Be Angry and Do Not Sin - The Imprecatory Psalms

/

The "imprecatory" psalms - the psalms of anger against injustice - are rarely read or preached on in church. This is unfortunate because they are a gift: Spirit-inspired words to voice righteous indignation about the very real evils in the world. Paul calls on us to be truthful -- to "BE ANGRY, and do not sin." These psalms allow us to do this, with humility (recognizing our own sinfulness), and to give our anger to God to handle it in his way and his time.
