Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 3:3

3. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me : my glory , and the lifter up of my head .

Or▪ about me, on every side, where also mine enemies are.

Either, 1. The author of my princely Glory and Majesty. Thou didst first give it, and I doubt not, thou wiltst defend and restore it. Or, 2. The matter of my glorying, thou hast formerly and frequently given, and wil[illegible: 1+ letters]st further give me occasion of glorying or ho[illegible: 1+ letters]sting of thy power and favour to me.

Thou dost and wiltst enable me to look up to thee with comfort and chearfulness, and upon mine Enemies with confidence, and thou wiltst lift me out of the mire in which I now lye, and restore me to my former power and dignity from which I am fallen. For the Phrase see Gen. 4. 7. Iob. 11. 15. Luke 18. 13.
