Notes on this verse:
God will not only judge the world at the last day, and then give sentence for his people against their enemies, but even at present he will give them his protection.
Psalms 46:1 “God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
The word translated refuge (in verse 9 above), means hill front. David found safety from Saul in just such a place. Our safety is in the Lord. He builds a hedge of safety around the true believer. The blood of Jesus is our covering. The entire “Sermon on the Mount”, was for those who are oppressed. In this life there are troubles and trials, but remember, Jesus is our very present help.
