Songs of Praise: Psalm 89:19-52
Psalm 89:19-52
Open up the Word with the link above or in your Bible.
Psalms are not just prayers of inspired kings and priests. They are prophetic.
A psalm we cannot utter as a prayer, that makes us falter and horrifies us, is a hint to us that here Someone else is praying, not we; that the One who is here protesting his innocence, who is invoking God’s judgment, who has come to such infinite depths of suffering, is none other than Jesus Christ himself. He it is who is praying here, and not only here but in the whole Psalter.
–Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together
Do you see Him praying in our passage today? Are they words only He could pray?
