Chapter 73: God is Good
A Psalm of Asaph.
God is good to Israel, every one
of them that has a clean heart. Those people who speak wickedly, set their
mouths against heaven and are filled with pride, these same people are the
ungodly. “…the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.” (Psalms
73:12)
These people, who
prosper in the world wickedly, will eventually be “…consumed with terrors.” (Psalms
73:19) Those who put their trust in the Lord however will be received up
in glory.
Chapter 74: The Foolish Shall Say: No Prophets
Maschil of Asaph.
The
wicked will destroy the synagogues when “They said in their hearts, Let us destroy
them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. We
see not our signs: there is no more any prophets…” (Psalms 74:8-9)
The author is singing/praying to
God and asking God to remember that the wicked will always blaspheme his name
(verse 18). The author continues to ask God to remember that, and to not forget
the poor and needy that have respect for His covenant.
