(Part of my series of commenting on the Psalms)
David is grateful to God for delivering him from Saul.
Great verses:
1 I love you, O Lord, my strength
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer…
28 You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning, my God turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.
That’s a great thought: with my God, I can leap over any wall.
Wow, I just read Ps 18 in Eugene Peterson’s The Message
Here’s a sample:
Psalm 18:1-6 (The Message)
1 I love you, God— you make me strong. 2 God is bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight. My God—the high crag where I run for dear life, hiding behind the boulders, safe in the granite hideout. 3 I sing to God, the Praise-Lofty, and find myself safe and saved. 4 The hangman’s noose was tight at my throat; devil waters rushed over me. 5 Hell’s ropes cinched me tight; death traps barred every exit. 6 A hostile world! I call to God, I cry to God to help me. From his palace he hears my call; my cry brings me right into his presence— a private audience!
Great words for today.
