Clip Art Image: Jesus is my Rock

 

 

King David's words of praise and thanksgiving, taken from Psalm 18:2-6 (KJV)

 

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler,

and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
 

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised:

so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
 

The sorrows of death compassed me,

and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
 

The sorrows of hell compassed me about:

the snares of death prevented me.
 

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God:

he heard my voice out of his temple,

and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

 

 

The occasion for this psalm, according to the introductory statement included with ancient texts, says: To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.

 

God worked in David's life, hearing his cry and answering his petition.  Will He not also work in and through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to save all who call upon Him?  The Bible promises that He will indeed.
