Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 3:8

8. Salvation belongeth unto the LORD : thy blessing is upon thy people . Selah.

I expect not salvation from my forces, but from thy power and favour alone.

Or rather, let it be. So he closeth with a prayer.

Either upon my friends and followers, who alone are thy people, the rest being Rebels to thee as well as to me. Or, upon all thy people Israel, to preserve my friends, to convince and convert mine enemies, and to save the body of the Nation, which without thy mercy are likely by this civil War to be brought to utter ruine.
