“But I will sing of Thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning: for Thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble” (Psalm 59:16).

Many Bible scholars believe that Psalm 59 was written when wicked King Saul sent his troops to watch David’s house with the orders to kill him. It was a terrible time for David. In the midst of such profound sorrow David wrote a song. He sang of God’s power. He sang of God’s mercy in the morning. He sang about God being his source of safety in the time of trouble. He uses the word translated “defence” in our verse. What a great blessing. What a great song! How will this play out in your life today?

For today: I certainly am not facing anything comparable to what David faced. But I am thankful that the same Lord is my God, and therefore, I will trust Him.
