Psalm 129:4
“The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 129Meaning
Verse 4 answers the preceding wound imagery with liberation imagery. Divine righteousness is shown as breaking the means by which hostile power restrains and controls.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 129:4 inside its literary unit and the whole of Psalm 129; the verse does not support that overclaim.
Reflection
Support concrete forms of release from abuse, exploitation, and coercive control while refusing retaliatory abuse.
