Psalms 108

Psalms 108:1-6

1. A triumphant praise declaration 108:1-6 David praised God exultantly for His great love and His amazing faithfulness. He wanted God to exalt Himself over all the earth and to deliver him from his affliction.

Psalms 108:7-13

2. A confident prayer request 108:7-13 The psalmist cited God’s promise to subdue the nations around Israel (Psalms 108:7-9). Then he expressed his confidence that victory was possible if God would grant it, but impossible if He would not. David was relying on Israel’s Warrior, not his army, to defeat the enemy. He realized and confessed that if victory depended on the sinful people, they would fall in defeat.

This is a great expression of dependence on God and trust in Him for the deliverance He promised. We who are God’s people should face our spiritual enemies with the same humility and confidence.
