Confidence from God's Record
Commentators explain that the psalmist's confidence isn't wishful thinking but is firmly rooted in God's past actions. By remembering how God has delivered before, believers can find courage for present and future threats. As multiple scholars note, this confidence is a logical response to God's proven faithfulness and unchanging, omnipotent character. If God was strong enough for yesterday's battles, He is strong enough for today's.
