Give Thanks to God for His Help!

Psalm 109

 30 With my mouth I will give great thanks to the Lord;
    I will praise him in the midst of the throng.
31 For he stands at the right hand of the needy one,
    to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.

This is one of the many psalms of David which begins with him calling out to God to hear his plea for help.  He was being mistreated, pursued, and spoken evil of unjustly.  He pleaded his cause before God, trusting in Him as the God of justice to help the poor, needy, and oppressed.  He points out all the ways that the wicked take advantage: they lie, they hate, they attack.  David then hands them over to God to deal with.  For his part, he entrusts himself to God. He states:

26 Help me, O Lord my God!

    Save me according to your steadfast love!

27 Let them know that this is your hand;

    you, O Lord, have done it!

Let us not forget to call out to God for help, and let us not forget to give Him thanks when He does, pointing to Him as the One Who has done it!
