Today’s reading includes Psalms of Asaph. No, not all the Psalms were written by David.
Psalm 50
- God will judge the earth (v 1-6)
- God requires more than mere religious ritual (v 7-15)
- God has no pleasure in the hypocrites who pretend to worship Him (v 16-22)
- God is glorified by the praise of men who live right (v 23)
Psalm 73
- It’s easy to envy the unsaved who seem to have no troubles (v 1-14)
- But see the unbelievers as God sees them, and we realize that their end is not what we want for ourselves (v 15 -20)
- May God forgive us for foolishly and ignorantly doubting Him (v 21-28)
Psalm 74
- Many are those who oppose true and proper worship (v 1-11)
- God is known for His power in creation (v 12-17)
- God should exercise that power against those who oppose Israel (18-23)
- they have reproached the LORD
- they have blasphemed His name
- this is His cause
- these are His enemies
- this continual rebellion is against God
