Psalm 56:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 56:3

What time I am afraid
It was a time of fear with him now; he was afraid of Achish king of Gath, ( 1 Samuel 21:12 ) ; so believers have their times of fear; about their interest in the love, and grace, and covenant of God; about their sins and corruptions, and the prevalence of them, fearing they shall perish by them; and about their enemies, who are many, lively, and strong;

I will trust in thee;
trust and confidence in the Lord is the best antidote against fears; who is unchangeable in his love, in whom is everlasting strength, and who is faithful and true to every word of promise; and therefore there is great reason to trust in him, and not be afraid.

Psalm 56:3 In-Context

1 Dem Vorsänger, nach: "Die Taube der fernen Terebinthen". Von David, ein Gedicht, als die Philister ihn zu Gath ergriffen. Sei mir gnädig, o Gott! Denn es schnaubt nach mir der Mensch; den ganzen Tag mich befehdend, bedrückt er mich.
2 Es schnauben meine Feinde den ganzen Tag; denn viele befehden mich in Hochmut.
3 An dem Tage, da ich mich fürchte, vertraue ich auf dich.
4 In Gott werde ich rühmen sein Wort; auf Gott vertraue ich, ich werde mich nicht fürchten; was sollte das Fleisch mir tun?
5 Meine Worte verdrehen sie den ganzen Tag, alle ihre Gedanken sind wider mich zum Bösen.
