[Psalm 3:1-8] This psalm of David has a superscription that sets the scene for this psalm of lament that turns by the end into confidence in the Lord's protection as he flees from his son Absalom. How ought we to respond in the face of opposition and adversaries, including the spiritual forces of evil? We should turn to and trust in the Lord God as our refuge as we walk in righteousness, crying out to Him in prayer in our times of need.
