Beautiful truth fills this Psalm, truth that was foundational for David as he was being tracked through the wilderness like a hunted lion As I struggle, meditating on 1-2, some new possibilities are arising. I didn't understand the first word of vs. 2 "thus" "so". It didn't read right. But as I stay there, I see something I haven't seen before. Both the words "Thus" and "so" can mean: "to an indicated or suggested extent or degree" (Webster). So it is possible to read the connection like this: I seek you I thirst for you as my body would thirst in a dry land (I've been here before, for) To that extent I have looked upon you (before), beholding your power and glory If I'm on track, David has known soul hunger before. And in the wilderness, he draws on his background with God. "I have been this hungry, I have looked upon you in similar depth of need (though the circumstances were different), and I beheld your power and glory." I'm also stunned by that statement of fact: "I have beheld your power and your glory in the sanctuary." (ESV) That sounds a lot like Moses' request and experience ... "show me your glory." Vs. 8-11 are the foundation of David's faith (+A) My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. (-B) Those who seek my life will be destroyed; ( -B) They will be given over to the sword (+A) But the king will rejoice in God; All who swear by God's name will glory/exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped. I really like that. It gave David hope in the watches of the night as he was tormented. He held onto faith. He lived by the voice of his Father.
