A psalm of confidence in God’s ability to protect, provide shelter
A psalm recognizing man’s need to find his safety in God

But toiling in life’s dusty way, the Rock’s blessed shadow, how sweet.”

Or climbing the mountain way steep, Or walking the shadowy vale.”

16. Jesus is the “stone rejected of men”… but the “Cornerstone” of the everlasting kingdom of God Isa 28:16 Eph 2:20
His permanence is what makes our lives stable and secure…gives us hope
As we worship God, may we truly desire to say with David…
