Psalm 123 / Soldiers Three
Psalm 123; another grand psalm which I think is rather fitting for today. It gives us a compelling dynamic of man and God, man as the servants, God as the masters (which would probably make for a really cool Trinity moment as if God were one person then it would be master). It concerns a sinner begging to God for mercy which is a quality in the Lord that is always abounding. I suppose we can all find ourselves in a situation in which we are vexed by prideful scorners and are in great need of mercy of God. It is never a pleasant situation to be in, although it is guaranteed to happen to all of us at some point in time. There is pretty much always a need for God's mercy as chastisement is just as abundant as His mercy sometimes, charging us to make psalm 123 kinds of prayers.
Another interesting was a comment from one of my commentors, Eric, a fellow new IFBer I had found through a secular channel which had 2,000 videos or so dedicated to the topic of balding. Why does a 16 year old need to research premature balding in adult males? I don't particularly know the answer to that question, but I like these kinds of things. He mentioned the subject of received pronunciation and original pronunciation, and I got to thinking about it. These psalms don't really have much of an original pronunciation focus or even a traditional sound in the sense that it uses Jacobean instruments of the time. Certainly the banjo was not a traditional English instrument and nor was the mandolin. These are modern English instruments; alas though, he provided for a very long rambling of mine which I suppose you could refer to as a reply, hahah.
