This Psalm is a great reminder that our path is not always smooth. Quite the contrary, it seems our path is often rough and yet, we can know—we can have assurance—of making it through because of three ideas presented in this Psalm of David.





The psalm is an acrostic poem: each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
