The Good News: We Will be Saved From our Enemies!

Psalm 18:

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord. He spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:


I love You, O Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my pillar, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
    my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
    my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I will be saved from my enemies.

30 
As for God, His way has integrity;
    the word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield
    to all those who take refuge in Him.
31 
For who is God except the Lord?
    Or who is a rock besides our God?
32 
It is God who clothes me with strength,
    and gives my way integrity.
33 
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    and causes me to stand on my high places.
34 
He trains my hands for war,
    so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
35 
You have given me the shield of Your salvation,
    and Your right hand has held me up,
    and Your gentleness has made me great.
36 
You have lengthened my stride under me,
    so that my feet did not slip.
37 
I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
    I did not return until they were destroyed.
38 
I wounded them, and they were not able to rise;
    they are fallen under my feet.
39 
For You clothed me with strength for the battle;
    You subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 
You gave me the necks of my enemies,
    and I destroyed those who hate me.
41 
They cried for help, but there was none to save them;
    even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
42 
Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind;
    I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 
You have delivered me from the hostilities of the people,
    and You have made me the head of nations;
    a people whom I have not known serve me.
44 
At hearing a report, they obey me;
    foreigners come cringing to me.
45 
Foreigners fade away,
    and come quaking out of their prisons.
46 
The Lord lives! And blessed be my Rock!
    May the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 
It is God who avenges me
    and subdues the people under me;
48 
    He delivers me from my enemies.
You lift me up above those who rise up against me;
    You have delivered me from the violent man.
49 
Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the nations,
    and sing praises to Your name.
50 
He gives great deliverance to His king,
    and shows lovingkindness to His anointed,
    to David and to his descendants for evermore.

Thank You, Gracious King Jesus, for Your Hand of protection and deliverance over Your anointed David and our nation, founded in Covenant. We give You Alone all the Praise, Honor and Glory for Your Overwhelming Victory, Yes and Amen!
