Dissecting the Psalm about Absalom SERIES: 8

"A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his Son.

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD:
thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
Psalm 3:8

Verse 8. "Salvation belongeth unto the Lord."
In the last sentence the peculiarity and speciality of salvation are plainly stated: "Thy blessing is upon thy people." Neither upon Egypt, nor upon Tyre, nor upon Ninevah; thy blessing is upon thy chosen, thy blood-bought, thine everlastingly-beloved people. "Selah:" lift up your hearts, and pause, and meditate upon this doctrine. 

 Pause, my soul, at this Selah."
Charles Spurgeon
