2nd Samuel 22:47. “The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.”
DAVID’S SONG. The Lord liveth – He who is eternal reveals Himself unmistakably The Lord is my rock – Secure and safe are those who trust Him completely The Lord hears – In times of danger from without rely on Him only The Lord answers – When distress threatens to overwhelm, He acts powerfully The Lord speaks – Nature moves at His biding to bring repentance quickly The Lord rebukes – And all that have opposed are defeated overwhelmingly The Lord secures – The storms rage outside but we dwell in a large place quietly The Lord rewards – faithfulness to Him is recompensed righteously The Lord guides – And the trusting soul moves forward confidently The Lord recompenses – Uprightness of life and holiness allow Him to act mercifully The Lord is light – His holiness and sinlessness shine brightly The Lord gives light – Those who were in darkness can now move forward assuredly The Lord gives His Word – there is no need to live in uncertainly The Lord is God – Eternal, unchanging, and committed to save His own eternally The Lord never fails – Enemies try to defeat His people but He delivers victoriously The Lord is exalted – He is praised and worshipped by those who love Him supremely The Lord is glorified – World-wide honor and appreciation is given to Him exclusively.
“What can I say to Thee, O Lord God, most High and Holy, that has not been already expressed. I repeat the words and thoughts of others before me who have tasted and seen that the Lord is good, and I make those my own. My heart is wanting to express all the “good matter” that rises up in me and can’t find a way out to be put into spoken words. So I open the doors of my mind to Thee and offer these things spoken and those unexpressed to Thee as praise and adoration to Thyself and for Thyself, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
