Psalm 9:10 “Trust the power in you”

In this psalm, David praises God for pleading his cause, and giving him victory over his enemies and the enemies of his country (Psalms 9:1-6), and calls upon others to join with him in his songs of praise (Psalms 9: 11, 12). II. He prays to God that he might have still further occasion to praise him, for his own deliverances and the confusion of his enemies (Psalms 9: 13, 14, 19, 20). III. He triumphs in the assurance he had of God's judging the world (Psalms 9:7, 8), protecting his oppressed people (Psalms 9:9, 10, 18), and bringing his and their implacable enemies to ruin (Psalms (: 15-17). This is very applicable to the kingdom of the Messiah, the enemies of which have been in part destroyed already, and shall be yet more and more till they all be made his footstool, which we are to assure ourselves of, that God may have the glory and we may take the comfort.

Psalms 9:1 I'm thanking you, God, from a full heart , I'm writing the book on your wonders . 2. I'm whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy; I'm singing your song, High God. 3.

He decides what is right for us earthlings, gives people their just deserts. 9. God's a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. 10. The moment you arrive, you relax; you're never sorry you knocked.

If we would praise God acceptably, we must praise him in sincerity, with our whole heart. When we give thanks for some one particular mercy, we should remember former mercies. Our joy must not be in the gift, so much as in the Giver. The triumphs of the Redeemer ought to be the triumphs of the redeemed. The almighty power of God is that which the strongest and ...
