Salmos 18:3

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 Yo te amo, SEÑOR, fortaleza mía.

2 El SEÑOR es mi roca, mi baluarte y mi libertador; mi Dios, mi roca en quien me refugio; mi escudo y el cuerno de mi salvación, mi altura inexpugnable.

3 Invoco al SEÑOR, que es digno de ser alabado, y soy salvo de mis enemigos.

4 Los lazos de la muerte me cercaron, y los torrentes de iniquidad me atemorizaron;

5 los lazos del Seol me rodearon; las redes de la muerte surgieron ante mí.
