Psalms 140-141

There is a familiar theme to these Psalms, and not because David was repetitious, but as we study his life we see enemies and adversity were common to him.
Familiar to these Psalms is David speaking about His enemies, the trouble it caused him, and his desire for His God to be victorious on his behalf, for the sake of God's name.
There is also a common theme in that he desires to stand distant from those who caused so much trouble to him, not desiring to be anything like them, because he trusted God would keep him from such outcomes.

Thank you! Question: since Hula was originally danced for pagan gods, do you think it's ok to dance hula to Christian music in the church setting?

I'll put it like this, as a pastor. I would never have it in a church setting, simply because of the appearance, regardless of its origins. I would answer the same about swing, polka, etc. It has nothing of spiritual value in a church, and is more of a distraction than anything else. It would steal valuable time from things of spiritual usefulness.
