Jump to Previous ChiefDavidHasteHelpHurryJeduthunMusicianPsalmQuicklySalvationSaviorJump to Next ChiefDavidHasteHelpHurryJeduthunMusicianPsalmQuicklySalvationSaviorPsalm 38 1.David moves God to take compassion on his pitiful caseCome quickly to help meThis phrase reflects a sense of urgency and desperation in the psalmist's plea. The psalmist, traditionally understood to be David, often found himself in situations requiring immediate divine intervention. This urgency is echoed in other Psalms, such as Psalm 70:1, where David similarly cries out for swift assistance. The cultural context of ancient Israel was one where immediate threats, whether from enemies or personal afflictions, were common, necessitating quick responses. The plea for God to "come quickly" underscores the psalmist's reliance on God as his primary source of aid and protection, a theme prevalent throughout the Psalms. O Lord
The use of "Lord" here is significant, as it translates to "Yahweh," the covenant name of God revealed to Moses inExodus 3:14. This name emphasizes God's eternal presence and faithfulness to His people. By invoking this name, the psalmist is appealing to the God who has historically been faithful to Israel, recalling the covenantal relationship that assures divine intervention and support. This invocation is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His role as the ultimate authority and protector. my Savior
The term "Savior" highlights the psalmist's recognition of God as the one who delivers and redeems. In the Old Testament, God is frequently depicted as the deliverer of Israel, rescuing them from physical and spiritual adversities. This concept of God as Savior is foundational and finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is recognized as the Savior of the world (John 4:42). The psalmist's use of "my Savior" is personal, indicating a deep, individual relationship with God, and foreshadows the personal salvation offered through Christ. This phrase encapsulates the hope and trust placed in God for deliverance from all forms of distress. Persons / Places / Events 1.
