Psalms 138:7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
138:7. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me. God is with me, and will give me new life. When we are somewhat in trouble it is bad enough, but it is worse to traverse its midst: yet in such a case the believer makes progress, for he walks; he keeps to a quiet pace, for he does no more than walk; his God is near to pour fresh life into him. If our God be away at any other time, yet he is pledged to be with us in trying hours. He is in a blessed condition who can confidently use the language of David—thou wilt revive me. How often has the Lord quickened us by our sorrows! Are they not his readiest means of exciting to fullness of energy the holy life which dwells within us?
Thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. This is the fact which would revive fainting David. Our foes fall when the Lord comes to deal with them; he makes short work of the enemies of his people—with one hand he routs them. God’s right hand cannot forget its cunning; Jerusalem is his chief joy, and he will defend his own elect.
