Through the Psalms Chapter 9
Psalm 9: 7-10
“The Lord reigns forever,
He has established his throne for judgment.
He rules the world in righteousness
And judges the peoples with equity.
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name trust in you,
For you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.”
There is so much content in these few verses. It all touches on who God is. Just look at the verbs in the first four lines: reigns, established, rules, judges. Read those four lines again and catch a glimpse of the magnificence of our God. The next two lines show us a small part of who our Lord is: a refuge, a stronghold. What words to cling to in times of danger or despair. In the last two lines, the psalmist speaks directly to our Lord about those who know and seek Him. With confidence, we can trust Him and know He will never forsake us.
Lord God, I am amazed at your power and might. Yet, with all that strength you are gentle enough to provide us refuge when we seek it. Thank you for your faithfulness.
