Text: Psalm 18:1-50. David composed this Psalm as a thanksgiving message to God who had rescued him from his many enemies who included Saul (vv.1-19).

Text: Psalm 17:1-15. David was under distress probably due to Saul’s relentless pursuit and he was sincere to God that he was indeed in trouble (v.1).

Text: Psalm 16: 1-11. This Psalm much as it seems to talk about David like being rescued from his enemies or death, it is symbolic. It points to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. “For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption,” verse 10 (ESV). Indeed the tomb[…]

Text: Psalm 12:1-8. Many times men’s words are hurtful, but God’s words bring healing.
