Psalm 3

Dicker

Psalm 3: Complaint.

Theme: Battling against the odds, outnumbered, being picked on… a zipper in a world of velcro.

v5. stands out for me… the quiet calm amongst the turmoil. Assailants on every side, many are against you, many have written you off… but “I lie down to sleep and wake up again because YHWH sustains me”. Where there should be sleepless anxiety, there is a restful calm and trust in YHWH’s protection (v.3).

v7. Anger. Vindication. “Fight for me!” “punch them in the face YHWH!”. When your backed into a corner with the odds against you, this would be my prayer.

Feelings: anxious urgency and yet quiet comfort.
