Psalm 31 – The complexity of faith

• Trust does not preclude distress, and distress does not preclude praise
• 1-8: Trust
  • 1-2: Asking God to be…
  • 3-5: what he already is…
  • 6-8: unlike worthless idols
• 9-18: Distress
  • 9-10: Deep distress…
  • 11-12: because people have turned against me…
  • 13: because schemers have whispered falsehoods about me
  • 14-18: But I still trust
• 19-24: Praise
