Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
12. W M I H T F T L H S H T I T W T H S C
He claims his interest in God, and expresses his faith and confidence in him, in the midst of all his troubles (see note on Psalm 7:1).
“Let me not be ashamed”: Meaning of his trust in God, by being disappointed of the help, deliverance, and salvation from him, which he trusted in him for. And the believer, as he has no reason to be ashamed of God, the object of his trust. So neither of the act of his hope or trust in him; nor shall he; for hope makes not ashamed (see Psalm 119:116; Rom. 5:5).
“Let not mine enemies triumph over me”: Either his temporal enemies, his subjects that were risen up against him. Or his spiritual enemies, Satan, and the men of the world, who rejoice and triumph when the saints are forsaken by God. And they are ready to say, as David’s enemies did of him, there is no help or salvation for him in God (Psalm 3:2), when they fall into their hands, or fall by them.
Notice he says, my God. This shows that God is a God of individuals. God is not God of collective groups. Salvation is individual. He saves us one at a time. God is trustworthy. We can safely place our trust in Him. One of the arguments Moses gave God for not destroying all the Israelites at the foot of mount Sinai, was so the heathen world would not look on and think that God had let His people down. Faith or trust in God will not go unnoticed. We may sometimes think God is not going to answer our prayer, but He does in His own time.
