Tehillim Thirty-Five: Judgment
In this chapter, the psalmist addresses God directly. “Arouse Yourself and awaken to my judgment, my God and my Lord, to my cause (Psalms 35:23).” This verse turns a regular concept on its head. Usually, it’s us who are awaiting God’s judgment and and being called by Him to listen and react. But now, he is calling God to face the judgment of a human being. Many of us deride and judge God internally, and almost without thinking. So what would happen if we owned up to that, and called Him to face us in our anger and pain?
