Can you elaborate on that a little more? Which psalms in particular are you speaking of?

P.S. Thanks for all the great input guys, keep it coming!
Psalm 55, for example:



Quote:
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
verses 12-15
This may sound weird but this Psalm was a great comfort to me when I was going thru my divorce.
