A Remembrance


Psalm 70 deals is a particular Song of the Psalter, it is a Remembrance.
In the superscript David writes, "For the Music Director, a psalm of David, to remember."
Only in Psalm 38 is this superscript found, this remembrance was probably sung with a sacrifice that would act as a reminder to Yahweh of the psalmist needs and requests.
As I was reading and re-reading this psalm, I was struck by his dependence on the Yahweh. David understood quite well that God was the only one that could remember him while he was in distress. I thought about the fact that when we are in distress we seek people, comfort, and other devices, instead of clinging to the Rock, instead of "reminding" the Lord about our distress.
How different our lives might be if we would go to Yahweh and casts all of our cares on Him, because he cares for us.
