Psalm 31:16 KJV

David declares himself to be the Lord’s servant even though he was anointed to be king. Every Christian should strive to be humble. When addressing God in prayer, it’s an attitude that’s very important. Even a monarch of the earth’s inhabitants ought to be humble enough to understand how limited and reliant he is on the ruler of the cosmos.

David prays to God for both unmerited favor and protection from his foes (Psalm 31:11–15). His request for help is based on his belief in the Lord’s unwavering love. Only because the Lord is kind and loving is it possible to triumph over difficult situations and persecution!

David decides to put his trust in the Lord even while he is in danger since God has before delivered him. David is certain that he will be vindicated despite the plots of his foes and the abandonment of his friends and neighbors. He also challenges others to choose to put their faith in God with courage and resolve.
