Psalms 3:6

“I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people, etc.] David was a man of courage from his youth; the instances of his attacking the lion and the bear, when he kept his father’s sheep, his engaging with Goliath, and his military exploits, show it; and though there were now many thousands up in arms against him, and his own son at the head of them; all the tribes of Israel were revolting from him, and he was only attended with a few of his friends, yet he was not dismayed; for that he refers to this insurrection appears by what follows, that have set [themselves] against me round about; and this was owing not to himself; but to the Lord’s sustaining of him; (see <192701>Psalm 27:1-3); and…”
