Psalm 108

This psalm is attributed to king David but there is little evidence as to when he wrote it. David was born after the time of judges. He never knew Israel without a king. But the lines speak of times when foreign raiders were not unknown and political stability was an empty dream. But in the last two verses is a message of hope for God's faithful people. The human help is worthless. It is the godly who will win. Now is a time when our culture seems to be picking up the war cry of the individualistic humanist. Against God's will such plans are meaningless. But what will God's victory look like in our culture? If humiliation of the arrogant is to be the punishment, how far down the establishment ladder will God's punishment fall?
