Psalms 3:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. Salvation belongeth unto the Lord - It is God alone who saves. He is the fountain whence help and salvation come; and to him alone the praise of all saved souls is due. His blessing is upon his people. Those who are saved from the power and the guilt of sin are his people. His mercy saved them; and it is by his blessing being continually upon them, that they continue to be saved. David adds his selah here also: mark this!

1. Salvation comes from God.

2. Salvation is continued by God.

These are great truths; mark them!
