Yet YOU...

 

Psalm 22: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
    Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
    and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are holy,
    enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4 In you our fathers trusted;
    they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried and were rescued;
    in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

The opening verse of this psalm of David is well-known, being quoted by Christ on the cross.  In this psalm David alternates back and forth between his present condition of being surrounded, scared, and suffering and the assurance that God is present and has not forsaken him. As he turns his eyes upon God, he transitions his statements with phrases like "Yet You", "But You", or "From You." By the end of the psalm he has not only assured himself that God will hear and deliver, but also enjoins us all to turn to the Lord, bow down to Him in worship, and trust Him with our concerns.
