Psalm 35
1. David prays for his own safety, and his enemies' confusion
11. He complains of their wrongful dealing
22. Thereby he incites God against them














I will give You thanks
This phrase begins with a personal commitment to express gratitude to God. The Hebrew root for "thanks" is "yadah," which implies not only giving thanks but also confessing or acknowledging God's character and deeds. In the context of ancient Israel, thanksgiving was a vital part of worship, often expressed through sacrifices and offerings. This act of giving thanks is not just a private matter but a public declaration of God's goodness and faithfulness.

in the great assembly
The "great assembly" refers to a large gathering of worshippers, likely at the temple in Jerusalem. Historically, the assembly was a place where the community of Israel came together to worship, celebrate feasts, and hear the reading of the Law. This setting emphasizes the communal aspect of worship and thanksgiving, highlighting the importance of sharing one's testimony of God's deliverance and blessings with others. It underscores the idea that faith is not just personal but also communal, encouraging others in their faith journey.

I will praise You
"Praise" in Hebrew is "halal," which means to boast or to glorify. This word is the root of "Hallelujah," meaning "Praise the Lord." The act of praising God is central to the life of a believer, as it acknowledges God's sovereignty, power, and love. Praise is both an expression of joy and a declaration of God's worthiness. It is an act of worship that elevates God above all circumstances and focuses the believer's heart on His eternal nature.

among many people
The phrase "among many people" suggests a setting beyond the immediate community of faith, possibly indicating a broader audience. This could include Gentiles or those outside the covenant community of Israel. It reflects the missional aspect of the believer's life, where the acts of thanksgiving and praise serve as a witness to God's greatness to all nations. Historically, Israel was called to be a light to the nations, and this phrase aligns with that calling, encouraging believers to share God's goodness with the world.

Verse 18. - I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I win praise thee among much people. The promise is repeated (see vers. 9, 10); hut, as before, it is conditional on deliverance being granted, and intended to induce God to grant it, and to grant it speedily.
