Psalm 71: The Testimony of the Aged: The psalmist speaks out of mature experience with the Lord. He prays for help but affirms his confidence in the One he has found faithful from his youth up..Although in danger, the psalmist will always have hope and will always praise God. Despite life's troubles, he counts on God to restore him and commits himself to a life of praise.

Psalm 77: Meditating When Distressed: Asaph is unable to find comfort even in prayer. He cannot understand why God seems unwilling to express His covenant love to Israel.

Psalm 83: Danger and Deliverance: Surrounding nations actively plot the destruction of Israel. The psalmist calls on God to act and deliver His people.
