"But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord, I say, 'You are my God.'" (v.14)
This psalm is about trusting in the LORD no matter the circumstances.
In the face of trouble, David took refuge in the LORD and proclaimed his faith in God’s strength, trustworthiness, loving care, and ability to rescue and guide him (vv.1-5). He believed that God saw and understood the anguish of his soul and had already responded with grace (v.8). And, though David speaks of great affliction and anguish (vv.10-13), he does so trusting that the LORD will preserve him (v.14).

David was a real person, with real trials, who cried out to the Lord over and over again. But, he also praised Him, gave thanks to Him, and even credited God with answered prayer before it happened.
May God strengthen us all with this kind of trust in Him.
May God strengthen us all with this kind of trust in Him.
The Truth: "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.” (Psalm 125:1)
