Psalm 18
I. GOD is my Strength. (vs 1-17) see vs 1
A. Strength appreciated! (vs 1) I will love
B. Strength visualized (vs 2) The Lord is my......
C. Strength requested (vs 3-6) The sorrows of death / hell
D. Strength demonstrated (vs 7-17) A storm from God
II.God is my Stay. (vs 18-36) see vs 18
This word is found only in 2Sam 22:19, here in Psalm 17, and in Isaiah 3:1
The context of Isaiah 3:1-10 Illustrates the idea of God being David's stay very well
The stay and staff of Isaiah 3:1 are from the same root.
A. The staff
As one leans on the staff for support in travel and personal deportment.
David knew what a staff was (Psalm 23:4) thy staff – the tool of the shepherd. He was a shepherd.
But the staff can also have bad implications Ezk 29:6-8
B. The Stay
But there is a distinction. David did not say staff here but stay. God was not his crutch, a third appendage that he picked up,
NO! God was his full support.
Isaiah 3:1 – the stay of bread and water demonstrates the complete necessity for the survival of man! Without bread and water man will die.
De 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
David attributes all the good and blessings that he has enjoyed as being the sole response of God to him.!
The idea of stay has the idea of complete trust and only in the object of trust.
Look at the believer's salvation! Trust is reliance on God without a back up plan.
1. The benefits of God being your stay: (vs 19)
a. Brought into a large place
b. Delivered
c. Delighted in
2. The Beginnings of God being your stay (vs 21-38)
a. Keeping God's Word (21-28)
lighten – Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
b. Keeping a humble attitude (vs 29-36)
look at all the times David gives the honor and glory to God for what was accomplished.
c. Keeping a faithful loyalty. (vs 37-39)
Who your enemies are says much about you!
III. God is my Salvation. (vs 37 -50) see vs 46
Great deliverance – vs 50
Ps 74:12 ¶ For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Isa 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Psalm 17
I. God's Sentence (vs 1-3)
God's judgment of David was not a scary or terrifying situation to David.
David was ready for it, David longed for it.
He was confident in his righteous behavior.
He was confident in his just condition.
David had been proven of the Lord! (vs 3)
II. God's Salvation (vs 4-7)
A. God's deliverance is in His word (vs 4)
B. God's deliverance is in his path (vs 5)
C. God's deliverance is in his response to prayer (vs 6)

III. God's Shadow (vs 8-12)
A. Keep me as The apple of the eye.
How God has proven his care of man by placing the eye in such a protected position!
1)The bone structure of the face!
2)The resilience of the eye itself
3)The quick response of the eyelid
4)The filter of the eyelash and eyebrow
5)The proximity of the hands
Zec 2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
B. Hide me under the shadow of thy wings
Mt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Beneath her fostering wing the HEN defends
Her darling offspring, while the snow descends;
Throughout the winter's day unmoved defies
The chilling fleeces and inclement skies;
Till, vanquish'd by the cold and piercing blast,
True to her charge, she perishes at last!
O Fame! to hell this fowl's affection bear;
Tell it to Progne and Medea there:-
To mothers such as those the tale unfold,
And let them blush to hear the story told!-T. G.
IV. God's Sword (vs 13-14)
Hab 1:12 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
Isa 10:5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
V.God's Satisfaction (vs 15)
Some might argue with me and say that this is David's satisfaction, but I would reply that without God's grace, and God's work in our hearts, we would not seek after God.
We love him because he first loved us! 1Jn 4:19
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Phil 1:6
