Psalm 35:2

2 Prends l'écu et le bouclier, et lève-toi pour me secourir!

Psalm 35:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 35:2

Take hold of shield and buckler
Defensive weapons; not that the Lord stands in need of any of these to defend himself with: but the sense is, that he would be as these to David; as he was to him, and is to all his people; namely, their shield and buckler: he gives unto them the shield of salvation; he encompasses them about with his favour as with a shield, and keeps them by his power safe from all their enemies;

and stand up for mine help;
for which the Lord arises, and stands by his people, and against their enemies, delivering them out of their hands.

Psalm 35:2 In-Context

1 Psaume de David. Éternel, défends-moi contre mes adversaires; combats ceux qui me combattent!

2 Prends l'écu et le bouclier, et lève-toi pour me secourir!

3 Saisis la lance, barre le passage à ceux qui me poursuivent; dis à mon âme: Je suis ton salut.

4 Qu'ils soient honteux et confus, ceux qui en veulent à ma vie; qu'ils reculent et qu'ils rougissent, ceux qui méditent mon malheur!

5 Qu'ils soient comme la paille livrée au vent, et que l'ange de l'Éternel les chasse!
