karynjg Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (2 Samuel 22 = Psalm 18) What do you find the most inspiring in the language of this psalm? What encourages you the most? Write down all the various titles and metaphors used of God in this psalm. I love the richness, depth of emotion and imagery descriptions that David uses in his writing. He expresses deep devotion and respect for God and recognizes his need for God's mercy. When I read his psalms, I feel like it helps me articulate how I am feeling, and to praise God more fully. It is good and satisfying to focus on words like: Rock, fortress, shield, deliverer, refuge, savior, stronghold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crissy464 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 God’s power We can all learn a lot from David, who as we know is a man after "God's own heart"! David's love and praise for God inspires me even more to continue to shield myself with the power of God and most importantly to THANK him for ALL things!. God is strength God has power God saves God is the light God delivers me God is my refuge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmela Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Q1. (2 Samuel 22 = Psalm 18) What do you find the most inspiring in the language of this psalm? What encourages you the most? Write down all the various titles and metaphors used of God in this psalm. The language is very picturesque. Vivid scenes are portrayed. The imagery is amazing. It is encouraging to see that someone with such a wonderful gift uses it to praise our God, and we get to share in it all. Those of us without that talent can join in with the imagery he has portrayed and visualize our God also and just see Him in this positively powerful way. We get to experience God differently. my rock my fortress my deliverer my place of refuge my Saviour my shield my horn of salvation (my protection) my stronghold my refuge the hearer of my voice the hearer of my cries the one Who acts on my behalf, He speedily comes to my aid He takes hold of me He rescues me from many waters in fact He draws me out of the waters my support He rewards me He repays me He is loyal He is blameless He is pure He is shrewd with those who are crooked my lamp He is perfect my shield He keeps me blameless He gives me strength to be able to do impossible feats (v 34 - 46) the Rock of my Salvation worthy of praise the horn is the force used to push, scatter and destroy enemies and save from harm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
