hide text
53:4 David expressed amazement that those who disregard God would take advantage of His chosen people and would not even pray to Him.
53:4 The psalmist may have had some specific instance of God's deliverance in mind, or he may have spoken of His future judgment as having already taken place because of its certainty. God Himself would terrorize and shame His enemies. Evidently David saw God's people as playing some role in their enemies' defeat.
