You may not be able to relate to the woes of the psalmist (David) as he appeals to the Lord for help. He is facing an onslaught from wicked foes who "surround" him like lions hungry for prey. His enemies seek to throw him down and destroy him.
Not all of us face such troubles of ancient kings - but there is still something in this psalm that resonates with our modern situations. We still have a need for God to be our deliverer, our rescuer, our savior today. Again and again, David pleads for God to save him, taking comfort in the fact that he is merely reminding the Lord of his good nature and character, rather than trying to sway the allegiance of an indifferent deity.
We may or may not experience what David experienced, but every day Christians feel oppression from what life throws at us. It may not take the form of evil, plotting men - but it is still something we need delivered from. How can God rescue you today?
