In God I trust and am not afraid

Psalm 56:1-13

Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
2 My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.

In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?

I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

After the Philistines captured him in Gath. But neither 1 Samuel 21 or 27 records this. The psalmist has plenty to worry him and shake his nerve. But he knows the answer to fear. And he can safely and thankfully leave God to deal with his enemies.

Why?

Weapon of my enemies is the pride and evil words.

Light of life: It means in my life may enjoy the full blessing of the Lord.

In God I trust and am not afraid: For I have experienced the grace and mercy, the salvation of the Lord, so I believe that the Lord will save me one more time!

大衛逃避掃羅，而逃到迦特。韭利士人境內，可能被殺。在這危急的時候，卻寫出最光明的詩篇。

有關仇敵的只有v1,2 v5,6是指掃羅的動作。仇敵是有組織，有計劃的，等待殺害大衛。在此危險中，一直說我“倚靠神”出現六次。怎能如此? v8 我幾次流離，你都記數；求你把我眼淚裝在你的皮袋裡。這不都記在你冊子上嗎？神記得，而且珍惜，連眼淚都收集。深深知道神知道他的事。神多麼在乎他的孩子們。我的心思意念，被他愛的人所牽動。

透過信心知道神要成就大事。神要幫助我們。我們倚靠神，我們就不懼怕。

How?

I will present my thank offerings to you, O Lord!
