This is consistent with the biblical narrative where figures like Job, David, and the prophets experienced significant trials despite their faithfulness. The righteous are often in conflict with a world that opposes God's ways, as seen in <a href="/john/15-18.htm">John 15:18-20</a>, where Jesus warns His followers of persecution. Historically, the early Christians faced severe persecution, reflecting this truth. The afflictions can be both physical and spiritual, testing the faith and perseverance of believers.<p><b>but the LORD delivers him from them all</b><br>This promise of deliverance is a recurring theme in Scripture, emphasizing God's faithfulness and sovereignty. The deliverance may not always be immediate or in the form expected, but it is assured. In the Old Testament, God delivered Israel from Egypt, Daniel from the lions' den, and David from Saul's pursuit. In the New Testament, Paul speaks of being delivered from various dangers (<a href="/2_timothy/4-18.htm">2 Timothy 4:18</a>). This deliverance is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who provides eternal salvation and victory over sin and death. The phrase reassures believers that despite the multitude of afflictions, God's power and grace will prevail, offering hope and encouragement.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/34.htm">Psalm 34</a>, David wrote this psalm as a reflection on God's deliverance.
