73. Continued. Asaph tells of a time when he was full of pain and bitter and behaved like an ignorant beast. Still he knew that he was not alone, that God was his guide and companion. He knew his true strength was in God. He knew that those who are not with God will perish, but he had made God his sovereign.
74. A Plea for Relief. Asaph asked God why He had rejected them? He asked God to remember His people from old and redeem them. God's enemies destroyed the sanctuary and defiled His dwelling place. They were determined to destroy God. Asaph wondered how long God would let the enemy think they had won. Asaph asked God to destroy them. He knew God brought salvation and that He performed saving miracles. Asaph asked God to defend them.
75. The Justice of God. Asaph thanked God for being there. Judgement is God's and He knows when that time will be. God tells the arrogant to stop bragging to Him about how great they think they are. No one can make a man great, but God will be the judge. Wicked people drink God's wrath. As for Asaph, he promised to sing praises to God!
76. The Victorious Power of God. Judah belonged to God. He protected His people from arrows and weapons of war. None of the most valiant warriors can go up against God. All are helpless when He is angry.
Tomorrow read Psalms 76:8-78:24
