Day 259 - Read Psalm 66-68

The psalmist praised God for his deeds and for hearing the needs of His people. God answered his prayers and did not reject him. Chapter sixty-seven is a song calling the nations to praise God. A request was made to God to allow His face shine on His people that others will know His saving power. Chapter sixty-eight is a song of David recognizing the power of God and His ability to scatter those who are wicked. David compared the reward of the righteous and God’s judgement of the wicked. He praised God for salvation and the deliverance He provided from death. He recognized God’s love for His people, Israel.
