Psalm 38

I took about 2 minutes to ponder this psalm of David. David expresses his emotional and spiritual agony before God. He is weighed down from God's rebuke and the attacks on his life from those around him. David's response to this environment; to fall silent before God, and depend upon him and his grace to bring about right judgement. I believe this was Jesus' response to his accusers as well. He knew he was innocent, but he also knew that God's judgement demanded an innocent life to clear the guilty. So Jesus held his tongue and depended upon God to bring about right judgement.
