Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble -This is spoken either in confident expectation of what would be, or as the statement of a general truth that God did deliver him from all trouble. It was what he had experienced in his past life; it was what he confidently expected in all time to come. And mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies -The words “his desire” are not in the original. A literal translation would be, “And on my enemies hath my eye looked.” The meaning is, that they had been overthrown; they had been unsuccessful in their malignant attempts against him; and he had had the satisfaction of “seeing” them thus discomfited.
