Contextual Overview

1

To the director: A maskil from the Korah family.

God, we have heard about you. Our fathers told us what you did in their lifetime. They told us what you did long ago. 2 With your great power you took this land from other people, and you gave it to us. You crushed those foreigners and forced them to leave this land. 3 It was not our fathers' swords that took the land. It was not their strong arms that brought them victory. It was your power. It was because you accepted them and smiled down on them. 4 God, you are my king. Give the command and lead Jacob's people to victory. 5 We need your help to push our enemies back. Only in your name can we trample those who attacked us. 6 I don't put my trust in my bow. My sword cannot save me. 7 You are the one who saved us from our enemies. You are the one who put our enemies to shame. 8 We have praised you all day long, and we will praise your name forever. Selah

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But thou hast saved us from our enemies,.... Spiritual ones, and not we ourselves; and therefore will not trust in ourselves, nor in anything of ours, but in the Lord, and give him the glory of salvation;

and hast put them to shame that hated us; the men of the world, the seed of the serpent, and the serpent himself, when his works were destroyed, and his principalities and powers spoiled by Christ upon the cross; hence the following boasting of the Lord, and glorying in him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But thou hast saved us from our enemies - That is, Thou hast done it in times past. Thou hast interposed in behalf of our nation in periods of danger and trial, and hast delivered us. This is stated as a reason for what is said by the psalmist in Psalms 44:6 - that he would not trust in his sword and in iris bow - and for the earnest appeal which he now makes to God. He and his people did not rely on their own strength and prowess, but on that God who had often interposed to save the nation.

And hast put them to shame that hated us - In former times. That is, he had caused them to be discomfited. He had turned them back. He had covered them with confusion. On the meaning of the words “shame” and “ashamed,” see Job 6:20, note; Psalms 34:5, note.
