Today’s Psalm (58) struck me as a vengeful passage.

Here’s a sample verse:

“Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD” (6).

Where is the redemptiveness in that kind of attitude?

I know that was a different time and a different covenant.

Now is the time and covenant of grace, forgiveness, and redemption.

I purpose to relate to people, even my detractors and adversaries, with grace and forgiveness.

I want them redeemed, not destroyed.
