Psalm 5
“St Francis Rejecting the World 
and Embracing Christ”.



9     And they have come against me rejoicing, plying their whips over my innocent head.
10  Those who hate me for no reason are more than the hairs of my head; my enemies who persecuted me without cause have been comforted and I unloosed those whom I did not plunder.





Comment


There seems to be little in the way of fairness and justice here.  The psalmist is being swamped by those who seek nothing but ridicule and punishment.

Reflection



It is sometimes very difficult to continue, in the face of opposition such as this.  Yet, all through the psalm, the psalmist has remained focused on God.  This will not change.  Are you also as resolute?
