LORD, how they have increased who
trouble me!
Many are they who rise up against me.
Many are they who say of me,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah
But You, O LORD, are a shield for me,
My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
(Ps. 3:1–3)
Did you notice the selah in the psalm? You will
find such “selah moments” throughout David’s
psalms. That means David paused . . . and listened.
In those moments, David turned his eyes from
his troubles and looked to his God. In those
moments, I believe he remembered afresh that he did
not have to fight his battles for the Lord of hosts
fought for him (1 Sam. 17:45–47). He remembered
afresh the God who had delivered him from the paw
of the lion and the paw of the bear, the God who
overcame Goliath without sword or spear. And as he
looked to the Lord, he strengthened himself in the
Lord (1 Sam. 30:6), and that’s when things started to
change.
