psalms 3:2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

psalms 3:2 Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah.

2. say of my soul--that is, "of me" (compare Ps 25:3). This use of "soul" is common; perhaps it arose from regarding the soul as man's chief part.
no help . . . in God--rejected by Him. This is the bitterest reproach for a pious man, and denotes a spirit of malignant triumph.
Selah--This word is of very obscure meaning. It probably denotes rest or pause, both as to the music and singing, intimating something emphatic in the sentiment (compare Ps 9:16).

psalms 3:2 Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah.
