Grouch, grouch

David was known as a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22) yet he seems to do a lot complaining. Some people find it difficult to read Psalms because of David's open desire for vengeance. I am glad that the psalms record David's feelings. I grouch about people too. My problems are not as big as David's. I am queen of a very little empire, myself and two dogs with occasionally a husband and grown children condescending to be citizens. David was a real king. Real kings have real enemies.  King David told God how he felt. King David told God what he wanted to befall his enemies.
This is a psalm of 28 verses, 26 of which are David requesting God to give his self appointed enemies their comeuppance. 
Then there are the last two verses. 
He prays 
²⁷ Let those who desire my vindication
   shout for joy and be glad,
   and say evermore,
‘Great is the Lord,
   who delights in the welfare of his servant.’ 
²⁸ Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness
   and of your praise all day long.


We can have our time of complaining to God. A time to tell Him what our imagination would like Him to do to those who 'seem to have a thing against us.' We can unload our burdens on God.
But we need to add the end to the story, a prayer for  those against us end praising God.


Yes, I think I have graduated to this stage for the inhabitants of Kessington Lane who sued us.
