I have a paper due on Monday. It has to be on one of the Psalms. I have been trying to figure out which one to do it on. I’ve now chosen Psalm 109.
But for starters, let’s read this one in context:
2 For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.
3 They beset me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.
4 In return for my love they accuse me, even while I make prayer for them.
5 So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 They say, “Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand on his right.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin.
8 May his days be few; may another seize his position.
9 May his children be orphans, and his wife a widow.
Verse 9 makes it clear that this is a death-wish.
Verse 5 makes it clear that “they” (the ones who are wishing for the death of the speaker) are rewarding good with evil (i.e. they are fucking bastards).
Verse 7 makes it clear that not all prayers are good prayers and that some of them might be counted as sin.
Of course there was also the words of the Apostle Paul who wrote:
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.
But that usually only gets mentioned by right-wing nutjobs when a Republican is in office.
