Psalm 144:9-15
David had seen God rescue him in the past and he needed God’s protection once again. David mixed his praise for God with his call for help. David prays at a time of facing enemies. “God, please protect me now in the same way you have protected me in the past.” This prayer is possible when we consider who God is and all that God has done. What has God done for you? What does this say about who God is? Answering these questions may bring surprising joy. David learned to sing his prayer to the Lord. David would write new songs as a way of communicating with God. David found a joyful benefit to all of this.
