Psalms 9-14 share several recurring themes, including honest expressions of struggle, frustration, and even resentment as people around the Psalmist who are not faithful to God willingly prosper unjustly and at the expense of others who suffer. The poetry of these Psalms also reflect prayers that move – move the Psalmist from lament into faith and move a God who sees and responds to the struggles and pleas of His people. We also find here an unmistakable revelation that God has created his people to bear his image in this way – looking for, listening to, and being present with others who struggle, even and especially folks who may not be like us or who may have very different perspectives on life.
