A Journey Through the Psalms: Reflections for Worried Hearts and Troubled Times
Preaching the Psalms Cycles A, B, C
The words of this psalm emerge from a grateful heart. They flow from the consciousness of one who knows the saving power of God in concrete terms. More to the point, they reflect the experience of someone who has been rescued. Public safety professionals experience this kind of thing frequently. In the daily line of their work they rescue people, and the gratefulness of some of them is remarkable. A woman whose children have been rescued from a fire shows up at the fire station every week with gifts for the firefighters. She falls all over herself thanking them again and again.
