Evaluasi Kritis terhadap Paham Mazmur Kutukan di tengah-tengah Fenomena Problem Etis terhadap Mazmur 83:1-19 [A Critical Evaluation of the Understanding of the Curse and Ethical Problems in Psalm 83:1-19]
Abstract
The idea of man’s belief in curses poses a problem for the curse Psalms. Among believers, there is a misunderstanding of the curse in Psalm 83:1-19. A critical evaluation is needed to correctly understand this curse Psalm because it contains complex life values. Critical evaluation is part of the resolution process of ethical problems in the lives of believers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to offer a critical evaluation of the understanding of this curse Psalm amidst the issue of ethical problems in the lives of believers so that every believer knows the intention of the Psalmist in the actualization of human morals. The result of this study shows that the Psalmist offers his prayers to punish his enemies in order to demonstrate God’s justice, truth, and mighty work over the sin of man. Instead of hoping his enemies will be punished, the Psalmist emphasizes God’ s love. With this understanding, believers should be enriched knowing God’s love and punishment are not contradictory. The method used in this study is a literature review.
