Ps 3:1
3:1 <>
    LORD, how are they {a} increased that trouble me! many [are]
    they that rise up against me.

    (a) This was a token of his stable faith, that for all his
        troubles he turned to God.

Ps 3:2
3:2 Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for
    him in God. {b} Selah.

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

Ps 3:6
3:6 I will not be afraid of (c) ten thousands of people, that
    have set [themselves] against me round about.

    (c) When he considered the truth of God's promise, and tried
        the same, his faith increased marvellously.

Ps 3:8
3:8 {d} Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is]
    upon thy people. Selah.

    (d) No matter how great or many the dangers may be, yet
        God always has ways to deliver his.
