a Wonderful Deliverance

Psa 18:1-26

There is another edition of this psalm in 2Sa 22:1-51. Psa 18:2 and Psa 18:49 are applied in the New Testament to the Lord Jesus, Heb 2:13 and Rom 15:9. We begin with the psalmist’s good resolve, Psa 18:1-3. No single metaphor can comprehend the whole of God’s helpfulness to men; but can we say, “I love thee”? See Joh 21:17. “Thou knowest!”

The story of the past, Psa 18:4-19. We also have our Red Seas. In our distress let us also cry. The voice of the sufferer may be weak and solitary, but it reaches through the gates of pearl and moves creation! Luk 8:46.

The confident claim of the righteous, Psa 18:20-26. We cannot boast a righteousness of our own, but we stand in Christ. We are full of impurity and evil, but we may claim at least integrity of motive. Compare Psa 18:26 with Lev 26:21-24. The wind blows in one direction; you can walk against it or with it-take your choice.
