… I need that song again today. And then the second half of Psalm 108, verses 6 through 13, they're from Psalm 60, where David expresses some distress and battle against Edom. But this time, by the end of the psalm, with God's help, he leads God's people to victory over the enemy. They wipe out 12,000 soldiers in battle that day. With God's help, they did valiantly. They prevailed. And so David reaches back for the old praise, for these memories of when God came through for him, when he demonstrated his love and faithfulness. And as David reaches back for old praise in these new trials, he teaches us to do that. City's Church, I want you to know these psalms well enough that you have them when you need them. and when God answers your prayers the psalm encourages us when God answers your prayers praise him write it down memorialize it in some way write a psalm we talked about that in psalm 98 praise him with a new psalm write a new psalm of praise to him for what he's done for you so that in the future when your prayers go unanswered for weeks or months or years and you're tempted to think that God has rejected you, you have a song to sing. He's given us so many songs to sing. So we groan feeling the awful weight of sin and all of its consequences and we praise God, remembering that God's love and his faithfulness are so much bigger than all that we feel and fear. David teaches us here third …
So, they're all joined together. They're David Psalms. But they're also joined together because each of them make reference to the right hand. Psalm 108, verse 6, that your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer me. The very end of Psalm 109, verse 31, for he stands at the right hand of the needy one to save him from those who condemn his soul to death. And now here in Psalm 110, we start out, sit at my right hand. These three are going together to form a little unit, reaching their conclusion in Psalm 110, that they might know, go back to Acts 2, that this Jesus is the one they've been waiting for. Look at verse 36. Let all the house of Israel therefore know, Peter's coming to the conclusion of his sermon, For certain, absolutely for sure. Same word when Luke writes the most excellent Theophilus. He says, I want you to be sure. I want you to be certain of all of these things that have happened among us. …
… Let your glory be over all the earth, that your beloved ones may be delivered. Give salvation by your right hand and answer me. God has promised in his holiness. With exaltation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the valley of Sukkot. Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is my helmet. Judah my scepter. Moab is my wash basin. Upon Edom I cast my shoe, and Philistia I shout in triumph. Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies. O, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man with god we shall do valiantly it is he who will tread down our foes The key to understanding this psalm is to realize that what makes the psalm appear forgettable is actually what makes it so amazing and memorable. So, stick with me to the end, and I hope and pray that by the end you'll be able to say, I am never going to read this psalm the same way again. They say, careful, pastor, that's a lot of hype for the sermon. Well, I'm not hyping the sermon. I am hyping this psalm, God's Word and the Christ whose Word it is. …
