Listen from:
This Psalm is like the words of the “remnant” in the tribulation. But these people are so close to the Lord that their words are like the Lord’s own words.
V.1-3 He is light first and salvation, and strength. Anything more needed?
V.4 King David loved the Lord so much he wanted to dwell, or live in the house of the Lord. And he wanted it “all the days of my life” not just occasionally. “To behold the beauty of the Lord”. Do you notice the difference between this verse, “all the days of my life”, and the last 12 words of Psa. 23?
V.5 Sometimes it takes a time of trouble to make us feel our need of the presence of the Lord.
V.8 The Lord wants us to seek His face, or to keep close to Himself.
V.11 This is a very good prayer for all of us. We so often want our own way.
V.14 Not always easy to do. But the secret of strength!
