Psalm 18:48b “You exalted me above my foes;”

[Yes, Lord, “You rescue me from my strong enemies, from my foes who are too strong for me.” (Psalm 18:17)]

“from violent men you rescued me.”

[They “confronted me on the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place. He rescued me because he delighted in me” (Ps. 18:18,19).]

Psalm 18:49 “Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O LORD; I will sing praises to your name.”

[You are Lord, the God who fights for us. I remember the many times you protected me from many dangers: false accusations, from being put on trial twice for my faith, from legal attacks from a mentally ill lawyer, from the head of the national police personally pressuring me to leave, from an expulsion order from the attorney general of the country…and the list goes on. So now you can fight for me in my present danger. And you will!

You are worthy of glory and honor and exaltation and praise, for you are the Savior of all, especially of those who believe in you. You are worthy of being lifted up among the nations. You are the Most High, you are Lord, you are Sovereign, you are Good, all the time.

In every circumstance I can trust you, bow before you, follow your Word and know that you will work it all out. To you be glory and honor today as
