I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me."
Meditation
I: not somebody else, not my friend, or my mom, or my sister
Will: I'll do it, not gonna leave it to chance, going to will myself
Call: I'll cry out for you Lord, I'll say your name and ask for you
Upon the Lord: I'll cry out for you, not for anything else to save me, just you, b/c you alone are Lord
Who is worthy to be praised: I'll call upon you because you are God, and you inspire praise in every situation just by the fact of your Deity and also by your wonderful acts
So: in this way, and this is the only way
Shall I: It's not a matter of question or a matter of chance, it's a sure thing
Be saved: you will deliver me, you will rescue me
From my enemies: from everything that is against me, from the orchestrations of hell, from the traps of my flesh, from the people who seek to do me evil
Application
If I was in this situation, I don't know what I would do right now. If
death encompassed me and "sorrows of hell" were all around me, I'm not
sure how I would stand. God, I need to learn to call upon you more often. When I am at work faced with a distressing situation, when I am in bed struggling with my flesh to get up and seek you....That's when I need to call upon you. Even if these things aren't as serious as death, they're still my enemies seeking to rob me of joy and of my communion with you. Stress and laziness are my enemies.
And in the future, when i am scared and facing a situation like death I will also call upon you and be confident in the fact that I will be saved.
Memorization
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
