O my God, I trust in thee
He claims his interest in God, and expresses his faith and
confidence in him, in the midst of all his troubles; (See Gill
on Psalms
7:1);
let me not be ashamed;
meaning of his trust in God, by being disappointed of the help,
deliverance, and salvation from him, which he trusted in him for;
and the believer, as he has no reason to be ashamed of God, the
object of his trust; so neither of the act of his hope or trust
in him; nor shall he; for hope makes not ashamed; see ( Psalms
119:116 ) ( Romans 5:5 ) ;
let not mine enemies triumph over me;
either his temporal enemies, his subjects that were risen up
against him; or his spiritual enemies, Satan, and the men of the
world, who rejoice and triumph when the saints are forsaken by
God; and they are ready to say, as David's enemies did of him,
there is no help or salvation for him in God, ( Psalms 3:2 ) ; and when
they fall into their hands, or fall by them.
