Bible Question: Psalm 41:"But You, O Lord, be merciful and gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them".

I'm fairly new to the Bible. I try to read a Psalm each day and would like my kids to read them because they model a relatioship and communication with God . But I really find it very frustrating when David CONSTANTLY goes on and on from Psalm to Psalm about all his enemies. What's going on here? Are ALL these people really that evil or is David including at least some of his personal/ political feelings in the Psalms. David had some major humans flaws...are those flaws wiped away in the words in Psalms. I'm really getting frustrated with my favorite book of the OT so Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bible Answer: Hi

1 Sam 13:14
But now your kingdom shall not continue (Saul's). The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

David was a man after God's heart, David did not have a religious face. He was a normal human like you and me. He stumble and fell but stood up, repented and loved God with everything he had.

This sounds like someone that we can relate to in this day we live. Someone that had enemies, as we have enemies etc.

It shows us that there are times in our lives that we call to God with all our problems and how we want to repay them, until the Holy Spirit talks to us and we calm down, and then sound just like David. The same on the other side we can praise God for all His goodness and mercy.
