ADVENT Day 19...Day 109(Deuteronomy 17; Psalms 109)..."The Evil One in the Psalms"

Psalm 109 is a different kind of Psalm. Why would David wish all this ill will on anyone? Upon a closer look there is a battle between good and evil. The language is convincing of the war between good and evil.

"May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.

May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.

May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven from their ruined homes.

May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.

May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation."

...not you average Psalm. I am reminded even in the Psalms a battle rages between good and evil.
