But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
This psalm was written while David was fleeing as his own son, Absalom, was attempting to take over David’s kingdom. The emotions in this psalm run strong and well they should. Yet in the midst of this turmoil David cries out to God to be his shield. God is ultimately the one who lifts our head from our current circumstances. As we cry aloud God will answer! ~ Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
