Psalm 109

Today I read about the persecution that the church in Vietnam is facing. Both Catholics and prodistents are under severe oppression because they are no longer willing to live under the repressive rules set down by the govenment. The people are moving their prayer vigils out into the streets where they are facing abuse and beatings. But they are holding fast to their faith. Maybe they are heeding the words of this psalm of David; turning over the attacks of those who oppress us and allow God to mediate and direct the paths of their lives in other areas.
It took me about 5 minutes to read this psalm.
