Trusting God during Opposition

1 {To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?} Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.

7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.

Commentary

The Psalmist's faith in God during times of trouble is a common theme throughout the book of Psalms. In this particular chapter, David's reliance on God's protection and provision is evident. He does not turn to his own strength, but instead acknowledges that God is the one who will rescue him from his enemies. This can be a source of encouragement for us when we face opposition or trials. We too can trust in God's unfailing love and faithfulness to see us through difficult times. Like David, we can have confidence that God hears our prayers and will provide for us according to His perfect will.
