Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 109:6-12
This portion of the psalm speaks about God’s judgment upon the wicked, which David brought up in the opening verses. He now asks the Lord to take vengeance on all he has and does. Indeed, we must leave the matter of vengeance to the Lord. In verse 8, when he says, “let his days be few; and let another take his office,” he was, no doubt, referring to the betrayal of his counselor, Ahithophel. But, in Acts 1:20, it is applied to Judas who betrayed our Lord. All things are “naked and open” to the knowledge of God (Hebrews 4:13). No one is getting away with anything.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 7 – “When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.”
