PSALMS - Book Five at a glance

Psalms 107:1 - 150:6         

 

Summary of Book Five: “These psalms praise God’s works, recount the blessing of righteous living, thank God for deliverance and praise God for his wonderful word. They remind us that the best sacrifice we can offer to God is a faithful and obedient.” *

 

Interesting fact: The author of this third book is Asaph, who is one of the leaders of David’s Levitical Temple choirs. (see 1 Chronicles 25:1) Asaph explains that until he entered God’s sanctuary he could not understand the justice in allowing the wicked to thrive while the righteous endured hardship. However when he saw that one day justice would be done, Asaph acknowledged God’s wisdom.

 

The Blueprint - Book Five: “This collection of Psalms, mainly written by Asaph or his descendants, is similar to the book of Leviticus. Just as Leviticus discusses the Tabernacle and God’s holiness, many of these psalms discuss the Temple and God’s enthronement. Because God is almighty, we can turn to him for deliverance. These psalms praise God because He is holy, and his perfect holiness deserves our worship and reverence.” *

In His name & for His glory,
