3. Final request for deliverance 28:9

Having expressed his confidence in the Lord's salvation David repeated his request for deliverance. He wanted divine salvation and guidance for Israel from her Shepherd forever. This is a long range petition for God's sustenance in the years that lay ahead.

God's people can appeal for help in distress to our great Shepherd and can rely on His guidance and salvation in view of His commitment to us. The leaders of God's people should intercede for the Lord's blessing on the people under their charge as David did.
