Gill's Notes on the Bible

In God have I put my trust,.... :-;

I will not be afraid what man can do unto me; the same with flesh in

Psalms 56:4, and is opposed to God, in whom he trusted; and it suggests that he was not, and would not, be afraid of the greatest of men, as well as of the meanest; Psalms 56:4- :; Arama distinguishes between "flesh" and "man"; the former, he says, means the Philistines, and the latter Saul and his army.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In God have I put my trust - The sentiment in this verse is the same as in Psalms 56:6, except that the word “man” is used here instead of “flesh.” The meaning, however, is the same. The idea is, that he would not be afraid of what “any man” - any human being - could do to him, if God was his friend.
