The God Who Saves – Psalm 3

The God Who Saves – Psalm 3

Psalm 3

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.

“God will not save him”

1 Lord, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me,
‘God will not deliver him.’

God will save him!

3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
7 Arise, Lord!
Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
8 From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.

A greater King and a greater deliverance

Jesus, Son of David, was NOT delivered, so that a greater deliverance resulted for many more people.

“May your blessing be on your people.” Why cave in to the lesser fears of life when deliverance has been given for the greatest?
