Proclamation:
“With my mouth I will greatly extol The
Lord; in the great throng of worshipers I will praise Him. For He stands at the right hand of the needy,
to save their lives from those who would condemn them.” Psalm 109:30-31 (NIV)
Explanation:
The words of this psalm were written by
King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God. In the first half of this psalm he addressed
what his enemies had done to him, and what he would like to have happen to them.
(Psalm 109:1-20) Then he described
himself (Psalm 109:22-25) before stating what he would like for The Lord God to
do. (Psalm 109:26-29) Then David ended
the psalm by stating that would praise The Lord and declare His greatness
before the congregation of believers. His last statement in this psalm was that The
Lord God would stand beside the needy and protect them from those who would
harm them. (Psalm 109:30-31)
Application:
We should praise The Lord God privately
and publicly. We are all in need of
something which only He can provide or supply.
He is our refuge and strength, and He is always present in both good
times and times of trouble. (Psalm 46:1)
With The Lord by our side, we will not be moved or defeated. (Psalm
16:8) He is our keeper and our
protector. (Psalm 121:5) He will never
leave us or neglect us. (Hebrews 13:5)
He is worthy of all of our praise.
