DAY 144: JOURNEY THROUGH THE BIBLE IN A YEAR

Today’s journey takes us through Psalms 60-62. Even in times of trial, King David’s trust in the Lord remains steadfast.

Ask God for His understanding of Psalms 60-62. Read Psalms 60-62. Let’s journey!

As we journey through the second book of Psalms, remember that nearly every psalm can be classified as a psalm of Lament or a psalm of praise. A lament is a cry to the Lord, asking Him to do something, most often when we are in pain, confused, or angry. A psalm of praise is a prayer of joy and celebration, thanking the Lord for His work.

Psalms 60-62: Today, an array of emotions is expressed by the Psalmist, King David. It begins with a plea to the Lord, asking Him to restore His favor upon Israel and King David. It proceeds with the Psalmist calling out to the Lord for rescue and concludes that all power is in the Lord who shall reward all for what they have done. God’s love is unfailing. (Psalm 60:1-62:12)

Read chapters 60-62, and ask yourself these questions: Are these psalms of lament or praise? How do you know? What does this psalm teach you about the Lord? Take a moment and offer at least one praise and one lament from your own life.
