PSALM 9

One of the things that you can look for on your Psalm page for "Points of interest to study further" is the making of a list. When you see many different facets of a topic being mentioned in a Psalm like; God's characteristics, the joy of the believer, our reliance on Him, etc., you can make a list of them in order to draw out the meaning and application from the Psalm.

For Psalm 9 I saw a whole list of things God does for the oppressed. This is my list: He is a shelter for the oppressed, a fair and just judge, He doesn't abandon those that search for Him, He avenges murder and cares for the helpless, He doesn't ignore their cries, and He lifts the hopes of the poor.

This is a great list to read to yourself or share with another when they are being oppressed. Remember, God won't abandon you when you search for Him!
God bless!

  1. No matter the magnitude of persecution against those of faith, our enemies will come to harm. God will protect those who seek him out and reduce our enemies to ineffectiveness.
    How comforting to know that no matter how strong or wicked our enemies are, God is on our side and we shall be saved.
