What vivid verbs does David use to ask for God’s help in verses 1-2?
Remember that David was a mighty warrior. He could defend himself and kill Saul. But he is ___________________________ not to act in his own strength because he believes that in this case that would be sin against God. And so he prays.

What earlier Psalm does verse 8 remind us of?
Verse 8 reminds us that God will always have the __________________________ word!

Chorus: David compares his enemies to ____________________ dogs V. 14-15
I get the feeling David is thinking here about how _____________________ Saul’s actions are when there are so many Philistines to deal with!
