Psalms
Psalm 75:9b "I will sing praises to the God of Jacob."
Day 57 – Psalm 75
“I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.” Psalm 75:9b
UNABLE TO PRAISE GOD
The psalmist Asaph could not find a reason to praise God when he wrote Psalm 74. The nearest approximation to giving praise to God lay in the hope of the poor and needy being given divine deliverance (Psalm 74:21). The psalmist had many petitions to God. When the answers were not forthcoming, he found himself unable to praise God.
A NEW SPIRIT OF PRAISE
God had answered his prayers. He had given full assurance that the wicked would not go unpunished for their evil deeds. The psalmist responded with praise at this juncture.
“But I will declare forever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.”
Psalm 75:9
