Hopefully today we will finish on Psalm 139 v 19 - 24, in these verses we hear David crying out to God to deal with the wicked, he stresses their ,violence, evil intentions , blasphemous language, hatred of God, and their rebelliousness. Sometimes man's evil is so great, God acts in a dramatic way , like the flood, the inhabitants of Canaan, Sodom and Gomorrah, even the destruction of Israel . Dr . Meyer writes the following, ' When we are startled at these strong expressions of David , we may well ask ourselves whether , in our tender pity for sinners , we may not be losing something of his stern consciousness of the evil of sin, and the guilt of the wicked'. David while imploring God's righteous judgement on the wicked, is conscious of his own fallen nature, and that he may have offended a holy God. v 23 - 24.oh yes David like us all, had a fallen nature ( C P 1 Samuel 11 ) That is why we all need Jesus, in order that our sins may be forgiven, so we may escape the wrath to come.
