Moreover, Asaph wants his enemy to repent and to seek the…

waited for God in Zion was full of the solemn beauty of holiness (Psalm 29:2; Psalm 96:9). In the New Testament the Psalter is still a manual of social praise. The "hymn" which Jesus sang with His disciples after the Last Supper (Matthew 26:30) would be a Hebrew psalm, probably from the Hallel ( 113-118) which was used at he Passover service, and various references in the Epistles point to the continued employment of the ancient psalms in Christian worship (1 Corinthians 14:26 Ephesians 5:19…

He feels that God has forsaken him and accuses…

our Creator never does. He never does something wrong. He is perfect. We can not comprehend God’s power and ability to do anything, His power is so large we can not begin to imagine its ability to work in our lives.
