SCRIPTURE

"Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me." — Psalms 143:9 (ASV)

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

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