“Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!” (v1). The psalmist shows us that we can call on God, trusting that He “has our back”, no matter what. We often feel that life is a battle we cannot win, and we aren’t sure who is trustworthy. Even when we try to do right, we are “repaid” with trouble (v12). But amidst threats, doubts, and even self-accusation, we hear the Lord’s unchanging assurance: “I am your salvation!” (v3).
God promises to not let us be “swallowed up” by life’s troubles (v25). We can trust that He delights in our well-being and is always at work for our good (v27).
