In Psalm 37, David addresses the question so many of us ask, “If the wages of sin is death (Genesis 2:17, Romans 6:23,) then why do so many wicked seem to prosper.” David’s assurance is that God will vindicate the righteous.

In James 4:7, the James, the half brother of Jesus gives a short and succint instruction on how to stand firm in the face of trials and tribulation. “Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil and he will flee.” Paul gives further instruction in Ephesian 6:10-18 where he talks about the armor of God and how to prepare to stand firm. All of these was preceded by David, who in Psalm 35 also references the armor of God and God’s salvation, Yeshua.

This collection of Psalms includes both praise and the prophetic. In Psalm 33, David reiterates his common refrain to trust in the Lord. Whatever the
circumstance or situation, God alone is our ultimate hope, to put one’s confidence in anything else is foolishness.
