How preachers through history handled this text
6 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 3, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Care and grief do us good, when they engage us to pray to God, as in earnest. David had always found God ready to answer his prayers. Nothing can fix a gulf between the communications of God's grace towards us, and the working of his grace in us; between his favour and our faith. He had always been very safe under the Divine protection. This is applicable to the common mercies of every night, for which we ought to give thanks every morning. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 3:4–30 (Public Domain)
