Salvation of the Righteous?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who the Lord helps and delivers. In Jesus’ name, amen.
The psalms are filled with many recurring themes. One has to do with the conflict between the wicked and the righteous. The wicked are subject to the Lord’s judgement. The righteous are saved because they trust in the Lord.
The two verses of Psalm 37:39-40 (ESV) are the culmination of a psalm where the righteous are reminded they should fret not:
“The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.”
The righteous have a special relationship with the Lord. He on their side.
