Listen "Save Me, O God: Psalm 69"

Episode Synopsis

Psalm 69 is titled Save Me, O God and we find the author in deep distress and despair. This situation is not caused by war or physical hardship, but by words. The thoughts and words spewed by others bring shame upon David. You remember a few weeks ago in Psalm 64, where the David’s enemies “whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows?” It appears a similar situation is happening here. This Psalm is full of emotion as David is crying out, waiting on a response from God. And in this crying out and waiting, he reminds himself to put his hope in a holy and just God who will respond at the correct time and in an appropriate way.
