Dignoscentia

This psalm reaffirms the power to be found in praising God. I love the promise made in verse 2: “Whoever keeps singing of your majesty higher than the heavens, even through the mouths of children, or of babes in arms, you make him a fortress, firm against your foes, to subdue the enemy and the […]

A righteous man cries out for justice in this psalm, and in the end he gets it. I wonder, how many of us are able to say with confidence, like David does in verses 3-5, that injustice has never stained our hands? Oh, I’m not talking about criminal deeds, I’m talking about things like gossping […]
