Pastor Matt Murphy guides us in a psalm emphasizing the rescuing and redeeming love of God.

Scripture reading

Psalm 18:1-3, 16-19


"1I love you, O Lord, my strength.

2The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,

and I am saved from my enemies."


"16 He sent from on high, he took me;

he drew me out of many waters.

17He rescued me from my strong enemy

and from those who hated me,

for they were too mighty for me.

18They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

19He brought me out into a broad place;

he rescued me, because he delighted in me."
