Salmos 3

Salmos 3

Benson - Thou wilt restore me (cf NET = "the one who restores me.") to my former power and dignity. Thus David, in the midst of his dangers and distress, quiets his mind by calling to remembrance the power, and love, and faithfulness of God, and trusting in him. Reader, go thou, and do likewise, in all thy perplexities and troubles. NET Note - Hebrew "[the one who] lifts my head." This phrase could be understood to refer to a general strengthening of the psalmist by God during difficult circumstances. However, if one takes the suggestion (ED: I THINK IT MORE THAN A SUGGESTION!) of the superscription that this is a Davidic psalm written during the revolt of Absalom, the phrase "lift the head" could refer to the psalmist's desire for restoration to his former position (cf. Ge 40:13 where the same phrase is used). Like the Hebrew text, the present translation ("who restores me") can be understood in either sense.
