63:9-10 Reflecting on his God bolstered the king's confidence that the Lord would preserve him in his present situation. David knew God would deliver him because God had elected him and had blessed him for his submission to the Lord's will.
"Foxes"(v. 10) should probably be "jackals"here since jackals are the ultimate scavengers that eat the remains of a kill that the larger beasts reject.121The same Hebrew word describes both animals.
63:11 Instead of anticipating destruction as the Lord's enemies could, David confidently rejoiced. Everyone who sides with God as David did can do the same. Glorying is the equivalent of rejoicing.
Meditation on the person and works of God can bring refreshment and invigoration to any believer. Meditation on God fills a basic need in the heart of every person, as basic a need as food and drink. It not only satisfies the believer but overflows in praise making him or her a blessing to others.
