Psalm 138
King David sings praises to Yahweh God, who is superior to anything or anyone else worshipped by people. His song repeatedly describes our God as one who is faithful in love. David has found God to be responsive. David believes in the promises of God. David draws strength from his relationship with God and a constant conversation with God. At first, it seems a contradiction that our God is most powerful and yet cares for the humble. “Surrounded by troubles” as David was, he had learned to trust in the living God.
