(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
Rescue me from cruel and violent enemies, Lord ! 2 They think up evil plans and always cause trouble. 3 Their words bite deep like the poisonous fangs of a snake. 4 Protect me, Lord , from cruel and brutal enemies, who want to destroy me. 5 Those proud people have hidden traps and nets to catch me as I walk. 6 You, Lord , are my God! Please listen to my prayer. 7 You have the power to save me, and you keep me safe in every battle.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation,.... Temporal and spiritual, which he was able to effect; the mighty God and mighty Saviour: and this encouraged David to believe he should have deliverance; and this secured, confirmed, and established it to him; and to which he was the more induced by what experience he had had of the divine goodness to him, as follows:
thou hast covered my head in the day of battle; with the helmet of salvation, as Kimchi, Aben Ezra, and Arama observe; which, in a spiritual sense, is to a believer the hope of salvation, Ephesians 6:17 1 Thessalonians 5:8; a defensive weapon to him; and protects him while he is engaging with his spiritual enemies in this his state of warfare, sin, Satan, and the world. Perhaps David may have respect to the divine protection of him, when he fought with Goliath. Salvation was Christ's helmet, when he engaged with all his and our enemies; even with all the powers of darkness, and obtained deliverance for us, Isaiah 59:16.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
O God the Lord ... - literally, “Yahweh, Lord, the strength of my salvation” The word rendered “God,” in the original, is יהוה Yahweh. The address is to Yahweh as the Lord; that is, as the supreme Ruler - who presides over all things. Him the psalmist acknowledged as “his” Lord and Ruler. The phrase “the strength of my salvation” means the strength or power on which my safety depends. I have no other hope of deliverance but in thee.
Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle - Thou hast been a shield unto me. Literally, “In the day of arms,” or of armor, 1 Kings 10:25; Ezekiel 39:9-10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 140:7. Thou hast covered my head — Not only when I fought with the proud blaspheming Philistine; but in the various attempts made against my life by my sworn enemies.
