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 DISPUTA, oh Jehová, con los que contra mí contienden; Pelea con los que me combaten.

2 Echa mano al escudo y al pavés, Y levántate en mi ayuda.

3 Y saca la lanza, cierra contra mis perseguidores; Di á mi alma: Yo soy tu salud.

4 Avergüéncense y confúndanse los que buscan mi alma: Vuelvan atrás, y sean avergonzados los que mi mal intentan.

5 Sean como el tamo delante del viento; Y el ángel de Jehová los acose.
