Seems to me that psalm 35 is a call for God's justice, to deliver us from our enemies, and cause them to fall in their own traps. We can always call upon God to be our judge and His hands to be upon our enemies. Seems wrong for us to call God to go against our enemies, when we are suppose to love?
I found it abit confusing, but i guess there are times we can call on God for His justice, esp when we are wronged, when it's for the benefits of others... most importantly, we leave everything to God to do whatever He wants. We dont have to defend ourselves or seek revenge, God can fight for us.
And in verse 13, david had times when he felt that God wasnt answering his prayers and was sad. David was a man like us! We may feel like david is a holy man, so he could write all these psalms to the Lord... He is a man after God's own heart, he is good, he is a king, different from us. He can praise God and had such faith and love for God, i cant.
But here, we see david was just like us... he felt sad and lament about times when it seems that God is not answering his prayers. But we also see that he still trusted in God, that's when God came through for him. Remember, God hears every prayer, He answers them according to His timing and wisdom. Our part is to pray and trust. In times when we feel that our prayers are not answered, let's not be frustrated, anxious or angry. Let us learn to be like david, to trust in God and turn these times of waiting into times of deepening our faith in the Lord.
May us then be like david, real human with emotions and struggles, but transforming by times of deepening our faith and moulding by the Lord... we can become like david, woman after God's own heart!
" I want to be a woman after God's own heart. Lord, help me."
