Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 108-116.

Today’s psalms do not really fit together with a theme, but they strike me nonetheless.  In the first psalm, Psalm 108, the psalmist sings praise to God and acknowledges that he will only succeed with God’s help.  Psalm 109 was interpreted by Peter as applying to Jesus (and referring to Judas as the enemy here described).  The psalmist refers to enemies who returned evil for good and hatred for offers of friendship.  Which reflects accurately on Christ’s life and what the Jewish leaders, and Judas, did to Him.  I am not going to continue to lay out specifics from each psalm in today’s reading, but the psalmist goes on praise the Lord and to call on us to praise Him.  As we live this life, the psalmist instructs us not to seek glory for ourselves, but rather to direct all glory towards God.  Do not credit me for any good thing I may have done, or that I may do in the future.  If I do, or have done, any good thing, give credit, and glory, to God for it.  Credit, and praise, is due to God for any good you think I have done.  Just as the psalmist says, I love the Lord because He has heard my cries and rescued me from distress.
