Psalm 70

It only took me a minute to read this psalm singing David's desperation. It is a short song that David may have repeated during the numerous times of terror that he faced. When the darkness of night watching the flock seemed too dark did David call out with the psalm. As David picked up those 5 stones did he hum this tune outloud? When the battle was pressing in did the future king of Israel sing these words? When Saul's army of vengance got too close were these the words David whispered under his breath? The words penned display not only the sense of urgency, but also the outlandish dependance upon God to deliver. Though he fought his enemies and fled from those seeking his life David left the control of life and death to the author of life.
