Psalms 143:9-12 (ESV Strong's)
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord!
I have fled to you for refuge.
Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit lead me
on level ground!
For your name's sake, O Lord, preserve my life!
In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!
And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies,
and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul,
for I am your servant.
It Is YOU God!
In the above passage, the word “you” or “yours” is used eight times. David is writing a song to express his trust and confidence in the fact that God is the one who cares for him, upholds him, protects him and enables him. God does all this for David because of God’s name; because of God’s love; because of God’s Spirit; because of God’s righteousness; because of God’s will!! And He does it because David is God’s servant. When’s e think of the power of God watching over us and wonder if “our” conduct is deserving, David teaches us that it is NOT our conduct that makes these things happen. It is because of God’s character. That should give us confidence and boldness.
