PSALM 3
DAVID FLEES FROM HIS SON ABSALOM
David wrote this psalm while fleeing from his son Absalom. 2 Samuel 15 recalls Absalom attempting to overthrow David’s kingdom.
David is hurting and afraid, concerned about the fate of Jerusalem. With Absalom’s leadership on the rise, David feels as though thousands of men are against him. Even when his own family has become his adversary, David trusts God and calls upon His justice and judgment.
Psalm 3:3 ESV - "But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head."
