Psalm 18:41

41 Ils crient, et personne pour les sauver! Ils crient à l'Eternel, et il ne leur répond pas!

Psalm 18:41 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 18:41

They cried, but [there was] none to save [them]
It is in ( 2 Samuel 22:42 ) ; "they looked"; that is, they looked round about, here and there, to see if there were any near at hand to help and deliver them; they cried in their distress, and because of the anguish of their spirits, and for help and assistance, but in vain; they cried, as Jarchi thinks, to their idols, as Jonah's mariners cried everyone to their god; and, if so, it is no wonder there was none to save; for such are gods that cannot save: but it follows,

[even] unto the Lord, but he answered them not;
as Saul, for instance, ( 1 Samuel 28:6 ) ; so God deals with wicked men, often by way of righteous retaliation; see ( Proverbs 1:28 ) ( Zechariah 7:13 ) .

Psalm 18:41 In-Context

39 Tu me ceins de force pour le combat, Tu fais plier sous moi mes adversaires.

40 Tu fais tourner le dos à mes ennemis devant moi, Et j'extermine ceux qui me haïssent.

41 Ils crient, et personne pour les sauver! Ils crient à l'Eternel, et il ne leur répond pas!

42 Je les broie comme la poussière qu'emporte le vent, Je les foule comme la boue des rues.

43 Tu me délivres des dissensions du peuple; Tu me mets à la tête des nations; Un peuple que je ne connaissais pas m'est asservi.
