verse 1:
I love you, LORD, my strength.
What are we doing that requires strength?
What are we failing to do because it requires strength?
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I love this because the author presents us with seemingly contradicting pictures of God.
We have security we are defended by: a rock, a fortress, a stronghold.
And yet we also have these wildly offensive depictions as well: a deliverer, a shield, a horn.
It is good having a God who we can both seek safety in and who will go out to battle for us.
