Why, O Lord?

Author:Pope Shenouda IIIPublisher:Anba Reweiss Press in AbbassiaPublish Year:1990Pages:73Categories:Biblical CommentaryDescription:Shenauda the Third's Lord How explores a faith, reproach psalm. Introduced by Lord How, David's reproach, God loves reproach, and this psalm's occasion. Facing Lord how many trouble me, many rise against me lacking help in his God, he claims Lord helper, glory lifter of my head, I cried he heard from his holy hill. Adding I slept I awoke, he shares three interpretations: Christ's interpretation, spiritual contemplation, David symbolizing Christ. Chanting I won't fear, arise Lord save me, you smote my enemies, broke ungodly teeth, securing your blessing upon thy people. Thus are David's psalms, amazing start, end.
