Psalms 3 Study & Commentary
Psalm 3 is a morning prayer of trust in God during a time of rebellion. David, fleeing from Absalom, declares that God is a shield for him and the lifter of his head, despite the thousands set against him.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Peace in Crisis: David could sleep and wake in peace because the Lord sustained him (v. 5). True rest is possible even in the midst of danger.2. God as our Glory: God is the "lifter up of mine head" (v. 3). When the world tries to shame us, God restores our dignity and confidence.
3. Salvation Belongeth unto the Lord: Victory does not depend on our numbers or strength, but on God’s blessing upon His people.
