(verse 3) "I will call on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, for he saves me from my enemies."
Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, made reference to this verse when he said in Luke 1, "Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited his people and redeemed them." This is translated, "He has come to his people to save them."
Zachariah continues:"He has sent us a mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant David, just as he promised through his holy prophets long ago." Didn't Isaiah tell us in Isaiah 40, "Messenger of good news, shout to Zion from the mountaintops! Shout louder to Jerusalem-do not be afraid. Tell the towns of Judah, 'Your God is coming!"
Then to make sure we knew this God would be Jesus he said, "Yes, the Sovereign Lord is coming in all his glorious strength. ... He will feed his flock like a shepherd. ..."
The enemy referred to in Psalm 18:3 is sin. Jesus did this by dying in our place on the cross. That is, sin was trying to kill us, but Jesus died in our place. Now we can be given eternal life and live forever with him in heaven.
