Hear my prayer;\nlisten to the words of my mouth!\nThe proud have come up against me;\nviolent people want me dead.\nThey pay no attention to God. Selah\nBut look here: God is my helper;\nmy Lord sustains my life.\nHe will bring disaster on my opponents.\nBy your faithfulness, God, destroy them!\nI will sacrifice to you freely;\nI will give thanks to your name, Lord,\nbecause it\u2019s so good,\nand because God has delivered me\nfrom every distress.\nMy eyes have seen my enemies\u2019 defeat.\nThe post A Place for Anger: Psalm 54 appeared first on Queer Theology.
