David, complaining to God of former judgment4. now upon better hope, prays for deliverance 6. Comforting himself in God's promises, he craves that help whereon he trusts Who will bring me This phrase reflects a deep reliance on divine guidance and intervention. The Hebrew root for "bring" is "yāḇō," which implies a sense of leading or carrying. In the context of ancient Israel, this question underscores the necessity of God's leadership in overcoming challenges. It is a rhetorical question that emphasizes the psalmist's dependence on God to achieve victory. Historically, Israel often faced formidable enemies and needed divine assistance to succeed in battle. to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? The strong city.--As in the Hebrew the article is wanting, any strongly fortified city might be intended, were it not for the parallelism. Here it must stand for Selah or Petra, the capital of Edom. For its impregnable position (see Note Obadiah 1:3). The question, "Who will lead me into Petra?" is explained by the fact that there are only two possible approaches to the city, each a long narrow tortuous defile, and that the place itself is so buried in its ravines that it cannot be seen from any spot in its neighbourhood far or near. Verse 9-12. - Rehearsal of God's promises has raised the psalmist out of despondency, and he can now confidently call God to his assistance. Edom is to be conquered, for so God has premised (ver. 8). But how? Who will lead out Israel's armies? Will God, who has lately "cast Israel off"? If not, it must he man. But "vain is the help of man" (ver. 11). So the call is made that God will give help in the trouble - and with the call comes full confidence - and the triumphant cry goes forth, "Through God we shall do valiantly; for he it is that shall tread down our enemies" (ver. 12). Verse 9. - Who will bring me into the strong city? The "strong city" of Edom was Sela, "The Cliff" - now Petra. And it was a city of enormous strength, rock hewn in the main, and guarded by frightful precipices. Who will conduct me through its strong natural and artificial defences, and give me possession of the place? Who will lead me into Edom? Who will even bring me into the country? The Edomites, flushed with their recent victory, will, of course, dispute my entrance. Who will enable me to overcome their resistance?Parallel Commentaries ...
