Salmos 56:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 56:9

When I cry [unto thee]
In prayer;

then shall mine enemies turn back;
great is the strength of prayer; the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much against their enemies: when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed: the cases of Asa, Jehoshaphat, and Hezekiah, prove it; this David was assured of, and knew it to be true by experience, his prayer being often the prayer of faith in this respect;

this I know: for God [is] for me;
he knew that when he prayed his enemies would flee; because God was on his side, who is greater than they; or by this he knew that God was for him, and was his God, by hearing his prayers, and causing his enemies to turn back: or, however, let things go how they will, this he was assured of, that he had a covenant interest in God, and who would be his God and guide even unto death.

Salmos 56:9 In-Context

7 Escaparão eles por meio da sua iniqüidade? Ó Deus, derruba os povos na tua ira!

8 Tu contaste as minhas aflições; põe as minhas lágrimas no teu odre; não estão elas no teu livro?

9 No dia em que eu te invocar retrocederão os meus inimigos; isto eu sei, que Deus está comigo.

10 Em Deus, cuja palavra eu louvo, no Senhor, cuja palavra eu louvo,

11 em Deus ponho a minha confiança, e não terei medo; que me pode fazer o homem?
