Dwell in the Word Psalm 9 Dwell in the Word
-
- Christianity
The connection between praise and God's deeds is evident in Psalm 9. David recounts the wonderful acts of the LORD, acknowledging His faithfulness not only to him as king but to the people of God. David focuses on God's judgment, as enemies stumble and perish in His presence, their names blotted out forever. In contrast, the LORD sits enthroned forever, ruling with justice and righteousness. God is a stronghold for the oppressed, unlike human rulers who oppress the weak. Therefore, praises are to be sung, serving as a witness to the nations about the LORD's deeds. David acknowledges his need for God's help and calls for justice and protection. He appeals for the nations to be humbled, recognizing their inferiority before God. This psalm reminds us of our place, surrendering control to God, who acts righteously and justly. With Jesus seated on the throne, having conquered sin and death, we can have confidence in His righteous judgment. He is our stronghold and does not forsake those who trust in Him.
