He speaks about how God heard his cry for mercy (verse 1), how when he was in great need, God saved him (verse 6), how the Lord had been good to him (verse 7) and delivered him from death (verse 8). God has been so good to him that he ends full of thanksgiving for both his past and his future (verses 15-16); and builds to a great crescendo of praise, (verses 17-19). We see that his relationship with God was his top priority and that God heard and answered his prayers. He gives thanks in the ‘presence of all his people’ (verses 14 & 19). Let’s stay close to God and be sure to celebrate his goodness with each other! I will give thanks to you Lord for all your goodness in my life. Thank you that you have rescued and delivered in so many amazing ways. Hallelujah!
