Our God is a mighty fortress.
A SONG OR PSALM OF DAVID
Psalm 108 is to be sung jubilantly as a national hymn.
It is composed by putting together Psalm 57:7 to verse 11 and Psalm 60:5 to verse 6. Why did David do this? Because he was lacking in words? No, there must be a divine purpose.
We have before us the Warrior’s Morning Song. With this Warrior’s Song, he adores his God to strengthen his heart before entering upon the conflicts of the day. David, in appealing to his God, sets up his banner in Jehovah’s name.
Division:
1. An utterance dictated by the spirit of praise (vv.1-5)
2. A second utterance evoked by the spirit of prayer (vv.6-12)
3. Conclusion: A final word of resolve (v.13) as he marches with his fellow soldiers to battle
“Thy right hand shall thy people aid
Thy faithful promise makes me strong
We will Philistine’s land invade
And over Edom chant the song.
Through Thee we shall most valiant prove
And tread the foe beneath our feet
Through Thee our faith shall hills remove
And shall as chaft the mountains beat.”
THOUGHT: God is our banner as we go to battle.
PRAYER: In Thy Name, Father, we shall win.
