📖 DAILY BIBLE READING & 🙏 LORD'S PRAYER – Psalms 71–75 (KJV)

Описание: Psalm 71 is the prayer of an aging believer who has trusted God since youth. Surrounded by adversaries, he pleads for continued protection, asks God not to forsake him in old age, and vows to proclaim God’s power to the next generation.

Psalm 72 is a royal psalm envisioning the ideal king—one who rules with justice, defends the poor, brings peace, and reigns universally. Though connected to Solomon, its scope points ultimately to the Messiah’s perfect reign.

Psalm 73 wrestles with the prosperity of the wicked. Asaph nearly loses faith until he enters God’s sanctuary and gains eternal perspective, realizing the wicked stand on slippery ground while God is the believer’s true portion.

Psalm 74 is a national lament after the destruction of the Temple. The psalmist questions God’s silence, recalls His past mighty acts, and pleads for Him to rise up, remember His covenant, and restore His people.

Psalm 75 declares God as the righteous Judge who humbles the proud and exalts the humble. It emphasizes God’s perfect timing, His sovereign control over nations, and the certainty of divine justice.
