În Psalmul 58
, David, omul lui Dumnezeu, vorbește despre relațiile dintre oameni, relații ce sunt adesea guvernate de:
•CALOMIE (v.3, 4, Ps. 140closePsalm 140
Deliver Me, O Lord, from Evil Men
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
140:1 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
preserve me from violent men,
2 who plan evil things in their heart
and stir up wars continually.
3 They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's,
and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah
4 Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
preserve me from violent men,
who have planned to trip up my feet.
5 The arrogant have hidden a trap for me,
and with cords they have spread a net;
beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah
6 I say to the Lord, You are my God;
give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord!
7 O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation,
you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted! Selah
9 As for the head of those who surround me,
let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
10 Let burning coals fall upon them!
Let them be cast into fire,
into miry pits, no more to rise!
11 Let not the slanderer be established in the land;
let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and will execute justice for the needy.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name;
the upright shall dwell in your presence. (ESV)

-calomnia este în esență o minciună tendențioasă, făcută cu scopul clar de a discredita, de a distruge onoarea cuiva.
•CLEVETIRE
-clevetirea poate fi definită drept o acțiune conștientă cu scopul de a ponegri, a vorbi de rău, a blama, a batjocori sau a bârfi pe cineva.
•COMPETIȚIE
-luptă, rivalitate, concurs, întrecere. Oamenii ce se întrec, se lupta fără reguli, fără milă.
•CORUPȚIE
-corupția este acea abatere de la moralitate, cinste și datorie. Implică: desfrâu, descompunere, degenerare, declasare, putrefacție morală și spirituală.
Aceasta este lumea în care a trăit David, aceasta este lumea în care trăim și noi.
NEDREPTATEA, NESTATORNICIA, NECREDINȚA și NEBUNIA sunt non-valorile ce definesc din nefericire umanitatea.
-cel mai tare câștigă
-cel mai vocal este socotit liderul ideal…
Totul pâna într-o zi. Nu știm când va fi, dar știm că în acea zi Dumnezeu va acționa, va interveni!
Există și aici în acest psalm o RUGĂCIUNE înălțată spre Dumnnezeu dintr-o inimă frântă și rănită, la această rugăciune, Dumnezeu dă un RĂSPUNS ce se dovedește a fi extrem de dureros pentru cei răi. Cuvintele rostite de David dovedesc această afirmație (răzbunare, zdrobire, risipire, topire).
REZULTATUL este unul deosebit, și se adresează tuturor categoriilor de oameni.
-cei fără prihană primesc RĂSPLATĂ!
-oamenii vor RECUNOAȘTE puterea lui Dumnezeu!
-cei răi vor avea parte de judeacată și vor simți RĂZBUNAREA Domnului….
Trăiește în lumină!
Cu dragoste,
Ciprian Bârsan
