2 Samuel 22:4
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
2 Samuel 22:4
David vows to call on the Lord, “who is worthy to be praised,” as the channels of salvation. The verse links praise and salvation; worship is the proper response to deliverance. The structure shows response theology: God acts; humans respond with praise.
Praise is not optional but fitting after divine intervention. Theologically, it’s a form of recognition of sovereignty and salvation. The verse grounds worship in experience.
- Develop a habit of praising God after trials, not just during triumphs.
- Use praise as a discipline to reframe difficulties, focusing on God’s sovereignty.
