This is so powerful to read in chronilogical order! To read the passage of Saul's final days, his last sins, his death and then David's Psalm proclaiming God to be His Rock and His Fortress - WOW!
David gives all credit to the Lord for His protection and defense. He praises God for taking delivering him once and for all from the hands of his enemies (namely Saul) and he credits God with the victory.
Jeremiah 9:23-24 says,
"Thus says the Lord, let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord."
May we find ourselves rejoicing in God when He delivers us from the hands of our enemies. May we find ourselves giving Him all the credit and when we boast, boasting only of Him.
(Don't miss the next chapter in II Samuel...you won't want to miss what happens next. A word of warning...it's convicting!)
