Faith's Anchor in the Storm
Even in his desperate plea, David calls God "my salvation." Scholars like John Calvin and John Gill see this as a powerful declaration of faith. It acts as a "wall of defense" against doubt. While his feelings screamed urgency and fear, his faith proclaimed his ultimate security in God. This teaches us to anchor our prayers in the truth of who God is, even when we feel overwhelmed.
