David, praying to God in confidence of his word, complains of his enemies,9. He professes his confidence in God's word, and promises to praise him When I am afraid This phrase acknowledges the reality of fear, a common human experience. In the biblical context, fear often arises from external threats, such as enemies or natural disasters. David, the psalmist, frequently faced danger, including from King Saul and the Philistines. Fear is not condemned in Scripture but is presented as an opportunity to turn to God. The Bible often records God's people experiencing fear, such as the Israelites at the Red Sea (Exodus 14:10) or the disciples during the storm (Mark 4:38). This phrase sets the stage for a response of faith. I put my trust in You Persons / Places / Events 1. DavidThe author of Psalm 56, David was a shepherd, warrior, and king of Israel. He often faced fear and danger, which he expressed in his psalms. 2. Philistines A significant enemy of Israel during David's time. David wrote Psalm 56 when the Philistines seized him in Gath, highlighting his personal experience of fear and reliance on God. 3. Gath A Philistine city where David sought refuge while fleeing from King Saul. It was here that David experienced fear and penned this psalm. Teaching Points Trust Overcomes FearTrusting in God is a deliberate choice we make when faced with fear. David exemplifies this by turning to God in his moments of fear. God as a Refuge Just as David found refuge in God amidst his enemies, we too can find safety and peace in God's presence when we are afraid. Faith in Action Trusting God requires active faith. It involves prayer, meditation on His Word, and recalling His past faithfulness. Emotional Honesty with God David's psalms show that we can be honest with God about our fears. God invites us to bring our anxieties to Him. Consistency in Trust Trusting God should be a consistent practice, not just in times of crisis. Building a habit of trust prepares us for when fear arises.(3) What time.--Heb., yom, apparently with same meaning as beyom in Psalm 56:10, "in the day."
