John Trapp on Psalms 54:4

Verſ. 4. Behold, God is mine helper] And that mine enemies might have ſeen, had they ſet God before them. The Dutch have a proverb, where God hath a mind to deſtroy a man, he firſt putteth out his eyes.

The Lord is with them that uphold my ſoul] That favour my righteous cauſe and wiſh my wel-fare, as doth Jonathan, and the reſt that fear God; who although they be but few and feeble in compariſon, yet they have God with them, and for them, (non interfuit modo, ſed etiam praefuit) and how many do you reckon him for? as Antigonus once ſaid. David was invironed, and in great danger to be ſurprized; but God reſcued him by an invaſion of the Philiſtines, 1 Sam. 23.27, 28. The Lord knoweth how to deliver his, 2 Pet. 2. R. Moſes expoundeth it, God is loco omnium, & ſuper omnes, in ſtead of all, and above all.
