HOW MANY ARE MY FOES! / PSALMS 3:1-8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 3:1-8

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.

HOW MANY ARE MY FOES! / PSALMS 3:1-8

This psalm is a lament – an expression of grief, regret or trouble – offered to God. Nearly a third of the psalms fit into this category.

  1. The basic structure of this type of psalm includes an intense, passionate call to God (Psalms 3:1), a description of trouble, suffering or injustice (Psalms 3:1-2), an expression of trust in God (Psalms 3:3-6), a plea for help (Psalms 3:7) and an expression of praise or thanksgiving (Psalms 3:8). 
  2. The large number of laments in the Bible is a sign that God wants people to cry out to Him for help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
