“When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way” (3). The psalmist knew what it felt like to be burdened by troubles and isolation, to the point of hopelessness. At times, whether or not it was true, he felt like he had “no refuge” and no one who cared for him; no one was concerned that he was near the breaking point (4). But he poured out his complaint before the One who always hears and always responds (1-2).
“You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living” (5). We can run to the Lord, our refuge, knowing that we will find the strength we need. He comforts us and puts us on our feet again.
