With the exception of Psalm 10, the titles of these psalms credit David with their authorship. When during his lifetime he wrote them is unknown; but some of these seem to have been written during the heat of battle.
Psalm 10
- A wicked person does not have God in all his thoughts (Psalm 10:4). Are you wicked?
Psalm 11
- If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do (Ps 11:3)? Is Christ the foundation of your faith in God (1 Corinthians 3:11)? Is the Word of Christ the foundation of your knowledge of God (Luke 6:48-49)? Are you surprised that unbelievers work so hard to shake our confidence in the scriptures and in the historicity of Christ?
Psalm 12
- See the contrast between the vain, flattering and proud words of men and the pure words of the Lord.
Psalm 13
- How long… (Psalm 13:1-2 – four times)? Have you ever asked God, “How long”?
Psalm 15
- Who can dwell with God? Does anyone really qualify except the Lord Jesus?
Psalm 16
- Compare Psalm 16:10 with its New Testament interpretation in Acts 2:25-31 and Acts 13:35-38. Now read Psalm 16 again looking for Jesus.
Psalm 17
- Ask David how he kept out of trouble, and he would say, “by following God’s word” (Psalm 17:4).
