10. Psalms 58 And 109
Contributed on Mar 5, 2020
The outrage expressed in passages in these psalms are examples of times David seemed to be "fed up" with his enemies. He pours out his fury to God, not intending for his Father to act on the ills he calls for, but for God to see the passion poisoning his heart and send relief.

13. Psalm 139
Contributed on Mar 12, 2020
God sees all and knows all. That can cause us to feel either threatened or comforted. The best response is that of David, "lead me." It is far better to be led by the one who sees and knows everything, even our own thoughts.
