Day 4Two - Psalm 109
What I find interesting about this Psalm is that the author spends 13 verses explaining how the enemy would repay love for evil... I honestly don't get why this needed to be explained in such detail. A few verses would've sufficed, I think. Regardless, the Psalmist wants his enemies to see that his work is the "Lord's doing" -- so that, when his enemies attack him, they will be put to shame because they are putting God's doing to shame. Interesting to note that it's not until the Psalmist has this revelation of "I'm doing the Lord's work" that he's okay with being persecuted. Its like he was able to justify it and accept the attacks from his enemies.
