Psalm 3 — Derek: Meditating on the Way
Bobby Valentine and John Mark Hicks discuss the opening prayer of the Psalter. Surrounded by many who claim God no longer listens to him, the Psalmist expresses confidence in Yahweh’s presence. God will answer him when he cries out and deliver him. Salvation comes from the Lord alone. Consequently, the Psalmist has no fear of the enemies that surround him as Yahweh is his shield and glory–the one who lifts up his face and blesses him.
