Psalm 3:7 Douay-Rheims

I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

Arise, O Lord--God is figuratively represented as asleep to denote His apparent indifference (Psa 7:6). The use of "cheekbone" and "teeth" represents his enemies as fierce, like wild beasts ready to devour (Psa 27:2), and smiting their cheekbone (Kg1 22:24) denotes violence and insult. thou hast broken--God took his part, utterly depriving the enemy of power to injure.
