Psalms 109:26-27
Help me, O Lord my God!
Save me according to your steadfast love!
Let them know that this is your hand;
you, O Lord, have done it!
Tag: God's Deliverance
The writer of this Psalm, King David, is lamenting how he is being stalked and hunted and ridiculed by his oppressor. He wants and needs deliverance. The words of the Psalm speak about someone who has spurned David's kindness and has returned his blessing with cursing. There is much written in regard to the "imprecatory" nature of this psalm. David seems to be praying down hell fire and brimstone on his enemy. Whatever the nature of the psalm, the above couple of verses show David's real mindset. He knows he is helpless against this foe, so he turns to the God who loves him and the God who can save him. He not only knows to turn to God for salvation, he turns to God wanting all to know that it is ONLY God who saves him. He attempts to take no glory away from God. He gives all the praise to God for being able to save him and for saving him. That is what praise for our salvation is all about. We must come to realize that there was nothing in us to warrant being saved. ONLY God can redeem us. Praise Him, alone.
