This is an awesome Psalm that resonates with me in this day and time. I am going to memorize it and start confessing it over my own life everyday.

Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2013-03-26 04:23:58:

David is crying out to God to save him from the Zephites, who were countrymen; yet they were acting like strangers, because they did not put God before them. Always put the Lord before you, and your enemies will not triumph over you. God in His righteousness will judge us, and we must glorify Him when we are delivered from the hands of strangers. On this earth, we are pilgrims, and strangers, looking for a city whose builder, and maker is God. This world is not our home, we are just passing through. We walk by faith, and not by sight. Thank God that Jesus is at the right hand of the Father praying for us to finish the race, and we give Him the glory for the victory.
