Asaph begins this Psalm be declaring that “In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel.” Now that is quite a declaration to begin a Psalm with. How many in that day would have said, “I know God.” Did they personally? Do we? Do you know God? …
(Matthew 9:23-26)…..When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, 24 He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. 25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the report of this went out into all that land.

(Galatians 4:8-14)…..8 But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. 9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain. 12 Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you.

Maybe it is because we just don’t want people to know that we struggle, or that we can’t make it, so we put up a wall of defense that looks good to others.
