Psalm 21 – Rejoicing in the Strength of the Lord
Gladness is the peculiar privilege of saints. “Happy are you, O Israel!” “Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous.” Why should we not be glad? It is all right between us and God. If, having rebelled against Him, we had never repented, and had never been reconciled, we ought to be miserable. He that is out of […]
Psalm 20 – Salvation Through Our Conquering King
David wrote, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God” (v. 7). The big question is, What are you trusting today? Everybody trusts in or believes in something. Some people trust in their money or credit cards. Some trust in their strength or expertise […]
Psalm 19 – The All-Surpassing Worth of the Word of God
Because the Scriptures are the Word of the Lord—the communication and revelation of the living God—they have effects on us that are better than the effects of anything else we can read or study or watch or listen to. David says first in verse 10 that the words of God are “more to be […]

Psalm 17 – God Our Protector
David was a man under pressure. Accusations had been made against him concerning his conduct; his ego; his vain ambition. Men said that his behavior was criminal and that he deserved to die. The king of Israel himself believed this and was encouraging his men to hunt this rebel down and kill him. David […]
Psalm 16 – The Blessedness of Your Confession in Christ
No man that makes the worse choice of earth instead of God, ever, in the retrospect, said: ‘I have a goodly heritage.’ One of the later Roman Emperors, who was among the best of them, said, when he was dying: ‘I have been everything, and it profits me nothing.’ No man who takes the world […]
