Psalm 9:3
“When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 9Meaning
Within this movement of Psalm 9, the retreat of enemies is narrated as occurring before God’s presence and judgment.
Judgment on oppressive power
Within this movement of Psalm 9, verses 3–6 develop this movement before the next transition.
Read carefully
the retreat of enemies is narrated as occurring before God’s presence and judgment; the verse must remain inside the argument of Psalm 9:3–6.
Reflection
Let this verse shape prayer, truthful action, and patient trust rather than impulsive retaliation.
