Bless me – Psalm 5:11-12
Protection is the last thing named [v. 12]. Beyond that, David was blessed with joy, confidence, and deeper love for the Lord. Times of suffering can be times of growing if we let the Lord have His way.
Be honest with God – Psalm 7:2
David did not say that the enemy was telling the truth, but he was willing for God to examine him and punish him. He had nothing to hide.
Let God be the Judge – Psalm 7:6-13
It is wise to let God be the judge because His judgment is always right [1 Cor. 4:3-5]. We do not see ourselves and others as He sees, so it is best to turn the matter over to Him. David was careful to maintain his integrity [v. 8] and let God be his Défense [v. 10].
Wait on the Lord – Psalm 7:14-16
Sin has a way of bringing its own punishment if we wait long enough. It is like giving to pain and trouble [v. 14. James1:4-5]. Failing into a pit [v. 15], or getting back the trouble that they tried to impose on others [v. 16].
Praise – Psalm 9:1-6
God had won a victory for David, so he sang a song of praise to the Lord. It was not a personal battle. Because David was doing God’s will, the Lord maintained his cause. Take time to praise the Lord for the victories He graciously gives you.
Promise – Psalm 9:7-12
David looked ahead to the time when God would finally judge sin and establish His righteous kingdom. His people do not need to worry; He is their Refuge and will never forsake them [Heb. 13:5]. The Father forsook His Son on the cross, but He will not forsake you.
Prayer – Psalm 9:13-20
From considering the past and the future. David turned to his present need as he prayed for God’s help. His need was for mercy; his motive was that he might praise the Lord and tell others of His salvation. Why? Because there is a place called hell [v 17] and God’s salvation is the only escape from that terrible place.
Paul advised, “Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men”
[2 Cor.5:11]
Does God Hide? – Psalm 10:1-4
Why do the wicked prosper? Is a perennial question God’s people ask. As they consider the suffering of the godly and the security of the ungodly, they feel that God ahs forgotten and forsaken His people. He is hiding.
