Reflections On Good And Evil

 "Commit your way to YAHWEH; put your trust in HIM and let HIM act.
Then will your revenge come, beautiful as the dawn, and the justification of your cause, bright as the noonday sun.
The mouth of the virtuous utters wisdom and his tongue speaks of what is right.
His steps have never faltered, for the law of GOD is in his heart.
YAHWEH is the salvation of the righteous; in time of distress, HE is their refuge.
YAHWEH helps them, and rescues them from the oppressor; HE saves them, for they sought shelter in HIM.
 - Psalm 37:5-6. 30-31. 39-40


(This psalm has entered into the Gospel through the big portal of the Beatitudes [Matthew 5:4].  It is adequate for all those who live outside and far away from the goods of this land.  At the same time, it  becomes a clamor and a denunciation against those who rob others of their land.

Neither power nor riches give access to the inheritance that GOD promised to HIS children.  The psalmist offers a very strong warning against all evildoers.  At the same time, encourages the righteous with the promise of help from the LORD.  And our LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, in the Beatitudes in Chapter 5 of the Gospel of Matthew, has taught us the way to true life and eternal happiness.)
