Psalms 7:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Lest he, i.e. mine enemy, as it is expressed, Psalms 7:4, even Saul, or any of his followers, tear my soul out of my body; or destroy me and my life, as Psalms 6:5. Like a lion; to which he compares him both for power and cruelty, and withal intimates his own inability to oppose or escape his rage without God's almighty help. While there is none to deliver; whilst I have no considerable force to defend myself, but am forced to flee to mountains, and caves, and woods for my safety.

Psalms 7:2

2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
