Psalm 3:2
“Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 3Meaning
The verse completes the opening complaint. The taunt is not merely social humiliation; it attempts to define God’s relation to the sufferer before the confession of verse 3 answers it.
Multiplying enemies and the denial of divine help
Names the growing threat and records the enemies’ theological taunt that God will not save the speaker.
Read carefully
The sentence is spoken by the enemies, and the following verses explicitly contradict their verdict.
Reflection
Do not let hostile observers become the final interpreters of God’s faithfulness; carry the accusation into prayer and test it against God’s character.
