Psalms 3:1-8 (A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.) LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
David seemed to always have a way with trusting in God. It almost didn’t matter what he was going through, he still trusted in God. When David wrote this, his son Absalom had pronounced himself king and was seeking to kill David. Yet David still trusted in God and realized that God would be his salvation.
When we face difficult and unjust situations in life we must trust God and stay faithful to Him. He will be our salvation and deliverance. It may not come as quickly as we would like or in the way that we expect...but God’s salvation will always come to the faithful.
