Psalms 35, 58, 59, 69, 109
PsalmsSteve Gregg
In this study of imprecatory Psalms, Steve Gregg discusses how David, despite being a theocratic king and God's chosen one, was not vindictive towards his enemies, and even mourned the death of his son Absalom. Gregg analyzes Psalms 35, 58, 59, 69, and 109, and highlights their figurative language and the importance of viewing them within their historical context. While the Psalms express prayers for God's justice and punishment for the wicked, Gregg emphasizes the need to not take them in absolute literalness and to let God take care of the matter.
