Word of God
But he answering, said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
The Gospel According to Matthew 4:4

Psalm 9:9-10
Prefaced & Edited by Doktor Riktor Von Zhades

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the poor, a refuge in due time, even in affliction. 10 And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seek thee.

Brethren:

Where can we turn except to He that created us? Who can we trust but the Lord God? (Read Psalm 73:25) Consider then this day friends all those that serve Him can be assured of His faithfulness to hear our prayers, our cries of sorrow or distress, and more importantly know that He will deliver relief in all our doings upon this temporal plain. Henceforth let us take comfort and be of good cheer (Read John 16:32-33; Acts 23:11) for our God sits upon His throne (Read Psalm 47:8), and watches over the affairs of all mankind.

The focus now centers on the people of the land, whom David calls the oppressed; the humble, the afflicted, the needy and the poor. These are the faithful worshipers of the Lord who have been persecuted, abused, and exploited by local rulers for being true to the Lord. (Read Psalm 10:17, 25:16, 40:17, 102:1; Zephaniah. 2:3; 3:12-13.) David praises the Lord for His faithfulness in caring for His sheep.

The first word means ‘a high safe place’ and the second ‘a stronghold.’ During his years of exile, David found the wilderness strongholds to be places of safety, but he knew that the Lord was the safest refuge (Read Psalm 46:1). The phrase ‘times of trouble’ means literally times of extremity (Read Psalm 10:1, 27:5, 37:39, 41:1, 73:5, 107:6, 13, 19, 26, 28). To ‘know God’s name’ or ‘love God’s name, means to trust Him and be saved (Read Psalm 5:11, 69:36, 91:14, 119:132; 1 Sam. 2:12). God forsook His own Son (Read Matthew 27:46) that He might never forsake His own people.” - Warren Wiersbe American Pastor and Theologian
