Psa 35:9

And my soul shall rejoice in the LORD;
It shall exult in His salvation.

Does your soul rejoice in the Lord?
Does it rejoice only in good times?

Now, read the context…

Psa 35:1-8

A Psalm of David.
Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.

Take hold of buckler and shield
And rise up for my help.

Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me;
Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”

Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.

Let them be like chaff before the wind,
With the angel of the LORD driving them on.

Let their way be dark and slippery,
With the angel of the LORD pursuing them.

For without cause they hid their net for me;
Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.

Let destruction come upon him unawares,
And let the net which he hid catch himself;
Into that very destruction let him fall.

David had people contending against him.
David called on the Lord to fight against those that fought against him.

David called for the Lord to:

• Fight
• Rise up to help
• Shield
• Draw the spear/battle axe
• Declare to David that “I am your salvation”

• Shame them
• Dishonor them
• Turn them back
• Humiliate them
• Drive them on
• Be as chaff
• Let their way be dark/slippery
• Bring destruction upon them
• Catch them in their own nets
