The Lord Vindicates The Righteous

In Sermons
Scripture: Psalm 143
Topics: Doctrine of Glorification, Doctrine of Justification, Doctrine of Sanctification,
Contributor: Joel Webbon

David desires deliverance not only for his own personal welfare, but for the glory of God. David says, “In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!” In other words, he rightly recognizes that if the Lord chooses to rescue him from his enemies, it will be due to two things: Mercy & Righteousness. Mercy toward David, because he too is a sinner. And righteousness towards his enemies who deserve God’s judgment. Therefore, David asks the Lord to “teach [him] to do [God’s] will.” This request is not made so that David can earn God’s favor by his own obedience, but so that David might at least grow in obedience to the point where God’s judgment on his enemies (and choice to spare David) will be viewed as a “righteous” (just) act on God’s part.

David calls himself a “sojourner” because he recognizes that he is radically distinct from the many who surround him. There are many distinctions between the people of God and the people of this world, but here David chooses to name only one: Sight (or understanding). David refers to himself as a stranger because he possesses the gift of sight in …

The psalmist is not content to merely “know” the precepts of the Lord, but to “understand” these precepts. Inother words, he possesses an insatiable desire to logically flesh out the intimate workings of God’s Law so that he might apply them in practical ways to every area of his life.

According to his sovereign election, God has decreed from eternity past that he might save a people for himself from among every tongue, people, and nation. In the same way that God predestined the ends, namely that the nations would be saved, God also predestined the means, namely that the Gospel would be preached to all peoples. And not only …

In this psalm, David is not praying to the Lord. Instead, he is doing what all Christians should regularly do: David is preaching the Gospel to himself. David is not listening to his feelings and following his heart. David is recounting the promises of the Gospel and preaching to his soul. Rather than succumbing to his feelings of discouragement, David …
