Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 169: Do Not Keep Silent, O Lord

Good afternoon, everyone!

Today I read Psalms 32-35, but I will be focusing on part of Psalm 35.

Psalm 35:1 - Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.

David goes on to offer praises to God and then to ask how long God will continue to look on while enemies surround him, while troubles come upon him. And then he will offer great thanks unto God.

Psalm 35:22 - You have seen it, O LORD, do not keep silent; O LORD, do not be far from me.

Even as David, sometimes we utter this prayer. "O Lord, be near me, and do not keep silence in my trouble."

David's psalms are especially moving, and it's always amazing to me that even when he cried out for help, he always turned it back around to praise.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Psalms 36-39.
