The Lord Will

Psalm 106:11

β€œAnd the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 106

Meaning

This is retrospective war-and-deliverance poetry about the Exodus; it is not a template for private revenge or religious violence.

Confession and deliverance at the sea

The community confesses ancestral rebellion and remembers God's rescue at the Red Sea.

Read carefully

It recounts an ancient divine judgment and gives no private mandate for violence.

Reflection

Distinguish description of an ancient judgment from authorization for your own conduct.
