Psalm 9
Enthroned forever. Righteous Judge. Refuge for the oppressed. Stronghold in times of trouble. Destroyer of the wicked. The Lord Most High.
Such are the characteristics of a God who inspires unwavering confidence in His ability to uphold His people when they seek His help against the attacks of their enemies. What a comfort to know that when the Lord is for us, none can stand against us! None!
No wonder the writer opens this psalm with an attitude of wholehearted praise and exuberant gladness in the wonderful deeds of the Lord. God had never let His people down in the past, and David believed He would come through for them again. Surely those who trust in the Lord Almighty and seek Him for help will never be forsaken!
Just as God had chosen Israel to be a light to the nations, He has chosen His church to shine out the light of Christ to the lost world. Keep trusting Him, dear friend. Keep seeking Him for help. Keep running to Him as your stronghold. Keep praising Him and proclaiming His wonders to the nations.
He kept His covenant with Israel, and He’ll keep His covenant with His church. Against His power and justice, the enemy doesn’t stand a chance. His people will never be forsaken.
