Psalms 103-105

[wolfpurplemoon]

Psalm 103: I've read Verse 5 in several translations, and still can't fathom what "so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's" means. One version dropped it all together! :EDIT: OK, apparently there is a well known myth (not by me) that eagles shed their feathers and beaks at the age of 40 and then regrow them and live another 30 years. That's just crazy.
Psalm 104: Praising God for all the stuff he made, with a little tagged on plea to kill wicked people
Psalm 105: A reminder of the events of Exodus

I'm just over half way through now, I've kept this up for 6 months!!

It seems very odd for a being such as God to give people a choice if it was apparent to him from the beginning that so much evil and suffering would result from it. One would think that something with the qualities of God could have thought of a better way to do things.
