Psalm 54:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 54:7

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble
As he desired, ( 1 Samuel 26:24 ) ; that is, out of all his present trouble; not that he had no more afterwards; for as soon as one trouble is gone, generally speaking, another comes; but as God delivered him out of his present distress, so he believed he would deliver him out of all his afflictions in future times;

and mine eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies:
or revenge, as the Targum supplies it; not that he delighted in the destruction of his enemies, but in the justice of God glorified thereby, and in the goodness of God to him, in delivering him from them; see ( Revelation 18:20 ) .

Psalm 54:7 In-Context

5 Er wird das Böse zurückerstatten meinen Feinden; nach deiner Wahrheit vertilge sie!
6 Opfern will ich dir mit Freiwilligkeit; deinen Namen will ich preisen, Jehova, denn er ist gut.
7 Denn aus aller Bedrängnis hat er mich errettet; und mein Auge hat seine Lust gesehen an meinen Feinden.
