Salvation Belongs to the Lord

Pastor Gordon shows how the Lord is David's shield, the lifter of his head, and the God who gives his beloved sleep, and why this psalm sits at the beginning of the Psalter. Connecting Psalm 3 to Psalm 2, he points to Jesus, David's greater Son and Lord, who endured rejection and exile so that believers can trust that salvation belongs to the Lord and his blessing rests on his people.
