Psalm 56

"In God I trust" This is the motto of the United States. Long before it was a political statement to counterbalance communism is was a statement of confidence in this and other psalms. The real power in that phrase is displayed in the words that follow; "I shall not be afraid. What can flesh (men) do to me?" David trusted in God in his times of fear. I don't know if the fear melted away or was gone in an instant. But trusting in God must have replaced the fear of men. Faith overcomes enemies and God receives the praise and adoration that he deserves.
It took me almost 3 minutes to read this psalm.
