The Lord Hears the Needy

 Psalm 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song;
    I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the Lord more than an ox
    or a bull with horns and hoofs.
32 When the humble see it they will be glad;
    you who seek God, let your hearts revive.
33 For the Lord hears the needy
    and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.

This psalm is recognizable from the start as a psalm of David, beginning with the cry: Save me, O God! The imagery of the psalm (well-worth reading in its entirety, hint-hint) pictures him as tire of running and hiding from the many who are to get him. He cries out for deliverance, redemption, justice, and salvation.  But the real hope he has in God's answering is the very character of God: He hears the need and frees His people.  The answer begins when we, like David, recognize His Goodness and our neediness, and trust Him as our God and Savior.  Whatever your need, He will hear.
