Psalm 68:1-3
Introduction
We have a lengthy Psalm before us, in which we will not be able to touch every verse of it, much less every phrase. It is a full Psalm, with many messages that could be brought from it. We will limit ourselves to one simple message from the Psalm as we trek on through the forest of the Psalms.

Psalm 69
Introduction
Shoshannim means lilies, and it is in reference to the spring time and the passover. It is a very prophetic Psalm. Spurgeon says of it
“In the forty-fifth they were golden lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh, and blooming in the fair gardens which skirt the ivory palaces: in this we have the lily among thorns, the lily of the valley, fair and beautiful, blooming in the garden of Gethsemane.”

Revelation 7:1-4
Introduction
We ended our last study on the sixth seal. As Chapter 7 opens, it is often referred to as a parenthetical. The idea of the seals being opened is put on pause, and this chapter now introduces us to two groups of people. So we will look at these two groups of people and make some notes of them.

Psalm 71:1-2
Introduction
We truly have a wonderful Psalm before us. This is a great Psalm, because we have a message of a Seasoned Saint who has seized onto God as his source of strength and salvation, and has not slipped. There is a message for the young, a message for the middle aged, as well as a message for the senior saint! The Secret to success is ultimately unveiled in this Psalm, so lets stop and consider the wisdom of God’s aged saint helping us tonight.

Psalm 72:1-4
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34
Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

Psalm 73:1-3
Introduction
Most of the Psalms we have dealt with have been written by David. We are now given a series of Psalms that are ascribed to Asaph. It is unclear wether they were all written by Asaph, or simply given to his care to sing them. According to Scripture he did both of those things.
2 Chronicles 29:30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Psalm 74:12
Introduction
This is a Prayer of the Persecuted. The first part of the Psalm very clearly presents the difficulty and problems the Psalmist is facing. This is not just outward, personal, but this is a serious persecution in which the Temple is destroyed. It is very likely a prophetic Psalm looking to the time when the Babylonians come in a burn the temple. There is certainly reference to that in 7-8.

Psalm 75:1-10
Introduction
This Psalm is filled with so many significant verses. I have referenced Ps 75:6-7 many times in messages. It opens with a bang of thanksgiving, and it closes with the same sort of continued praise!
There is no way to know for certain, but Matthew Henry states that this Psalm may have been when David was made king after Saul’s reign. I find it fits well, and will look at it in that context, we do not know for certain.

Psalm 76:1-12
Introduction
We have a victorious Psalm before us tonight!
Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
As Christians we are on the winning side! Not every battle is going to go our way, not every day is going to be a great day, but understand, the war, is already won through Jesus Christ! In the end, we win!

Psalm 77:1-3,
Introduction
There is an old song that says, Just a little talk Jesus makes it right! God is a living person. We often turn to another person. God sets there ignored, and He is the one that can actually do something about our situation! He is the one that actually has the power to solve the problem!
Sweet hour of Prayer
