Notes: July 14, 2008 - Psalms 57 & 58
Bob Feather July 14th, 2008
Altaschith-destroy not. David did not destroy Saul; and he rejoices that God does not destroy him. For other “altaschith” psalms, see 58, 59 & 75.
In the cave-when we’ve been in the lonely dark, it’s good to be in the light of God’s company.
Psalm 57
- Condition surrounding (verses 1-6); David’s Prayer.
- Comfort abounding (verses 7-11); David’s Praise.
Psalm 58
- Injustice-what a crime (verses 1-5)
- Justice-what a God (verses 6-8)
- Judgment-what a relief (verses 9-11)
Meditation Points:
- Psalm 58:3. Do you believe that we are born sinful? Without a doubt, God says that we are. Read Romans 3:10-18.
- Don’t expect too much from the unsaved. After all, it’s just natural for them to be liars.
Psalm 58:3
3The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Romans 3:10-18
10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17And the way of peace have they not known:
18There is no fear of God before their eyes.
