Psalm 108

In about 1 minute I read this psalm that David penned. I picture the warrior-king rising before the sun so he can come to God before Israel enters a battle. As soon as he stirs he thoughts, hopes, and yearnings all move to God's throne. I picture the army of Israel waking to the melodic voice of their worshipping leader. David doesn't be a drum or raise a trumpet to prepare for battle; he sings a song of God's power. Before the dawn breaks over the hills or the birds start to sing David sings; "I'm ready, O God." A song before the battle makes about as much sense as a march around a walled city(Joshua 6), or 300 men with torches and trumpets surrounding an army of thousands(Judges 7). But God never looses a battle.
