"Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of Thy word."
word for law - word; The beginning of the 21st section, SCHIN. David has continued to repeatedly show and mention the enemies that are set against him. But he always concludes with hope and where his faith is found. HOw good to understand this. When everything of this life may be against us and problems seem insurrmountable, God is still there and able to do great and mighty things. Princes have persecuted me without a cause - the enemy of our Lord cares not for justice or righteouseness; The very fact that men do not do right, reveals they are not of our Lord. For our Lord is a God of righteousenss, 'Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'
Yes He shall, without one mistake. But this is a personal attack upon David by these princes. They ahve attacked him, and as David says, 'without a cause'. The enemy needs no excuse to attack. The simple fact that we are not of them, nor like them is enough for them to attack. They are pawns of Satan and he has no greater desire than to see the sons of God weakened, afflicted and cut off. Many a solider of the cross has fallen prey to such attack. The mind set today in many a Christian is that they need someone, they cannot just simply have God, they have to someone else. This causes men to rely on the arm of flesh for comfort, for strenth, for love, and for attention. Satan uses this co-existing attitude to lead astray. And when that arm of flesh fails them, they depart from the path, from the Presence fo the Lord.
