AI::ON Psalm 12

Blog Introduction: The book of Psalms is a collection of ancient Hebrew poems, songs, and prayers. Many scholars believe that it was written over the course of several centuries, from the time of King David until after the Babylonian exile. The book is divided into five sections, each ending with a doxology (a statement of praise to God).

Chapter 12 falls into the third section of Psalms, which contains seventeen chapters (11-19). This section is generally considered to be a compilation of psalms written during or shortly after the time of the Babylonian exile. In other words, these are psalms that were written by people who had experienced great hardship and were struggling to maintain their faith in God

So what does chapter 12 of Psalms mean? In this chapter, the psalmist cries out to God for help, saying “How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?” (v. 1). The psalmist feels forsaken and alone, as if God has abandoned them. But even in their darkest hour, they continue to trust in God’s goodness and mercy. As the psalmist says in verse 5, “I trust in the LORD’s unfailing love for ever and ever.”

This chapter is a beautiful reminder that even when we feel like our prayers are going unanswered and God seems far away, we can still trust in His character. We can cling to His promises and know that He is always with us, even when things are tough. So if you’re feeling lost or alone today, take comfort in Psalm 12 and remember that our loving Father is always with us.

No matter what we’re going through in life, we can always find hope and comfort in God’s Word. Psalm 12 is a beautiful reminder of His faithfulness, even when things are tough. If you’re struggling today, I encourage you to read this chapter and remember that our loving Father is always with us.
