Psalm part 1:6

Psalm 88: Lament for the Suffering: This psalm captures the grief of the suffering saint of every era. The psalmist shares his anguish and records his prayer. Despite his prayers he has suffered and felt despair all his life.

Psalm 91: Praise for Security: The psalmist testifies to the benefits of trust in God. God and His angels guard the believer and the Lord Himself promises protection.

Psalm 95: God, the Great King: The psalmist calls us to acknowledge the Lord as the great God above all others and to worship Him. We worship by hearing and responding obediently to His voice. Not to respond is to lose our opportunity for rest.

Psalm 108: Praise from the Confident: David praises God and expresses his confidence in God's great love. David prays for God's help in battle sure that with God we will gain the victory.

Psalm 109: A Prayer against the unrighteous: The psalmist asks God to act against those who have unjustly attacked him. He expresses his desire that the wicked be found guilty and suffer retribution. The psalmist' grim antagonism toward the wicked is seen to be justified as he describes the harm the wicked have done others. The psalm ends with an appeal for help against the wicked, who threaten and oppress the psalmist himself.
