"O Lord, my God, in you I take refuge."
We see such contrast between those who take refuge in the LORD and those who do not. At times, the LORD informs those who trust in him about circumstances which conspire against them. But even when we don't realize the plots hatched against us by the world the LORD will still defend those who place their trust in him.
"A shield before me is God,
who saves the upright of heart"
We shy away because we know our hearts are not upright, at least, not to the degree they should be. Yet the upright of heart are only thus because of the words of the one whose heart is perfectly upright and obedient.
"Never before has anyone spoken like this man."
It is precisely the words of this man which bring the humble to repentance and justice. It is these words which further harden the hearts of the unrepentant. Like Nicodemus, let us at least hear him out and see what he is doing. Then we will be able to realize, like some in the crowd, that "[t]his is the Christ.". He is the one who searches hearts. Let us entrust our cause to him.
