Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - O God the Lord. In the Hebrew, "Jehovah Adonai" - a comparatively rare address. The strength of my salvation. The solid strength upon which I ground all my hopes of salvation (comp. Psalm 89:26). Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. In past combats thou hast protected me, as with a shield (Psalm 18:2; Psalm 33:20), wherefore I put the greater trust in thee for the future. The "head" is mentioned as one of the chief vital parts.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) In the day of battle.--Literally, in the day of arms, i.e., when he was arming for fight. God covered the warrior's head, i.e., provided the "helmet of salvation" (Isaiah 59:17). (Comp. also Psalm 60:9 : "Strength of my head.") Others, however, follow the LXX. and Authorised Version in understanding by "day of arms" the day of battle.
