"# Psalm 3 General Notes
Purpose: to pray for salvation from enemies.Content: Yahweh, save me! My enemies are many, but you are my defense.Message: “Salvation is of Yahweh” (3:8)
- verse 1–2 Foes “rising” against psalmist- verse 3–4 Trust expressed to Yahweh (on his holy hill, see Psalm 2:6)- verses 5–6 Trust in Yahweh proclaimed- verses 7–8 Help petitioned from Yahweh (“rising” and saving refer back to verse 1–2)See 2 Samuel 15–18 for the story of David fleeing from Absalom.
- The psalm divides into four sections that are nearly the same length (14 words / 14 words / 14 words / 15 words).- “Rising” and “salvation” are repeated between verses 2–3 and verses 8–9 in a negative and then positive way. This emphasizes that the author’s problems have been completely solved by Yahweh.- The second and third sections share similar beginnings; both begin with an independent personal pronoun (verse 3a: ""you;"" verse 5a: ""I""). ""You"" (=Yahweh) is the topic of the second section (verses 3–4), and ""I"" (=David) is the topic of the third section (verses 5–6).- The first section (verses 1–2) and the two middle sections (verses 3–6) are connected by the ideas of “many/multitudes ... against me.”
- Yahweh is pictured as a shield.- Safety is pictured as sleeping.- Yahweh’s salvation from enemies is pictured in violent graphic language.- Wicked people’s power is represented by their teeth.
- Selah: This psalm contains the first instances of the Hebrew word Selah. Refer to the introduction to Psalms for more information.- Superscriptions : This psalm is the first instance which starts with an superscription. Refer to the introduction to Psalms for more information."
