May he defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
may he crush the oppressor.
I've been struggling with this post since Friday.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be yearning for or rejoicing over?
I do yearn for the oppressors to be crushed and the needy to be saved (not just their children because, as I keep hearing, all lives matter), and that ALL people (not just the afflicted) will be defended.
I need context for this verse. I'm not a biblical scholar but this seems so selective in his help.
I don't feel like rejoicing at the moment... I yearn for a happier time, post-defending, post-saving, post-crushing.
