A victorious God

Psalms 18 is quite lengthy at 50 verses--it spans almost two full pages in my Bible.

This Psalm tells of David proclaming victory over his enemies with the help of God as his protector.  In the first verse, he says, "Lord!  You are my defender."

David recalls enemies coming at him like waves and God coming down like a huge thunderstorm, raining hailstones and lightning down on His enemies.

God gave him strength to defeat his enemies.

Because David was faithful to God, He protected him and his descendents forever.
