Psalms 80-85

[wolfpurplemoon]

Psalm 80: A prayer from someone who says God has turned away from Israel and has done some bad things to his people. They will still worship him though...
Psalm 81: This appears to be God's answer to 80, he thinks that Israel didn't listen to him so he gave up on them.
Psalm 82: Continuing the theme started in 80 & 81
Psalm 83: OK, I get it, God will smite enemies of those who follow him without question, I'm just not sure I know why this is a good thing
Psalm 84: God, who is the sun and a shield, has houses that this guy would prefer to be the doorkeeper of than to dwell inside a wicked place
Psalm 85: Blah blah, God is being mean, blah blah.

My reasons for starting are hazy now, it's just something I've wanted to do for a while and for me the best way to do a challenge like this is to set myself a deadline and follow a schedule, so at the beginning of last year I knuckled down and got on with it after getting an illustrated Book of Genesis for Christmas.

By the end I'm not sure I will have achieved anything of great substance, apart from knowing a little more about what is in the bible, I have just less than three weeks to go and I'm not sure I've attained any insights I didn't have before.
