Psalm 18 is the long backward look of an old king who refused to forget. In this episode, we notice that it opens where no other psalm does, with David simply saying he loves the Lord, and then spends fifty verses explaining why. He piles up eight names for God, describes the cords and floods and snares of death that nearly took him, and tells how his cry went straight from the flood into the throne room. What follows is a storm of cosmic power deployed to rescue one man, followed by the tenderest of images: God reaching down to draw him out of deep water and set him in a broad place, simply because he delighted in him. Along the way we learn why love grows out of memory, how to work hard and still hand God the trophy, and why David credited his greatness to God's gentleness.
