Psalms 18:17

Psalms 18:17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

They were not too strong for God, and it almost seems as if he would not have come upon the scene if they had not been too strong for David. While David could fight them, he might fight them; "but what if they were too strong for me," saith he, "he delivered me." Oh, what a glorious thing it is to be put where you cannot help yourself, because then it shall be written, "he delivered me"! Let the heroes of the earth boast of all their mighty deeds; as for us, we will glory even in infirmity, for then the power of God doth rest upon us.
