2 | shut up around wicked only? | Ps 39:1 | Ephraim | 99670 | ||
In the context of the entire Psalm this is a man (DAvid) who's soul is deeply troubled and is somewhat contentious with his God. In verse one he had determined to keep silent, and keep a muzzle on his mouth for fear that rebellious words would escape in the hearing of the wicked. Suppressed anguish only intensified the agony and he could finally no longer suppress his anguish. In verse 3-4 "My heart grew hot within me, and as I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue; In verse 4 he began to spout out his anguish before the Lord. Read the entire Ps. and you will see his troubled heart. When in circumstances and situations like David we to sometimes say foolish things. Look at verse 13, David said, "Look away from me, that I may rejoice again before I depart and am no more." This is David, the one God said: "This is a man after my own heart." I don't know if you have ever been in a situation like this but I have. We must continue being a good witness before those who are lost no matter what our trouble may be. Your brother, Ephraim | ||||||
