‏ Psalms 11:1

Trust in the LORD in Times of Danger

This psalm shows David’s strong decision to trust God, even when others tell him to run away. David’s faith is not shaken by fear or by the advice of those around him. He believes that God is his only true hope and that nothing else can give him real safety. The psalm also talks about the pressure David feels from friends or enemies who doubt God’s help. David teaches us that the foundations of faith are important, and if we lose our trust in God, we have nothing left to stand on.

v. 1: David says, In the Lord I put my trust . He makes it clear that his confidence is in God alone. Even when he has other things he could rely on, he chooses to trust only in God. He refuses to run away in fear, because he believes God will not let him down.
