Psalms 3:2
_ _ say of my soul — that is, “of me” (compare Psalms 25:3). This use of “soul” is common; perhaps it arose from regarding the soul as man’s chief part.
_ _ no help ... in God — rejected by Him. This is the bitterest reproach for a pious man, and denotes a spirit of malignant triumph.
_ _ Selah — This word is of very obscure meaning. It probably denotes rest or pause, both as to the music and singing, intimating something emphatic in the sentiment (compare Psalms 9:16). |
Psalms 3:2
My soul — Of me: the soul being commonly put for the person. In God — God hath utterly forsaken him. Selah — This word is no where used but in this poetical book, and in the song of Habakkuk. Probably it was a musical note, directing the singer either to lift up his voice, to make a pause, or to lengthen the tune. But withal, it is generally placed at some remarkable passage; which gives occasion to think that it served also to quicken the attention of the singer and hearer. |

(b) Selah here signifies a lifting up of the voice, to cause us to consider the sentence as a thing of great importance. |
