83. Prayer for Israel's Defense. Asaph asked God to rise up against the enemies who plotted against His people. Other places and people had been subdued by God and Asaph asked God to protect the nation of Israel from the descendants of Lot. Asaph asked God to wipe them away like dust. He wanted their enemies to know they were protected by God.
84. Longing for Worship in the Temple. The place where God lives is lovely. Blessed are those whose strength is in God. Even though there may be weeping and sadness, life goes on and we end up in God's house because we have obeyed Him. Blessed is the man who trusts God.
85. Prayer for God's Mercy on the Nation. God had restored Israel and forgiven them before and they wanted to be forgiven again. Over and over they returned to their wicked ways and forgot God. They promised to be good this time.
"Righteousness and peace kiss each other."
86. Prayer for Deliverance. David prayed for protection from his enemies. He gave himself to God. He knew God heard him and he asked God for help. David knew how great God is. Though nations could do great things, none were as great as God. David asked God to purify his heart so he could glorify God. David had been saved by God before and he asked for the favor again. Ruthless men who did not know God were after David and he wanted their plans interrupted by God. David asked for a sign so all would know David was in His care. David was comforted.
Tomorrow read Psalms 87-89:37
