May 10, Day 130

Today's Reading

Psalms. I mentioned Psalm 50:3-4 in yesterday's post.  Throughout today's reading, I thought of these Psalms in the context of David's heart and Israel's victories over enemies.  Several verses took on new meaning in light of the history of when they were written...

Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! Psalm 53:1 (NLT)

9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me victory over Edom? 10 Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies? 11 Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless. 12 With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes. Psalm 60:9-12 (NLT)

9 But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 10 For God says, “I will break the strength of the wicked, but I will increase the power of the godly.” Psalm 75:9-10 (NLT)
