    Ps.140 "Selah"

    The Holy Spirit once again introduces selah at the end of v.3. The line'When I awake, I am still with thee' points it to the day of regeneration. The passage, marked of vv.18-22 from the previous psalm is to be considered as coming from the man, the psalmist assured of appearing before the God.

    "Do not I hate them, OLord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?/I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies." (139:21-22) is to be read as part of the psalm where he prays, "Deliver me, OLord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;/Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war./They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips."

    Selah at the end of verse. This is what concerns the body, where man has to be constantly vigilant from being ensnared by the ungodly 'who have purposed to overthrow my goings' which is now set from the standpoint of the soul. Compare with 139:3, "Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways."

    Keep me, OLord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings/The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me."

    Selah at the end of v.5 marks the change and passage marked vv.6-13 is from Jesus Christ the captain of our salvation. The prayer of the psalmist is thus being allied to the word of God in the vision of John where saints follow the rider on the white horse. ("And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."-Re.19:14) "OGodthe Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle."(v.7)

    Selah is inserted thrice in this psalm v.3,v.5 and v.8 to indicate a saint as foreknown and abiding in Christ
