This psalm is one of many that pray for the destruction of Israel's enemies. If you don't live with enemies close at hand, psalms like these can be hard to connect with. And given the brutal language, psalms like these can seem totally out of step with Jesus's call to love your enemies and pray for your persecutors. How should we respond to prayers like these? Should we rejoice in vengeance?
At Edgefield Church, we worship a God who has revealed himself to us in his Word. Each week, we gather to sit under the proclamation of his Word for the building up of the church. For those who listen to our sermons online, our hope is that they will be a helpful and encouraging supplement to the weekly teaching of your local church.
