Jordan - Psalm 5

These psalms must be comforting to people who are being persecuted.  Personally, though, I cringe at some of the language where David asks God to cast out his enemies and make them bear their guilt.  The God here, is a God of justice; one who both protects the innocent and punishes the wicked.  But who was persecuting David and what were they praying about him?

If everyone prays to God to cast out their enemies, and God grants those prayers, then we are all on the outside looking in.
