Psalm 18:1–19, “I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.”
David obeyed the Lord and served him faithfully. When he was still very young he fought against Goliath, the Philistine giant, and defeated him. Theoretically, King Saul should have fought against Goliath because he was the tallest man in Israel. When the soldiers returned from the battle, the women sang, “Saul has slain his thousands and David has slain his ten thousands. (1 Sam 18: 7) From that time Saul was determined to kill David because he saw the warrior shepherd as a threat to his throne. David lived a long time with the heavy shadow of death hanging over his head. Eventually, David’s trust in the Lord was vindicated and David was free from the threats of his enemies. David delighted in the Lord’s goodness and praised the Lord from the depths of his heart. Even though he had experienced trouble, injury and even a massive loss of hope, the Lord remained faithful throughout the years and the Lord kept all the promises that He had made to David. Whenever David prayed the Lord heard his prayer and saved him many times when everything seemed to be completely hopeless. The Lord was able to intervene with power and His majestic authority when David was afraid or even when he despaired of his life. The Lord was able to do all these things for David because He is the Creator and is able to control everything. The Lord is the God of the whole earth and not just the God of Israel. The entire creation is subject to the Lord’s authority.
