Psalm 18 is an interesting psalm - it really brought home to me the martial nature of David's life.
The NIV subtitle suggests that David is giving thanks for deliverance from Saul - with whom he had consistently avoided battle owing to Saul's status as God's anointed king. In spite of this, the bulk of the psalm is centered around images of war.
And so the question raises itself - is our God a God of war? What is His position on when war is justified - indeed can it be justified?
