Food for thought. Tom Wright, The Case for the Psalm, 151: Our attempts at political theology lurch to and fro between the political equivalents of pantheism (assuming that things must be left to go on under their own steam by the automatic operation of due process) and dualism (assuming that things are so bad that the only solution is either to opt ouT and retreat into a private sphere or to revolt and change the system entirely). The Psalms offer a different vision: a people of praise who, out of their celebration of Gods goodness in creation and out of their eager anticipation of his coming in judgment at last, speak his word and his truth to those in power, reminding them that they are answerable to the God who will one day hold them accountable.
