Psalm 18 is [[David]]'s hymn of thanksgiving, on his accession to the throne. After years of flight from [[Saul]] the kingdom was now firmly established. [[David]] attributed it all to [[God]], his Strength, Rock Fortress, Deliverer, Stay, Refuge, Shield, Horn, and High Tower. This is one of the best [[Psalms]].

+

[[God]]'s revelation to man is the theme of Psalm 19. It is amazing that [[God]] speaks to us at all! Men are sinners and have no desire to listen to [[God]], yet He graciously continues to speak. The closing prayer of this Psalm is one of the best prayers in the entire [[Bible]]. "Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O [[Lord]], my strength, and my redeemer." [[God]]'s [[Word]] is perfect, sure, true, gives joy, and is sweeter than honey!

+

This prayer should be on our lips and in our hearts throughout each day. The meditation of our heart controls the words of our mouth. The [[Word]] "meditation" used here has the image of a musician plucking the strings of a harp. Who controls the music of your heart? Is it [[God]] or [[Satan]]? Meditation is to the heart what digestion is to the body. It is the taking of the [[Word]] of [[God]] and making it a part of the inner man. As the heart and mind think on the [[Word]] of [[God]], the [[Spirit]] guides the life. Is your [[Bible]] all to you that [[God]] wants it to be? Read this Psalm again and ask [[God]] to enable you to [[love]] the Word, to live in the Word, and to obey the Word.

Psalm 20 is a song of trust. It seems to be a battle hymn, with prayer for [[victory]] as [[David]] entered battle. His trust was not in chariots and horses, but in the [[Lord]].
