A Song of Ascents. Of David.
This psalm perhaps recalls the events in 2 Sm 5:17-25.
v.1-5 David recalls an event, perhaps a foreign invasion, where the Lord delivered the people of Israel. The people had been in great danger — “they would have swallowed us up alive.”
v.6-7 Blessed be the Lord who delivered them out of the snare.
v.8 The Lord, who made heaven and earth, is our great help in times of trouble.
With the Lord at our side, the church will surely have the victory against the devil and his forces. If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom 8:31) That’s the Lord’s stand, are you in good hands?
