Deliverance!

 (ID: 1541)

Trials and hardships are a part of every life, and the Christian life is no different. In Psalm 3, however, King David modeled genuine faith amidst severe persecution when he placed his trust in the truth of God’s character. In this message, Alistair Begg reminds us to seek refuge in God’s presence and protection. Confronting suffering in this way points the world to a Savior who is infinitely trustworthy and valuable, regardless of our circumstances.

Save Me, O My God

A Psalm of David, nwhen he fled from Absalom his son.

1O Lord, ohow many are my foes!

Many are prising against me;

2many are saying of my soul,

q“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah1

3But you, O Lord, are ra shield sabout me,

my glory, and tthe lifter of my head.

4I ucried aloud to the Lord,

and he vanswered me from his wholy hill. Selah

5I xlay down and slept;

I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

6I ywill not be afraid of many thousands of people

who have zset themselves against me all around.

7aArise, O Lord!

Save me, O my God!

For you bstrike all my enemies on the cheek;

you cbreak the teeth of the wicked.

8dSalvation belongs to the Lord;

your blessing be on your people! Selah
