If Psalm 108 is “a recipe for an hour of need,” what are its ingredients?
Chapter: Psalm 108
Dear Psalms friends,
We have skipped right past Psalm 108 each time we have read and prayed our way through Book 5, the concluding book of Psalms. Its superscription states that it is “of David,” and it appears that David composed this community lament using material from two previous psalms: Psalm 57:7-11 (an individual lament) and Psalm 60:5-12 (a community lament).
So what is the flow of thought in this new arrangement? What seems to be going on? What groups of people are involved? What is God’s place in this psalm?
