What are some of the characteristics of a life devoted to God and one devoted to selfishness? Let’s look at Psalm 73.
A Psalm by Asaph. (WEB)
Do we respect pure hearts or envy the temporary wealth of the arrogant wicked?
Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm. They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men. (Ps 73:1-5 WEB)
Are arrogance, self-delusion, cruel talk, oppression and blasphemy against heaven markers of wicked people?
That’s why they wear arrogance like a necklace, why violence covers them like clothes. Their eyes bulge out from eating so well; their hearts overflow with delusions. They scoff and talk so cruel; from their privileged positions they plan oppression. Their mouths dare to speak against heaven! Their tongues roam the earth! (Ps 73:6-9 CEB)
Is there hope for God’s people, a hope that trusts that God will bring His people back?
God will bring his people back, and they will drink the water he so freely gives. (Ps 73:10 CEV)
What motivates arrogant wicked people? Have we kept our hearts clean in vain?
And they say, “How can God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?” Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches. All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence. For all the day long I have been stricken and rebuked every morning. If I had said, “I will speak thus,” I would have betrayed the generation of your children. (Ps 73:11-15 ESV)
If we keep trying, can we eventually understand the destiny of wicked people?
When I tried to understand all this, it seemed hopeless until I entered God’s sanctuary. Then I understood their destiny. (Ps 73:16-17 HCSB)
What is the end result of an evil and arrogant lifestyle?
You have certainly set them in slippery places; you will make them fall to their ruin. How desolate they quickly become, completely destroyed by calamities. Like a dream when one awakens, Lord, you will despise their image when you arise. When I chose to be bitter I was emotionally pained. Then, I was too stupid and didn’t realize I was acting like a wild animal with you. (Ps 73:18-22 ISV)
Even in the midst of great difficulties, do we trust that God is continually with us?
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. (Ps 73:23-24 KJV)
Have we gotten to that point in our spiritual growth that we desire nothing on earth, only God?
Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart fail, But God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed everyone who is unfaithful to You. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have set Lord Yahweh as my refuge, That I may recount all Your works. (Ps 73:25-28 LSB)
What did Jesus say about materialists who make no time for God?
And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. And he began thinking to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and I will store all my grain and my goods there. And I will say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years to come; relax, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!”’ But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is demanded of you; and as for all that you have prepared, who will own it now?’ Such is the one who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich in relation to God.” (Luke 12:16-21 NASB)

A Just King (Psalm 72)
Is there a king who will crush the oppressor, whom all nations will serve and be blessed by? Let’s look at Psalm 72.
By Solomon. (WEB)
Should we expect a king who brings justice, brings prosperity, righteousness, relieves the poor and destroys oppression?
God, endow the king with ability to render your justice, and the king’s son to render your right decisions. May he rule your people with right decisions and your oppressed ones with justice. May the mountains bring prosperity to the people and the hills bring righteousness. May he defend the afflicted of the people and deliver the children of the poor, but crush the oppressor. (Ps 72:1-4 ISV)
Under such a good king will the poor and needy learn to fear God?
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. (Ps 72:5-6 KJV)
Under a righteous king will honest and God-fearing people flourish? Will all nations eventually serve our King?
May the righteous flourish in his days, And abundance of peace until the moon is no more. May he also have dominion from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth. Let the desert creatures kneel before him, And his enemies lick the dust. Let the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands bring a present; The kings of Sheba and Seba offer tribute. And let all kings bow down to him, All nations serve him. (Ps 72:7-11 LSB)
Unlike many national leaders, does our eternal King help the needy rather than pander to the wealthy and powerful?
For he will save the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And he will save the lives of the needy. He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight; So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And they are to pray for him continually; They are to bless him all day long. (Ps 72:12-15 NASB)
May this king’s name endure forever? Does He bless all nations?
May grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway. May the crops flourish like Lebanon and thrive like the grass of the field. May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. Then all nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed. (Ps 72:16-17 NIV)
Is this the conclusion to a section of Psalms that is called the prayers of David?
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen. The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. (Ps 72:18-20 NKJV)
Who is this mysterious king that will bless all nations of the world?
“The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.” (Rev 11:15 NLT)

Protection (Psalm 71)
In a dangerous world that takes advantage of people, who can rescue us reliably? Let’s look at Psalm 71.
Where is the most reliable place for protection, for refuge and safety?
O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don’t let me be disgraced. Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me, and set me free. Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of cruel oppressors. O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood. Yes, you have been with me from birth; from my mother’s womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you! (Ps 71:1-6 NLT)
In old age will we feel even more vulnerable to robbery, elder financial abuse, fraud? Will we still trust in God’s protection when we become old and feeble?
I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge. My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long. Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails. For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together, saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.” (Ps 71:7-11 WEB)
Are there circumstances when we need God to intervene quickly? Do we meditate on the many times God rescued people throughout the Bible?
Don’t be far from me, God! My God, hurry to help me! Let my accusers be put to shame, completely finished off! Let those who seek my downfall be dressed in insults and disgrace! But me? I will hope. Always. I will add to all your praise. My mouth will repeat your righteous acts and your saving deeds all day long. I don’t even know how many of those there are! I will dwell on your mighty acts, my Lord. Lord, I will help others remember nothing but your righteous deeds. (Ps 71:12-16 CEB)
Have we known God since childhood, or come to faith at a later age? Will the next generation listen to us? Do we trust that God has a blessing awaiting after we suffer?
You have taught me since I was a child, and I never stop telling about your marvelous deeds. Don't leave me when I am old and my hair turns gray. Let me tell future generations about your mighty power. Your deeds of kindness are known in the heavens. No one is like you! You made me suffer a lot, but you will bring me back from this deep pit and give me new life. You will make me truly great and take my sorrow away. (Ps 71:17-21 CEV)
Are stringed instruments appropriate? Do we sing and shout for joy, or are we too shy, too conservative for that? Is our conversation God-centered?
I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt. (Ps 21:22-24 ESV)
Does God keep protecting those who are His, who are reborn of Him?
We know that everyone who has been born of God does not sin, but the One who is born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. (1 John 5:18 HCSB)

Hurry Lord (Psalm 70)
In urgent circumstances do we look to the Lord for immediate help? Let’s look at Psalm 70 (cp. Psalm 40:13-17).
For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. (WEB)
Have we ever cried out to God to save us in an emergency?
God, come to my rescue. Lord, hurry to help me. (Ps 70:1 ISV)
Have we ever been pursued by those who would ruin our lives, our reputations, our safety?
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. (Ps 70:2 KJV)
Do some mock and make fun of us with know-it-all attitudes? Will God shame them?
Let those turn back because of their shame Who say, “Aha, aha!” (Ps 70:3 LSB)
Is there joy in the Lord despite the hatred we sometimes receive from the world?
May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And may those who love Your salvation say continually, “May God be exalted!” (Ps 70:4 NASB)
Is humility a pretense or simply facing the truth, that even the wealthiest of us is in reality poor and needy?
But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay. (Ps 70:5 NIV)
If humility is a reality check and arrogance a delusion, does God lift up the humble because they value truth over self-deception? Do we?
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. (James 4:10 NKJV)

Save Me O God (Psalm 69)
Are we blessed when we are mocked, attacked because of our faith in God? Let’s look at Psalm 69.
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Lilies.” By David. (WEB)
Do we ever feel overwhelmed by life’s circumstances, by innumerable enemies?
Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life. I have sunk in deep clay, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me. I am weary with my calling out; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God. Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore. (Ps 69:1-4 LSB)
Do we humbly admit our foolishness and guilt? Though we are mocked for our faith, are we zealous for the assembly of the saints?
God, You know my foolishness, And my guilt is not hidden from You. May those who wait for You not be ashamed because of me, Lord God of armies; May those who seek You not be dishonored because of me, God of Israel, Because for Your sake I have endured disgrace; Dishonor has covered my face. I have become estranged from my brothers, And a stranger to my mother’s sons. For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on me. When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my disgrace. When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a proverb to them. Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And songs of mockery by those habitually drunk are about me. (Ps 69:5-12 NASB)
Do we look for both God’s temporal and His eternal salvation?
But I pray to you, Lord, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation. Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters. Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up or the pit close its mouth over me. (Ps 69:13-15 NIV)
Are we always in trouble in this life, just sometimes more urgent than others?
Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies. And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in trouble; Hear me speedily. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it; Deliver me because of my enemies. (Ps 69:16-18 NKJV)
Are the enemies of the cross sometimes more than the followers of God?
You know of my shame, scorn, and disgrace. You see all that my enemies are doing. Their insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. If only one person would show some pity; if only one would turn and comfort me. But instead, they give me poison for food; they offer me sour wine for my thirst. (Ps 69:19-21 NLT)
Does God have eternal punishment planned for those who persecute those loyal to Him?
Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent. Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them. Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt. Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous. (Ps 69:22-28 WEB)
What about us in a world of pain, are our thanks worth more to God than great sacrifice?
And me? I’m afflicted. I’m full of pain. Let your salvation keep me safe, God! I will praise God’s name with song; I will magnify him with thanks because that is more pleasing to the Lord than an ox, more pleasing than a young bull with full horns and hooves. Let the afflicted see it and be glad! You who seek God—let your hearts beat strong again because the Lord listens to the needy and doesn’t despise his captives. (Ps 69:29-33 CEB)
Will we one day live with God forever in a new heaven and earth, a new Jerusalem?
Heaven and earth will praise our God, and so will the oceans and everything in them. God will rescue Jerusalem, and he will rebuild the towns of Judah. His people will live there on their own land, and when the time comes, their children will inherit the land. Then everyone who loves God will also settle there. (Ps 69:34-36 CEV)
Did Jesus also have zeal for God’s house as He turned over the money-changers’ tables?
His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” (John 2:17 ESV)
How hard is it to feel blessed when we are ridiculed for our faith?
If you are ridiculed for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. (1 Peter 4:14 HCSB)
