Psalm 56

It only took me a couple of minutes to read this psalm; composed by David the prisoner. I wonder if this was the apostle Paul's psalm too. All of those early leader understood what it meant to take up their cross and follow Jesus in his suffering. Paul's writing on the subject is very claer. Though he doesn't display the emotions of David, the same feelings must have been there. David makes it clear in this psalm that he and Paul shared the same response to imprisonment; turn to God and give him praise.(Vs 4 in the psalm, and Acts 16:25 for Paul) Taking a lesson from these two men of faith we need to remember to do the same when we face trials abd prisons.
