How do we ‘pray a psalm’ over Zimbabwe? I’m just wondering what people mean when they say this?

Don’t the Psalms have a fixed meaning at a specific point in time that we then apply through the lens of the gospel? I find them hard work — when I read them — and that was some time ago.

I don’t know about praying in the strict sense, but e.g. that Psalm 52 Angela is now so pleased with, indeed originated in the Doeg-inspired massacre but is very readily applicable to all situations where wicked men appear to be getting away with who knows what.  Preached on it last month and scared the pants off some!

Is it available online to listen to?

Thanks for asking Andrew, I’m flattered ;) Unfortunately none of our church’s sermons is online; and although I believe its main 9.15 and 6.30 service sermons are recorded, the ones at 11am (where I spoke) aren’t.

However if you (or anyone else here) PM me I’ll send you an outline of what I said.
