Psalm 37:39-40

Psalm 37:39 The salvation of the righteous is from Yahveh, their refuge in a time of distress.

Psalm 37:40 Yahveh helps and delivers them; he will deliver them from the wicked and will save them because they take refuge in him.

he helps and delivers

First, the psalmist had invited us to look at the wicked, and notice that their wickedness does not last. Now, he invites us to look at the righteous. He wants us to notice that the times are numerous that just when you think their troubles have destroyed them, there is deliverance. A miracle happens. The psalmist’s point is that when that happens, it is indeed a miracle because God has stepped in and saved those who had put their trust in him.

Lord, we choose to take refuge in you.
