Psalms57:3

3. He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up ; Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

Either, 1. His Angels, as Dan. 3. 28. Or, 2. His help, Or, 3. His hand; which is understood after this Verb, 2 Sam. 6. 6. by Comp. 1 Chron. 13. 9. where it is expressed, Or rather, 4. His Mercy and his Truth, as it here follows where also this Verb is repeated, before those Words.

(i. e.) From that shameful Destruction which they Design to bring upon me. Or rather, as it is rendred, in the Margent of our Bible, and by many others, and as it is in the Hebrew; He hath reproached, (i. e. He will certainly put to Shame or Reproach) him that would swallow me up, by disappointing his Expectation, and delivering me from his Rage. i. e.) Shall discover them by their proper Fruits, to wit, by affording his Gracious help, in pursuance of his Promises.

Marginal references: Or, he Reproacheth him that would swallow me up.; Psal. 40. 11. & 43. 3. & 61. 7.
