Some Sundays I choose a Psalm and write down some brief thoughts on it.

Today I'm looking at

A Psalm of David

This Psalm falls into 7 parts:

V. 1-3
Acknowledgement of God who was David's Deliverer

V. 4-6
Acknowledgement of God who Heard David's Cry

V. 7-15
Acknowledgement of God who was David's Avenger

V. 16-19
Acknowledgement of God who Delighted in David

V. 20-30
Acknowledgement of God who treated David Justly

V. 31-45
Acknowledgement of God who was David's Support

V. 46-50??

Acknowledgement of God who was worthy to be Exalted above all

This Psalm could be summed up simply by verses 31-32

Surely we can acknowledge God in the same way
as David did in this Psalm.

From this Psalm we should always remember that:

We have to be humble to be delivered also for our city to be delivered. v 27

God will give us the strength for the battle against evil in our city v 39

So that the enemy will have to turn away from us v 40

Because of what God has done and will do in our city we must extol him v 49
