David talks about people who plan evil. People who have turned away from God People who lie in ambush waiting to trick and deceive. People who attack innocent people. People who are like dogs that growl and roam around the city at night, never satisfied, always looking to see who they can devour. Insults are hurled from their lips. They believe they are alone or exempt from God's control. They think, "Who's listening"? They are like poisonous snakes. They are like deaf cobras that stop up their ears so they can't hear the music of the snake charmer no matter how well he plays. They refuse to listen to God no matter how many chances and opportunities they've been given.
Then David says—hold them accountable. Break the teeth in their mouths. Tear out their fangs that are like lions. Let them disappear. Save me. Protect me. I'm innocent. Help me. Arise and punish them. Do not give those traitors any mercy. God, you are my strength. You are my defender. You love me. You go in front of me. You defeat my enemies. You be my protector. You hold them accountable for their lies. Let their pride trap them. I will sing about your strength. I will sing about your love.
Psalm 59:16b-17, "You are my defender, my place of safety in times of trouble. God, my strength, I will sing praises to you. God, my defender, you are the God who loves me."
Addendum: 2/16/15 ~ Accountability and vengeance belongs to the LORD.
Psalm 58:10 - "Good people will be glad when they see him get even... Then people will say, 'There really are rewards for doing what is right. There really is a God who judges the world.' "
It is all about trust. It's all about faith It is all about letting go and surrendering all. God is fair. He is just. Only He has the right to judge the heart of the matter and hold accountable those who attack the innocent. It is not our battle—it is HIS.
