Let’s take a moment and consider these verses tucked in the middle of Psalm 9.
The Lord also (in addition to all the other things He does)
Will be a refuge (a shelter, a safehouse, a stronghold)
For the oppressed, (the burdened, the crushed, the discouraged, the depressed)
A refuge in times of trouble. (heartache, frustration, uncertainty)
And those who know Your name (Your character, Your promises)
Will put their trust (their confidence, their hope)
In You; (The God Who Sees)
For You, Lord, (The Sovereign Master)
Have not forsaken (abandoned, turned away, disowned, ignored)
Those who seek (hunt, reach for, hunger for)
You. (Your heart, Your healing, Your touch, Your presence)
Psalm 9:9-10
