Psalms 64

Psalms 64THEME: The evil may win, but God will judge themThis psalm also has a historical background in the life of David, although we can’t locate it exactly. Prophetically, it looks yonder in the future to the day when Israel will be in Great Tribulation and the godly remnant will use this psalm. Someone might say, “My, there certainly are a lot of psalms for the Day of Jacob’s Trouble.” Yes, there are, and the people are going to need every one of them. Also, this is a very fine psalm for you and me.

Psalms 64:1

Once again, David is asking God to hide him. David prayed this kind of prayer time and time again. His refuge was prayer. It was the only refuge he had. Prayer is the only refuge Israel will have in that day of tribulation. This brief psalm concludes with David expressing his confidence in God. His God was his only hope.

Psalms 64:7

As I look at the world today, I have come to the conclusion that our hope is no longer in statesmen or politicians; our hope is no longer in science or educationthey are all more or less failures. We are going to have to do what David did and what Israel will do in the futurestart looking up. God is our only hope today.
