Psalm 71 was written by an anonymous individual, who could have been David, who was no doubt up in years. As such, he recounts God’s goodness and faithfulness that was shown to him through his many years. In his frail years, he calls upon the Lord to keep him all the way to end. A prayer that should apply to us as well. Psalm 72 was written by Solomon and is a prayer for the wisdom to rule the people that finds its greatest fulfillment, of course, in the coming reign of Jesus upon the earth in the millennium. Psalm 73 is all about foundational truths. People so often try to understand God through their circumstances as this psalmist tried to do. Thankfully he came back to the foundational truths that he had learned and realized that the wicked, even though outwardly seem to have everything together, yet they were on thin ice. The subject matter of the Psalm 74 is a time of real overwhelming odds as the enemy has come in, invaded the sanctuary and burned it to the ground…even setting up their own wicked heathen worship in its midst. And God had let it all happen. Why? Psalm 75 answered the question of the previous psalm. God will step in when the time is right - not our time, but His.
