If you ever find yourself watching a mystery show on TV, whether
it is a recounting of something that actually happened or a fictional
story meant to entertain, you’ll find that the suspects are generally
those closest to the victim. Of course, this is a betrayal of the
greatest magnitude, since family is supposed to be loyal and dependably
protective of one another. But David writes this song to draw a
distinction between the roles of family or enemy. He begins by marveling
at the powerful people in the world who think they can oppose God.
Then he talks about his own relationship with the Lord, using terms that
speak of family and affection. The song ends with David making a
recommendation to everyone to choose to see God in His rightful place of
power and authority. Which side of this song describes you? Let’s
embrace the wisdom of the choice David calls us to in this song!
