Psalms 56, 34, 57, 142, 108, 60

PsalmsSteve Gregg
In his presentation, Steve Gregg discusses six psalms, namely Psalms 56, 34, 57, 142, 108, and 60. He explains that the first four psalms were written during a dangerous situation where David was fleeing from Saul and seeking refuge in Philistine city Gath. Nonetheless, the historical context of these psalms reveal that they all emphasize the importance of putting trust in God despite adversity and enemies. Furthermore, the psalms also express the Lord's protection and deliverance from troubles, and the importance of humility, contrition, and righteousness.
