(1.00) | (Psa 68:6) | 3 sn God delivers the downtrodden and oppressed, but sinful rebels who oppose his reign are treated appropriately. |
(0.37) | (Pro 24:18) | 2 sn The judgment of God should strike a note of fear in the heart of people (e.g., Lev 19:17-18). His judgment is not to be taken lightly, or personalized as a victory. If that were to happen, then the Lord might take pity on the enemies in their calamity, for he champions the downtrodden and defeated. These are probably personal enemies; the imprecatory psalms and the prophetic oracles present a different set of circumstances for the downfall of God’s enemies—even the book of Proverbs says that brings joy to the community. |
