The Hebrew root for "call" is קָרָא (qara), which implies not just a vocal cry but an invocation or proclamation. In the historical context of ancient Israel, calling upon the LORD was an act of faith and reliance on God's covenant promises. It reflects a deep trust in God's character and His willingness to respond to His people. The use of "LORD" in all caps indicates the Hebrew name YHWH, the personal and covenantal name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature.<p><b>who is worthy to be praised</b><br />This phrase acknowledges the LORD's inherent worthiness of praise. The Hebrew word for "worthy" is הָלַל (halal), which means to boast or to shine. It suggests that God's attributes and deeds are so magnificent that they naturally elicit praise. In the scriptural context, praising God is not just a ritualistic act but a response to His holiness, power, and love. Historically, the Israelites praised God for His mighty acts of deliverance, such as the Exodus, and His ongoing faithfulness. This phrase encourages believers to recognize and declare God's glory in their lives.<p><b>so shall I be saved from my enemies</b><br />The phrase "so shall I be saved" is a confident assertion of deliverance. The Hebrew root for "saved" is יָשַׁע (yasha), which means to rescue or deliver. This reflects a trust in God's ability to provide salvation and protection. The historical context of David, the psalmist, often involved literal battles and threats from enemies, making this a personal testimony of God's deliverance. For contemporary believers, this phrase can be understood as assurance of spiritual salvation and protection from spiritual adversaries. It underscores the belief that calling upon God and praising Him leads to divine intervention and victory over life's challenges.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/18.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(3) Presents a trifling verbal variation from Samuel.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/18.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 3.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised</span>.
