Chapter 63: David “Thirsts” for God.
A Psalm of David, when he was in
the wilderness of Judah.
David tells us that his “…soul
thirsteth for thee [God], my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is;” (Psalms 63:1)
David praises god, even
in his hardest times. He tells us that those who seek to destroy us will be
dealt with accordingly if we praise God.
Chapter 64: David Prays for Safety
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of
David.
David
prays for his safety and exclaims that the evil men “Who whet their tongue like a
sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words.” (Psalms
63:3). David is of course speaking of the evil men who can cause much
damage with the words that leave their mouth as they can by any other means.
But we
learn that those evil men, with their bitter words will make “…their
own tongue to fall upon themselves…” (Psalms 63:8) In other words, they
will be caught in their lies and because of this they will fall and those who
do not declare the work of the Lord and fear Him shall perish.
