When I read this Psalm, I envision a man who is at the end of his rope. He’s had enough, he feels alone, he thinks God has abandoned him, he wonders if his enemies are going to get the last laugh. It’s almost as though he’s having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve probably faced some of these seasons in your life.

Psalm chapter 12 is a really dark chapter; it’s gritty and it’s raw and it’s almost repulsive to read at first.
