The
first three verses set the tone: Worship. What a great start to this
Psalm. Our attention is directed away from ourselves to the Lord: 'my
strength...my rock, my fortress and my deliverer...my shield and the
horn of my salvation, my stronghold' (1-2). The great testimony of verse
3 - 'I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved
from my enemies' - did not come easily (4-5). The enemies of the Lord
will be brought to judgment (13-14). 'The cord of death encompassed
me...He delivered me from my strong enemy...' (4-5,17-19) - Rejoice in
the risen Christ through whom we have the 'victory' over 'the last
enemy...death' (1 Corinthians 15:20,26,54). God is leading us into 'a
broad place' (19). Step into the future with Him. Don't hold back! 'Let
go and let God have His wonderful way'.
