In Psalms chapter sixty nine David said, “Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake”, and in chapter sixty-nine and verse twenty-four of Psalms David said, “pour out your indignation upon them” where we read,
Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
The verse begins, “Pour out your indignation upon them, ...” David began with the words, “pour out your indignation” or spill forth, shed and sprawl out “your, Jehovah God's, anger, rage and fury” “upon them” which means “on them, David's enemies”. David appealed to Jehovah God to shed his anger and fury upon his enemies.
The verse goes on to say, “... and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.” David continued with the words, “and let your wrathful anger” or “and allow and permit your, Jehovah God's, burning heat, sore displeasure and fierce fury” “take hold of them” which means “overtake, secure, reach and wax rich over them, David's enemies”. David beckoned Jehovah God to allow His sore displeasure and fierce fury to seize his hating foes.
When we meditate upon words in this verse, we see how David wanted Jehovah God to shed his anger and fury on his enemies. God desires to have a personal relationship with every person through His Son Jesus who died on the cross for the sins of all mankind, however, when people refuse to receive His plan of salvation, His wrath will be “poured out” upon them. When we believe and trust in Jesus as our “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and shed His wrath upon people who oppose us and Him.
Next time David says, “let their habitation be desolate”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
