And now, a minute with the Word…

Even while “poor and needy” (verse 5a), calling for God’s help in deliverance (verses 1 and 5) and judgment upon his adversaries (verses 2-3), David also recalled reason for joy and gladness, and occasion to extol God’s greatness (verses 4). As Nehemiah said to the returnees of Judah, “do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength” (8.10); and in the words of Paul to the Philippians, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand” (4.4-5).
