March 30, 2025 - 2 Samuel 22-24

After so many deliverances,

“David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.  He said,

‘The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

      my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

      my shield, and the horn of my salvation,

      my stronghold and my refuge,

      my savior; you save me from violence.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,

      and I am saved from my enemies’” (22:1-4)

And so, we sing:

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

is laid for your faith in God's excellent Word!

What more can be said than to you God hath said,

to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,

for I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;

I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,

upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.”   --R. Keen, George Keith (1787)
