Caring King

V.1-3 Lord, I have so many enemies! So many people are rising up against me! Many are saying about me, "God will not save him." Lord, you are like a shield that keeps me safe. You honor me. You help me win the battle.

In this psalm David is crying out to the Lord after he ran away from his son Absalom. Even though we run God is a shield that keeps us safe through our battles and storms.

v. 4-6 I call out to the Lord. He answers me from his holy hill. I lie down and sleep. I wake up again, because the Lord takes care of me. I won't be afraid of the tens of thousands who are lined up against me on every side.

The Lord watches over you and care's for you. God is with you through anything.

V. 7-8 Lord, rise up! My God, save me! Strike all my enemies in the face. Break the teeth of sinful people. Lord, you are the one who saves. May your blessing be on your people.
