Salmi 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.

Salmi 35:2 In-Context

1 Di Davide. O Eterno, contendi con quelli che contendono meco, combatti con quelli che combattono meco.

2 Prendi lo scudo e la targa e lèvati in mio aiuto.

3 Tira fuori la lancia e chiudi il passo ai miei persecutori; di’ all’anima mia: Io son la tua salvezza.

4 Sian confusi e svergognati quelli che cercano l’anima mia; voltin le spalle e arrossiscano quei che macchinano la mia rovina.

5 Sian come pula al vento e l’angelo dell’Eterno li scacci.
