Chapter 539 of 1163

PSALM 108

This psalm is adapted from Psalm 57:7–11 (vv. 1–5) and Psalm 60:5–12 (vv. 6–13). It is the song of a warrior, and in it, David makes three affirmations.

“I will praise” (1–6). A steadfast heart is a singing heart because confidence in God gives you something to sing about. David arose early in the morning to sing to the Lord. Worship is good preparation for warfare.

“I will listen” (7–9). God heard the voice of David, and then David listened to the voice of God. It was a word of assurance as the king went out to battle: “All nations are mine, and I can do with them as I please.”

“I will conquer” (10–13). God leads us into the battle, helps us capture the enemy’s strongholds, and gives us the victory. Verse 13 is David’s version of Philippians 4:13. It was true for him, and it is true for you today.
