• {v.6-7} When the flood of judgments break in, they are preserved. In every case, the soul thus acquainted with goodness can count upon God. God Himself, thus known, is its hiding place. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 29-32” by J.N. Darby)

• The two-fold result of knowing God as a forgiving God then follows. First, a confident hiding in the Lord for preservation from any further enemies that still exist (vs. 6-7); secondly, guidance from the Lord for the way (vs. 8-9). (“Book 1.” by B. Anstey)
