Psalm 63
Today’s header is certainly related to other sections of Scripture, but it is difficult to pinpoint any actual chapter/verses since David spent a good deal of time running from Saul and Absalom, much of that in the Wilderness of Judah. Two of my study bibles list the following sections: I Samuel 23:13-29 for David’s flight from Saul and II Samuel 15:23-28; 16:2,14; 17:16,29 for his running from Absalom.
What struck me in today’s reading was that only three verses spoke of David’s enemies (vv. 9-10, 11b). The rest of the Psalm was about David’s relationship with his Lord as in …my mouth will praise You with joyful lips, when I remember You upon my bed, and meditate on You in the watches of the night… (vv. 5b-6). That’s especially meaningful today, in that we just spent the past week at Creative Arts Camp teaching and singing about praise. David models that for us today!
