Can I say that the Bible is full of beautiful twists and turns? For example, here in Psalm 59, we start with the Psalmist asking God to save him from fierce and strong enemies. Then, he builds his case against them to the point where he compares them to wild dogs that prowl about the city at night. He next praises God because God will give him triumph over his enemies; a joyful triumph is what he calls it. So far, so good. Nothing unexpected yet, right? But what he says next is, and it is beautiful. He says…. Ahhh, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat about it. Also, before beginning, our book is now a proud sponsor of this podcast. Psalms 1-72, A Simple Not Shallow Presentation, is a collection of the Psalms, as heard on the Psalm Tuesday episodes. It is available as a paperback and as an e-book. I will share two links for you in the description of this episode.       But, for now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes, and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This podcast is for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is a series in which we will listen to a psalm being read in a manner that honors their original use as part of a worship service. This episode is #87. The psalm for this episode is Psalm 59. So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started. Would you mind telling me what you think about this?
