Psalm 59:1
Introduction
It is amazing how many of the Psalms are born out of great hardship. May we ever be reminded that hard times are not without fruit.
Spurgeon “The Music of the sanctuary is no small degree indebted to the trials of the saints.”
Great trials bring great victories, and even great songs. Don’t think that a trial is worthless or vain there are great lessons to be learned in every trial and difficulty in life.

Psalm 60:1-5
Introduction
In this Psalm, we see a clear distinction between two paths. Walking with God, or wandering away from God. In reality there is not another option. In your Christian life, you are either walking with God, or you are walking away from God!
You have seen people walk in sync, that is the way we should be with God! Are you in sync with God?

Revelation 6:1-2
Introduction
Let's go back, just for a moment, and refresh where we have been. Revelation 1
Rev. 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev. 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

Psalm 61:1-2
Introduction
Overwhelmed means to overspread or crush beneath something violent and weighty, or to become faint, or feeble at the weight of something.
We sometimes use it in a positive way, overwhelmed with joy, but in the Bible, we find it's context is always negative.
Psa. 55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Psa. 77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

Psalm 62:1-12
Introduction
This Psalm gives us some great truths about man that the Psalmist points out to us. Many of the Psalms relate specifically to an enemy, a circumstance, this Psalm contains great truths about mankind in general. We find mankind’s position in contrast to that of a christian, someone who has firmly placed his faith in God alone for Salvation! That phrase is abundantly clear in this Psalm.

Psalm 63:1-11
Introduction
The Title of the Psalm included most of the time in verse number 1, reads, “A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” Psalm 3’s title reads, “A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.” Only time mentioned in Psalms.
David is the author of this Psalm. There were a few times that David was in the wilderness. While he was running from king Saul who was trying to kill him, is probably the most notable, and longest time David was in the wilderness. I do not believe that was the time that it was written, because verse 11 reads, “But the king shall rejoice in God” I believe that is written of himself, not of king Saul.

Psalm 64:1-10
Introduction
Many of the Psalms are based on the affliction of good people. This Psalm is no different. There are many reasons, many times that righteous people suffer through no fault of their own!
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Psalm 65:1-13
Introduction
A Psalm is literally a song. We of course do not have the music score written down for us, so we have no way of knowing how it sounded when song. If you think about it, many of our hymns speak of hardship, and how God has blessed. We are literally going through the song book of the Jewish nation as complied and largely written by David.

Psalm 66:1-7
Introduction
There are some pretty clear breaks in this Psalm as you read it and study it.
Being submitted to God doesn’t come naturally, or without effort. We find two completely different reasons for being submitted to God, based on where they start from. You only fit into one of two categories, you are a born-again child of God, or you are not. There is no middle ground. You are saved, or you are not saved.

Psalm 67:1-7
Introduction
The Psalm, is certainly a victorious Psalm, much like we would sing Victory in Jesus, A Mighty Fortress, Faith is the Victory, He is Able to Deliver Thee, or Stand Up- Stand UP for Jesus, it is a song of deliverance, joy, gladness, and praise to God for the victory given.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
