Sunday Psalms:

What the LORD says to my master: 

"Sit right beside me 

until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet!"

Psalms 110:1 CEB

This is a song of David's and it seems quite strange. It's full of difficult to understand images and  starts with God, Yahweh, talking to David's master - if David was the king here there was no one above him, so seems a bit odd. Maybe David is referring to some inner voice, his desires, the things that drive him?

For all the stangeness of this psalm to my ears, it does seem to be about justice. 

Yahweh is saying wait with me and I will sort it. The justice you haven't gotten, it will happen, it might not be what you expect or when you want it, but sit with me, stay close, and justice will prevail.

Will we trust our God with that?
