David realizes that he is living in a beautiful cedar palace while God's dwelling place is in a tent. Then God gives Nathan the prophet a long message for David. He tells him that his dynasty will last forever and that his son will build God's temple. Then God gives a string of stunning military victories to David.
In this reading of Psalm 109, I realized that there is a long quote from David's political enemies going from v6 to v19. This makes a big difference in understanding this psalm. It just goes to show how important it is to realize where quotes end!
Rather than connect Romans 12-13 using the NLT, I am going to use our Plain English Translation to remind us of what was in Romans 12. The PET is the English translation of our Plain Indonesian Translation. Thanks to Alan Medira for reading the verses from Romans 12. Alan is a new member working in the recruiting department of Pioneer Bible Translators.
