A Cry for Help and Trust in God's Protection

1 {A Psalm of David.} Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Commentary

This psalm is a beautiful expression of the deep trust that David had in God, despite his difficult circumstances. It reminds us that it's okay to cry out to God when we're feeling overwhelmed, and that we can trust Him to be our protector and defender. David's faith in God's ability to punish evil also speaks to the justice and righteousness that we can expect from God. Ultimately, this psalm points us towards a deep relationship with God, one in which we can be honest about our struggles and find strength in His unfailing love.
