Psalms
Psalm 79:13b "We will show forth Your praise to all generations."
Day 179 – Psalm 79
“We will show forth Your praise to all generations.” Psalm 79:13b
COMMENCING ON A DISMAL NOTE
Psalm 79 began on a dismal and negative note. Asaph was virtually overwhelmed by the destruction and carnage he saw inflicted on Jerusalem.
COMMUNICATION WITH GOD IN PRAYER
Asaph did what he thought was the very best thing to do. He sought to communicate all he thought and felt in prayer to God.
1. He laid before the Lord the terrible sins of the wicked nations.
2. He spoke to the Lord about unfeeling and wicked neighbours too.
3. He appealed for Divine justice to be upheld.
4. He pleaded for Divine deliverance as well.
5. He offered a strong imprecatory suggestion to mete out the strongest punishment on the wicked.
CONCLUDING ON A POSITIVE NOTE
Asaph concluded his psalm on a strong and positive note.
“So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture,
Will give You thanks forever;
We will show forth Your praise to all generations.”
Psalm 79:13
