A maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding among us?” God! Save me by your name; defend me by your might! God! Hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth! The proud have come up against me; violent people want me dead. They pay no attention to God. Selah But look here: God is my helper; my Lord sustains my life. He will bring disaster on my opponents. By your faithfulness, God, destroy them! I will sacrifice to you freely; I will give thanks to your name, Lord, because it’s so good, and because God has delivered me from every distress. My eyes have seen my enemies’ defeat. The post A Place for Anger: Psalm 54 appeared first on Queer Theology.
