A Word

The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—whom shall I dread?

What it means

David lets two questions do the work of an argument. If the LORD is light, salvation, and stronghold, then fear has no one left to point at.

A psalm of David that moves from bold confidence to honest pleading. Both belong to the same prayer.

Where it addresses you

  • Someone or something has you afraid.

  • You need to talk yourself out of dread.
