Psalms 27:3

27:3 Even when an army is deployed against me,

I do not fear.

Even when war is imminent,

I remain confident.

Psalms 76:3

76:3 There he shattered the arrows,

the shield, the sword, and the rest of the weapons of war. (Selah)


tn Heb “my heart does not fear.”

tn Heb “if war rises up against me.”

tn Heb “in this [i.e., “during this situation”] I am trusting.”

tn Heb “flames of the bow,” i.e., arrows.

tn Heb “shield and sword and battle.” “Battle” probably here stands by metonymy for the weapons of war in general.

sn This verse may allude to the miraculous defeat of the Assyrians in 701 b.c. (see Isa 36-37).
