contra mim intentam o mal.

5 Sejam como a moinha diante do vento, e o anjo do Senhor os faça fugir.
