Notes on verse:
When by faith I have recourse to thee, I see all the reason in the world to be easy, and to think myself out of the reach of any real evil.
“Thou shalt preserve me from trouble”: As I was while I kept silence, and did not confess my sins, and pray for forgiveness (Psalm 32:3). If, when God has pardoned our sins, he was to leave us to ourselves, we should soon relapse back into sin, and contract fresh guilt. And thereby plunge ourselves again into the same gulf of distress and misery. Therefore, when we have received the comfort of our remission, we must have recourse to the grace of God to be preserved from returning to folly again. And having our hearts again hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. God keeps his people from trouble, by keeping them from sin.
“Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance”: With such great deliverances on all sides as will give just occasion to sing thy praise. And my friends, also, shall compass me about in the great congregation, to join with me in songs of praise. They shall join their songs of deliverance with mine.
“Selah” (on this word; see note on Psalm 3:2).
Notice, in the next verse that Christians are hid in Him.
Colossians 3:3 “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
God heard the cry of the Israelites in Egypt and sent Moses to deliver them. Egypt symbolizes the world. God sent us a Deliverer, and His name was Jesus. The Lord is my very special place of hiding. Notice that David uses the word my, and me. Salvation is an individual thing.
