11 Kill them not, lest my people forget;
make them totter by your power and bring them down,
O Lord, our shield!
12 For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips,
let them be trapped in their pride.
For the cursing and lies that they utter,
13 consume them in wrath;
consume them till they are no more,
that they may know that God rules over Jacob
to the ends of the earth. Selah
14 Each evening they come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
15 They wander about for food
and growl if they do not get their fill.
16 But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.
Please forgive me for quoting, in part, an article which I wrote several months ago as my comment on this portion of Psalm 59,
I’m sick of this stuff! What stuff am I talking about? I’m sick of politicians making decisions that are fairly easily seen by anyone, with a modicum of common sense as, speaking in good old fashioned ‘Aussieze’, bloody stupid! My mother. and she was loving and the best mum that anyone could have had, would have washed my mouth out for saying that! ……You may, asking for more details, say, ‘What are you sick about, that you write like this? I will mention a few things. 1. I’m sick of so-called Christian theologians talking ‘peace with the devil’ – perverting societal-norm and thus perverting the true gospel by softening the edges in order for everyone to live in ‘harmony’ in a false unity with one another. 2. I’m sick of moralists who believe in murder and accepting perversions as normal, who cut off and alter bits of anatomy to treat psychological problems! I’m sick of scientists who can’t tell a male from a female. 3. Islamic theology is wrong (and as practiced by some evil); Hinduism is wrong, as is Buddhism etc! Christianity, as taught and practiced by the followers of Christ is right, according to His teaching! Many so-called Christians don’t practice Christ-like Christianity………4. I could go on with -antisemitism and islamophobia, youth crime, pointless demonstrations about not what they claim to be demonstrating for, media mis-information, parliamentary lying, duplicity, and planned misleading……. I hope to get people to with honesty, and integrity to respectfully begin to either challenge me or support me to get a tsunami type wave to either see me beaten into the ground; or a swell of public thought that makes these extremes of political and social thinking smashed to pieces! – Including the foolish woke extremism of present education and our old societal behaviour having been replaced with a very poor ‘hog-wash’ substitute. But with what should it be replaced?…….
David ended with ‘O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.‘ I would gladly end with those words also! A returning to God!
Exodus 20: 3 – “You shall have no other gods before me.”
Prayer: Lord, please send revival.
As I read it!
