If David were with us today he might be singing the little chorus, "God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me. He answers prayer ... " This psalm reflects praise to God in acknowledgement of his mercy lavished upon the "Man after God's own heart."
David was on the run from jealous King Saul, and had just passed through a life-threatening situation from which he was mercifully delivered. Out of that experience comes the powerful words of praise and exaltation to God. Now he calls us to express our praises to God also (v. 3).
Several action words are in David's testimony of deliverance. In verse 4 he was seeking the Lord; the Lord answered; the result was freedom from fear. It has been said that the Lord expects to hear from us before we should expect to hear from him.
Verse 3 is an invitation in which we can all participate, "Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let's exalt his name together.
Thank you Lord, for your great goodness to us daily.
