All that God did for David:
He is the Rock
Arms David with strength
Makes his way perfect
Makes his feet like those of a deer
Enables him to stand on the heights
Trains his hands for battle
Gives him His shield of victory
Sustains him with His right hand
Stoops to make him great
Broadens the path beneath him
Armed him with strength for battle
Made adversaries bow at his feet
Made enemies turn their backs in flight
Destroyed his foes
Delivered him from the attacks of the people
Made him head of the nations
Avenges him
Subdues nations under him
Saves him from his enemies
Exalted him above his foes
Gives His King great victories
Shows unfailing kindness to His anointed
He will show similar goodness and kindness to those to whom He extends His grace.
The Psalm clearly is Messianic and points forwards to Jesus. It reminds us of the victory that Christ has won.
Psalm 19
God revealed in creation (v1-6)
God's glory is declared in the heavens
His hands' work is proclaimed in the skies
Day after day they speak loads!
Night after night they display knowledge
Their voice can be heard everywhere
The sun is like a bridegroom placed by God to come out, like a champion running his course - it rises and covers all the earth
The revelation in God's Word (v7-14)
It is perfect
Trustworthy
Right
Radiant
Pure
Sure
Precious
Sweet
A warning
Psalms 20-21
Ps 20 is about the King and his people trusting in God, knowing He will prevail. We can similarly trust in God, knowing He will prevail.
