Podcast 403 -- Can I Pray for My Enemy's Annihilation? Psalms 22, 51, 137

This week we look at psalms of suffering, confession and the difficult imprecatory psalms that call down God's wrath on enemies of Israel. All three groups express deep and fearful emotions. We look at how the pain of suffering and guilt are different, but that the psalms promise salvation from both. And how should we approach psalms that ask God to call down divine vengeance, sometimes in horrifying terms? These include Psalms 35, 58 and 137, one of the most notorious. Join us as we continue our discussion and debate on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Christian perspective on these difficult psalms he offers in Psalms: The Prayer Book of the Bible.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
