But then God delivers Saul, David's sworn enemy, into his hands, and yet David would not touch God's anointed. It seems that Saul is genuinely moved by this show of compassion by David. This psalm teaches us how to exalt God in time of trouble. But in spite of the trouble around us, we can still reach out to God in faith. Faith lifts its hand up through the threatening clouds, lays hold of Him who has all power in heaven and on earth.
Faith makes the uplook good, the outlook bright, the inlook favorable, and the future glorious.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. David understood that we can rest secure under the shadow of God's wings. His protecting hand would guard and protect us. Even though the storms of destruction were surrounding David, he knew he could take refuge in God. Verse 2 I cry to God Most High, to God who fulfils his purpose for me.
