1 (A poem written by David when he fled from his son Absalom. O Lord, how many my enemies are! Many people rose up against me.
Many people have told me that he can't get help from God. (Selah)
At this time, David was betrayed by his son Absalom, and his good friend and counselor also took refuge in Absalom. On the way to escape, he met Shi Mei and cursed him inexplicably. How painful it is to be a king for many years, a traitor and humiliated by a villain. At this time, he came to his close friend God and poured out his heart: I have many enemies, and many people say that I can't get your help. Without flowery words, it is a grievance cry. When you are sad and desperate, don't forget God, a close friend. We pray to him and will soon get comfort and strength:
But you, O Lord, are my shield and my glory, and you have raised my head.
I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
I lay down to sleep, I was awake, and the Lord blessed me.
Although tens of thousands of people gathered around to attack me, I was not afraid.
The poet soon thought that God was his shield and glory. God once chose him as king in the crowd. Saul hunted him for ten years. He fought everywhere, and God was with him, raising his head. So the poet became confident: I pray here, and you answer me from my residence. No matter what happens, if you bless me, I can sleep peacefully, so even if there are more enemies, I am not afraid.
Lord, get up! My God, please help me! For you have struck all my enemies on the cheekbones and broken the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to the Lord; May you bless your people. (Selah)
The poet's heart is no longer sad and powerless. With God behind him, he has peace of mind. He begged God to save him, because God is powerful, hitting his enemies on the cheek and breaking the teeth of the wicked. Some people may doubt these two poems. Why do you pray to God so cruelly? Isn't God kind? And Jesus also taught us to forgive, so David is not spiritual. However, when I was wronged and hurt by the wicked, I suddenly felt how this poem could express my heart. I also know that David really regards God as a bosom friend, and he expresses his inner needs without affectation. God is also a loving god. He allowed us to pray to him sincerely without hypocrisy. In addition, God is not only kind, but also just. At that time, God will repay him. Now only God has patience and gives us a chance to repent. Because salvation belongs to the Lord.
Salvation belongs to the Lord; May you bless your people. The poet turned completely from himself to the people and God, and he began to praise God and pray for everyone. I believe that at this time, he has been healed and guided by God. Japan once again admits that the Lord is great, and all salvation, justice and the way out lie in God.
These short poems, like a person's mental journey in a difficult situation, are brilliant.
