‏ Psalms 54:4

Consolations

This section is about David’s confidence and comfort when facing danger from his enemies. He trusts that God is on his side and will help him. David’s faith leads him to pray for deliverance, to trust God’s justice, and to promise thankful praise for God’s goodness. His words show the hope and security that come from relying on God even in times of trouble.

v. 4: Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. David boldly declares that God is his helper. He is confident that, because God supports those who help him, he does not need to fear anyone. God’s help is the reason he is able to keep going and not lose heart (Psalms 118:7 a).
