In today’s reading, David exalts the Lord with gratitude for delivering him from his enemies and granting him victory. In Psalm 18:32 David says, It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. Without God we will never be strong enough to win against evil. The only way to be certain of deliverance is to call on God for help and strength.

David wrote Psalm 17 while he was be persecuted by Saul. You can feel the desperation as he reaches out to God for deliverance. In Psalm 17:6 David says, I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. One way or another, David would be delivered; even in death. In the end, we all know God delivered David from Saul’s persecution. But David trusted in God for His will to be done. This is a powerful example to all of us.

In today’s reading, David makes it clear he knows where his joy and stability come from. In Psalm 16:2 he says, I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” All that is good in my life, like David’s, comes from God. Whether it is my marriage, my kids, or my friendships; if it does not come from God, it will not give me the joy and peace I need for true contentment.

In today’s reading David goes through a long list of things required by man to be on solid foundation with God. He finishes the end of Psalm 15:5 with, He who does these things will never be shaken. Do not be mistaken, these are not requirements for salvation, they are requirements for living a blameless life and in turn a life in relationship with God, our Heavenly Father.

The denial of God’s existence doesn’t make it true. This is what Psalm 14:1 says about it. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. This Psalm is very clear.

In the midst of despair, David trusts in the Lord to deliver him and provide relief. In Psalm 13:5 David says, But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. Even in the middle of it, David knows God is able to deliver him. Let us never lose sight of God’s ability to deliver us from our own despair. We are never alone and we never have to face it alone because He is with us.

In today’s reading David describes a wicked world. In many ways he is describing the same world we live in today. But there is hope. In Psalm 12:7 he says, O Lord, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever. God will always protect us and keep us safe from the wicked, just like he kept David safe over 3,000 years ago.

When we trust in God, we can face our problems head on because He is a just and righteous God. In Psalm 11:7 David says, For the Lord is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face. When we are upright and faithful to God, we are able to look to God and know He will protect us from evil, even after death.
