Introduction

• This is a psalm of individual lament

• Verse 11 is the fulcrum on which the Psalm turns

• The lack of specific detail about the author’s own circumstances means that we can use this psalm ourselves in many situations

I am Needy (v 1-7)

• This is a model prayer, it is true for all of us all of the time

• The author is absolutely certain of God’s faithfulness …

• … he trusts completely in God alone

Great is Your Love (v 8-13)

• Brueggemann describes God as the “Worker of Wondrous Impossibilities”

• v11 is the crucial verse

Have Mercy on Me (v 14-17)

• There is a huge contrast between how life might seem to the godless and how life seems to the person with faith

• Note the absence of any “victim mentality” here

Application

What have we learnt this morning?  

• We are poor and needy

• We can be absolutely certain of God’s faithfulness

• Our heart should be undivided
