Psalm 68:1–6, “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.”

David loved the Lord and longed to see Him glorified in all the earth. He prayed that the Lord would be known by His enemies and that the Lord would be feared by those who didn’t want to bow to the Lord. On the other hand, the righteous would have a different appreciation of the Lord. They find delight in the Lord and praise His Name forever. He cares for the poor and the needy and always has time for those who are alone in the world.

God be merciful unto us

Psalm 67:1–7, “God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.”

At times, it is hard to live this random, arbitrary, chaotic life that is the result of sin in the world. The Psalmist was struggling with the general issues of living and he cried out to the Lord to be merciful and to bless. God’s mercy comes to us when the Lord protects us from something that we deserve. Everyone struggles with some private sin  that sin causes consequences in our lives. The Psalmist longed for the security of living within the context of God’s perfect plans. He prayed that the nations would come to the Lord and realise that the Lord is King of all creation. He longed to with the security that would come when all the world bowed before the Lord as God.
