Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. In the first burst of joy at his recent victory, the 'host" which remains unconquered seems of light account - let them advance - let them "encamp against him" - his heart will not be afraid; but when the joy has had full vent, there is a reaction; the enemies then appear more formidable, and God's aid is besought against them (see vers. 9-12). Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. "In this" may be either "in the fact that the Lord is my Light and my Salvation" (ver. 1), or "in case of such an event as war and attack on the part of the enemy."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Though an host.--Literally, Though a camp should encamp.In this.--Either in this circumstance or in spite of this. (Comp. Psalm 78:32.) The LXX. ?? ?????, followed by ???? in the next clause, seems to refer it to the hope about to be expressed. The Rabbinical commentators (e.g., Aben Ezra and Rashi) refer back to the beginning of the psalm. "In this"--viz., that Jehovah is my light--"do I trust." Rosenmiiller refers it to "the battle" just mentioned, in ipsa pugna.
