Psalm 56:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 56:9

When I cry [unto thee]
In prayer;

then shall mine enemies turn back;
great is the strength of prayer; the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much against their enemies: when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel prevailed: the cases of Asa, Jehoshaphat, and Hezekiah, prove it; this David was assured of, and knew it to be true by experience, his prayer being often the prayer of faith in this respect;

this I know: for God [is] for me;
he knew that when he prayed his enemies would flee; because God was on his side, who is greater than they; or by this he knew that God was for him, and was his God, by hearing his prayers, and causing his enemies to turn back: or, however, let things go how they will, this he was assured of, that he had a covenant interest in God, and who would be his God and guide even unto death.

8 Registra, tu mesmo, o meu lamento;recolhe as minhas lágrimas em teu odre;acaso não estão anotadas em teu livro?

9 Os meus inimigos retrocederão,quando eu clamar por socorro.Com isso saberei que Deus está a meu favor.

10 Confio em Deus, cuja palavra louvo,no SENHOR, cuja palavra louvo,

11 em Deus eu confio e não temerei.Que poderá fazer-me o homem?
