“To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me” (v1). In distress, David cries out, believing that God is not silent to his “pleas of mercy” (v2). He places his trust in God’s commitment to do what is right, to judge evil ones and “render them their due” (v4). Confident in God’s justice, his heart is free to worship, knowing that he has been “heard” (v6). His heart is filled with newfound faith in the Lord, his strength and shield (v7).
“In him my heart trusts, and I am helped” (v7). Like the psalmist, even in our desperate times, we can trust that God is working out his justice and mercy, and he will always be our good Shepherd (v9).
