Psalm 63:3-5

The Bible Teaching Commentary

4) Affectionate prayers respond to God’s love with adoration

Paul J. Bucknell

Psalm 63:3-5 Prayer begins by speaking and acknowledging our need for God. Prayer continues on by describing our dependence upon God. Jesus said, “Give us this day our daily bread.”

We realize we have nothing unless He the Creator of the world provides it to us. But thirdly, we find that true prayer always is rooted in special relationships with God. Conversion is only one such occasion. But there are or should be many others. If this is our perception of life, then our prayers will naturally turn into praise. One cannot hold back the adoration of the glorious King of king and Lord of Lords. Let’s look at what astonished David.
