When my enemies turn back, they stumble and parish before your presence. For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. Psalm 9:3-4. This is a statement of future hope (when my enemies turn back), not past reality. The psalmist is not confident in himself (throne, giving righteous judgment), but in God’s character as the righteous judge. Sometimes as we go through situations it appears that being a follower of Christ causes us to get the short end of the deal. From a worldly perspective we may come out looking weak or unjustified. But rest assured as a child of God…He maintains our just cause. In the end His purpose is better than ours could have ever been.
