People like to complain about God, but the way God appears is dependent upon the condition of our heart. If we are faithful and pure we will find God to be faithful and pure. But if we are devious we will find that God can outwit us quite easily. The Lord favours the humble over the proud. This is a fundamental tenant of the Bible.
The Lord keeps our lamps burning. In the midst of a struggle He supplies us with strength, and gives us light in dark times. So no matter what the circumstances we can have confidence that in Christ we are able to overcome.
David then continues with further attributes of God. His way is perfect and His word flawless. There is no one like our God. The Lord equips us with His attributes. Here David talks about being trained for war. Now the through the Holy Spirit we are sanctified and made more and more like Christ.
So David was able to pursue and defeat his enemies, and David reigned victorious. David endured many difficulties, and at times defeat seemed certain, but in the end it was his enemies who were defeated, because of the saving power of the Lord.
