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 Ein gülden Kleinod Davids, von der stummen Taube unter den Fremden, da ihn die Philister griffen zu Gath. Gott, sei mir gnädig, denn Menschen schnauben wider mich; täglich streiten sie und ängsten mich.
2 Meine Feinde schnauben täglich; denn viele streiten stolz wider mich.
3 Wenn ich mich fürchte, so hoffe ich auf dich.
4 Ich will Gottes Namen rühmen; auf Gott will ich hoffen und mich nicht fürchten; was sollte mir Fleisch tun?
5 Täglich fechten sie meine Worte an; all ihre Gedanken sind, daß sie mir Übel tun.
