Yet another cry for help from David. It is fair to describe David's life as a battle, yet he got to know the Lord in the midst of the battle and experienced many victories. There may be times when your life seems like a battle, but by turning to Christ we can get through it, and we can get through it wiser, stronger and more joyful than before.
David felt weakness within himself, his heart growing faint. So he desires to get to "the rock that is higher than I". There is One who is stronger than us, and a place where we can be stronger than our natural strengths. That place is one of trusting in the Lord. Sometimes it is not easy to get to that place, but we should seek to get there with all our might, and we should call upon the Lord to help us. Jesus is the great high priest, and part of the role of a priest is to bring people into the presence of God.
Dwelling in the presence of God is the best place to be, it is the most secure place to be.
"May he be enthroned in Gods' presence". This is a prayer for David to be enthroned in God's presence, ie to be king in the presence of God. We all have different roles in life, fathers' husbands, bosses, workers etc. Whatever that role is, may we fulfil that role in the presence of the Lord.
