Psalm 56

David wrote Psalm 56 in Gath while he was fleeing from Saul (see 1 Samuel 21:10-12). This psalm expresses the kind of confindence in Jehovah that His children should have in Him when they find themselves in terrrifying circumstances. David's natural inclination is to panic (Psalm 56:3-4, 11), but he ultimately replaces his terror with the composure of trust.

1. Fear and Faith (56:1-4)
2. Destroyer and Deliverer (55:5-9)
3. Trust and Thanksgiving (56:10-13)

Read Psalm 56 and learn to trust in Him when you find yourself in terrifying situations.
