Gill's Notes on the Bible

Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies,.... Either Saul and his courtiers, or Absalom and the conspirators along with him; who were many, and lively and strong, stronger than he; and therefore God only could deliver him, and to him he sought for it, and not to men; and so deliverance from spiritual enemies is only from the Lord;

I flee unto thee to hide me; from their rage and fury; who was the only asylum or place of refuge for him, where he could be safe. It may be rendered, "with thee have I hid" y; that is, myself: so Arama gives the sense,

"I have hid myself with thee.''

Jarchi, Aben Ezra, and Kimchi, interpret it to this purpose,

"I have hid my affairs, my straits and troubles, my difficulties and necessities, from men; and have revealed them unto thee, who alone can save.''

The Targum is,

"I have appointed thy Word to be (my) Redeemer.''

y אליך כסתי "ad te abscondi me", Montanus; "apud te", Tigurine version; "ad te texi", Cocceius, Michaelis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies - See the notes at Psalms 69:14.

I flee unto thee to hide me - Margin, “Hide me with thee.” The Hebrew is, I hide myself with thee; that is, I take refuge with thee; I put myself under thy protection; I make myself thus secure, as thou art secure. See the notes at Psalms 17:8. Compare Psalms 27:5; Psalms 31:20.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 143:9. I flee unto thee to hide me. — That I may not be found by my enemies, who seek my life to destroy it.
