Psalm 59

It took me about 2 minutes to read this psalm. The introduction to the psalm says David wrote this while hiding in his house as King Saul's assassins closed in on him. There are probably fewer things more terrifying then to realize you are a target in your own house. David's father-in-law sought his life because of his jealousy. David's wife gave him the opportunity to escape with his life by claiming he was sick in bed. David might have felt abandoned by God, but there is no mention of a perceived absence from David's pen. Like so many other psalms David ends the song with a stanza of praise and admiration of God's nature. He refers to God's love as dependable. David had experienced God's dependable love fequently by this time of his life, and he continued to expect God's love to shine through; even as he fled from his house and his wife. That leads to a question I need to ask myself when the status quo of my life is threated: am I trusting in God to deliver in his way on his schedule?
