Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens This movement opens in alarm and immediacy. There is no slow entry into prayer—only the sharp cry of someone who knows the enemy is already too close. “Deliver me… protect me… save me.” The verbs stack on top of one another, as if a single word cannot carry the weight of…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens This movement is where the psalm startles us. If the first section named injustice, this one dares to ask God to act. The language is sharp, even violent—“Break the teeth in their mouths, O God.” And if we’re honest, this is where many of us instinctively pull back. It feels too…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens There are moments when reading Scripture feels less like comfort and more like confrontation. This is one of them. Psalm 58 opens not with a whisper of trust, but with a hard, direct question aimed at those who should know better: “Do you rulers indeed speak justly?” It’s a question that…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens “My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody.” (v.7) This is not the voice of someone who has escaped the cave. It is the voice of someone who has decided where his heart will stand. My heart is steadfast—repeated, almost as if spoken…

A Snap-Fiction Story By Micah Siemens In the hill-kingdom of Aereth, there stood a watchtower higher than any keep. From its crown, one could see the whole valley at once: trade roads winding like pale ribbons, fields ripening or failing, rivers flashing warnings in the sun. Those who ruled the kingdom trusted the tower more…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens “My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts—the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.” (v.4) The psalmist doesn’t soften the reality here. He doesn’t speak in abstractions. He names the danger with visceral imagery—lions, weapons, sharp tongues.…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens “Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge.” The repetition here is not poetic flourish—it’s desperation. Be merciful… be merciful. Not once, but twice. This is the prayer that rises when strength is already spent. The psalmist doesn’t come with arguments or…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens “In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise,” (v.10) The psalmist begins this final movement by repeating himself—and that repetition feels intentional, almost liturgical. After fear, surveillance, tears, and prayer, he returns again to the same anchor: God’s word. Not explanations. Not outcomes. God’s spoken faithfulness.…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens “All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.” (v.5) There’s a particular weariness that comes from being misrepresented. From knowing that no matter what you say or do, it will be twisted. The psalmist feels that weight here. Not just attacked, but studied—his words…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens “Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me.” (v.1) This psalm opens with pressure. Not imagined fear, but lived experience. All day long. That phrase carries exhaustion in it. The kind that doesn’t let up. The kind that makes you aware…
