The Devastation of an Unexpected Enemy I get the impression from this Psalm that there are enemies that move freely within the walls, enemies with whom there has existed an unstated (or stated) covenant that they will not attack. It could simply be an expectation that we won't get hit from them. Then they attack. And from David, I get the idea that these enemies inflict a hurt that is even more devastating. David says these enemies have brought him to feel: restless greatly distracted pressure trouble heart is in anguish terrors of death Fear and trembling overwhelming horror wanting to fly away in the hope of finding rest. His hope is that God will: Confuse the enemy divide the enemy's tongue save hear his voice. redeem his soul in peace from the battle which is against him, hear and answer sustain never allow the righteous to be shaken. bring the enemies down to the pit of destruction; His response to the enemy is to: call upon God, Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, Cast his burden upon the LORD trust in You.

OT

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God;

Give ear to my prayer, O God,

And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.

and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!

Give heed to me

Attend to me,

and answer me;

and answer me;

I am restless in my complaint

I am restless in my complaint

and am surely distracted,

and I moan,

series

Because of the voice of the enemy,

because of the noise of the enemy,

Because of the pressure of the wicked;

because of the oppression of the wicked.

For they bring down trouble upon me

For they drop trouble upon me,

And in anger they bear a grudge against me.

and in anger they bear a grudge against me.

My heart is in anguish within me,

My heart is in anguish within me;

And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

Fear and trembling come upon me,

Fear and trembling come upon me,

And horror has overwhelmed me.

and horror overwhelms me.

I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove!

And I say, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove!

I would fly away

I would fly away

and be at rest.

and be at rest;

actionpurpose

"Behold, I would wander far away,

yes, I would wander far away;

I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.

I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah

"I would hasten to my place of refuge From the stormy wind and tempest."

I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest."

Destroy, O Lord,

For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

for I see violence and strife in the city.

Day and night they go around her upon her walls,

Day and night they go around it on its walls,

ideaexplanation

And iniquity and mischief are in her midst.

and iniquity and trouble are within it;

Destruction is in her midst;

ruin is in its midst;

Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets.

oppression and fraud do not depart from its marketplace.

For it is not an enemy who reproaches me,

For it is not an enemy who taunts me--

Then I could bear it;

then I could bear it;

Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me,

it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me--

Then I could hide myself from him.

then I could hide from him.

But it is you,

But it is you,

a man

a man,

my equal,

my equal,

My companion

my companion,

and my familiar friend;

my familiar friend.

We who had sweet fellowship together

We used to take sweet counsel together;

Walked in the house of God in the throng.

within God's house we walked in the throng.

negativepositive

Let death come deceitfully upon them;

Let death steal over them;

Let them go down alive to Sheol,

let them go down to Sheol alive;

For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.

for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.

As for me, I shall call upon God,

But I call to God,

And the LORD will save me.

and the LORD will save me.

Evening and morning and at noon

I will complain and murmur,

I utter my complaint and moan,

And He will hear my voice.

and he hears my voice.

He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me,

He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage,

For they are many who strive with me.

for many are arrayed against me.

God will hear

God will give ear

and answer them--

and humble them,

Even the one who sits enthroned from of old-- Selah.

he who is enthroned from of old, Selah

With whom there is no change,

because they do not change

And who do not fear God.

and do not fear God.

situationresponse

He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him;

My companion stretched out his hand against his friends;

He has violated his covenant.

he violated his covenant.

His speech was smoother than butter,

His speech was smooth as butter,

But his heart was war;

yet war was in his heart;

concessive

His words were softer than oil,

his words were softer than oil,

Yet they were drawn swords.

yet they were drawn swords.

Cast your burden upon the LORD

Cast your burden on the LORD,

and He will sustain you;

and he will sustain you;

He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction;

But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction;

Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days.

men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days.

But I will trust in You.

But I will trust in you.
