I understand this psalm to be about David
praying that God cream his enemies, whether God uses David or other means to do
so. I am not antiwar so I do not see this as people performing "ritual
murder" which as described below in midnight meetings better describes the
pagans who met in the "groves" for sex and other purposes than a king of a
country or people as David was. I would also say that anyone who uses
anything as a pretext for hate and murder, whether the Bible or The Turner
Diaries, is the problem not the written text.
-----
What the hell do you think I have
been screaming about for over 30 years
now; somebody is using the bible for
ritual murder - they hold midnight
meetings and judge who will live and who
will die - they come in many
colors and many disguises.
Who wrote
such a terrible psalm as the one I repeat below - it is ritual
murder and a
prayer for destruction
The King James Bible

Psalms, psalm 109
"1": Hold not thy
peace, O God of my praise;
"2": For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth
of the deceitful are
opened against me: they have spoken against me with a
lying tongue.
"3": They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and
fought
against me without a cause.
"4": For my love they are my
adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
"5": And they have rewarded me
evil for good, and hatred for my love.
"6": Set thou a wicked man over him:
and let Satan stand at his right
hand.
"7": When he shall be judged, let
him be condemned: and let his prayer
become sin.
"8": Let his days be
few; and let another take his office.
"9": Let his children be fatherless,
and his wife a widow.
"10": Let his children be continually vagabonds, and
beg: let them seek
their bread also out of their desolate places.
"11":
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers
spoil his
labour.
"12": Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there
be
any to favour his fatherless children.
"13": Let his posterity be cut
off; and in the generation following let
their name be blotted
out.
"14": Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD;
and
let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
"15": Let them be
before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the
memory of them from
the earth.
"16": Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but
persecuted the
poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in
heart.
"17": As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted
not
in blessing, so let it be far from him.
"18": As he clothed himself
with cursing like as with his garment, so
let it come into his bowels like
water, and like oil into his bones.
"19": Let it be unto him as the garment
which covereth him, and for a
girdle wherewith he is girded
continually.
"20": Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the
LORD, and of
them that speak evil against my soul.
"21": But do thou for
me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because
thy mercy is good, deliver
thou me.
"22": For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within
me.
"23": I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up
and
down as the locust.
"24": My knees are weak through fasting; and my
flesh faileth of
fatness.
"25": I became also a reproach unto them: when
they looked upon me they
shaked their heads.
"26": Help me, O LORD my
God: O save me according to thy mercy:
"27": That they may know that this
is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast
done it.
"28": Let them curse, but
bless thou: when they arise, let them be
ashamed; but let thy servant
rejoice.
"29": Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them
cover
themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
"30": I
will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise
him among
the multitude.
"31": For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to
save him from
those that condemn his
soul.
