The Lord Will

Psalm 139:19

β€œSurely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 139

Meaning

The violent language belongs to prayer and moral protest; it is not authorization for private killing or vigilantism.

Read carefully

The psalmist addresses judgment to God; the verse is not a private violence mandate.

Reflection

Bring anger at violence before God rather than enacting private revenge.
