Psalm 18
This song is an end zone dance. David is celebrating the victory over Saul that God provided. David trusted in God's selection of His king. David believed he was next in line, but he also refused to end Saul's reign until God ended it. David passed up opportunity after opportunity to take matters into his own hands. He did not act against God's anointed, expecting God's sovereign choice to be respected. This song is a celebration of deliverance and initiation. Saul's threats were done, David's head bore the crown. God faithfully saves His elect and destroys His enemies.
After SO MANY psalms and chapters describing David's ordeal at the hands of Saul, I can only imagine how GOOD it felt to write this psalm!
