Faith Declares Victory Now
Commentators like Calvin and Barnes note that David speaks of his deliverance in the past tense ("He hath redeemed"). This may not mean the battle was over, but rather reflects a faith so certain of God's future rescue that it speaks of it as already accomplished. This teaches believers to trust God's promises with such confidence that they can find peace even before their struggle ends.
