More than enough

Psalms 17 and 18: The end of Psalm 17 reminds me of Canadian social reformer J.S. Woodsworth, whom I've been reading about this week for another course. Woodsworth was a Methodist minister, proponent of the social gospel and founder of CCF (precursor to NDP) was moved to lobby for changes to economic structures so the cycle of poverty wouldn't be perpetuated. He moved from saving souls to saving body and souls, writes his daughter Grace McInnis in A Man to Remember: She quotes one of his articles: ""At least in this world, souls are always incorporated in bodies; and to save a man, you must save his body, soul, and spirit. To really save one man, you must transform the community in which he lives.'" (p. 91).
In Psalm 17, a prayer of deliverance from persecutors, the Psalmist expresses the hope that mortals in this life have enough and "may their children have more than enough; may they leave something over to their little ones." Perhaps this could be interpreted as enough faith and security or spirituality, but I'm thinking, like Woodsworth, we can't separate our bodies from our spirits. And I'm thinking the Psalmist would agree that transformation has to be communal, not just individual. Psalm 18 is the longest Psalm I've encountered so far -- 50 verses of a thanksgiving for victory, also found in 2 Samuel 22. I suppose I should read it there in the context of the narrative.
