Overwhelmed
#
Psalm 61:1-2
Introduction
Overwhelmed means to overspread or crush beneath something violent and
weighty, or to become faint, or feeble at the weight of something.
We sometimes use it in a positive way, overwhelmed with joy, but in the
Bible, we find it's context is always negative.
Psa. 55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath
overwhelmed me.
Psa. 77:3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my
spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

Contrast of Believer & Unbeliever
#
Psalm 62:1-12
Introduction
This Psalm gives us some great truths about man that the Psalmist points
out to us. Many of the Psalms relate specifically to an enemy, a
circumstance, this Psalm contains great truths about mankind in general.
We find mankind’s position in contrast to that of a christian, someone
who has firmly placed his faith in God alone for Salvation! That phrase
is abundantly clear in this Psalm.

Rejoicing in the Wilderness
#
Psalm 63:1-11
Introduction
The Title of the Psalm included most of the time in verse number 1,
reads, “A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” Psalm
3’s title reads, “A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.”
Only time mentioned in Psalms.
David is the author of this Psalm. There were a few times that David was
in the wilderness. While he was running from king Saul who was trying to
kill him, is probably the most notable, and longest time David was in
the wilderness. I do not believe that was the time that it was written,
because verse 11 reads, “But the king shall rejoice in God” I believe
that is written of himself, not of king Saul.

Hope for the Righteous
#
Psalm 64:1-10
Introduction
Many of the Psalms are based on the affliction of good people. This
Psalm is no different. There are many reasons, many times that righteous
people suffer through no fault of their own!

A Psalm of Praise
#
Psalm 65:1-13
Introduction
A Psalm is literally a song. We of course do not have the music score
written down for us, so we have no way of knowing how it sounded when
song. If you think about it, many of our hymns speak of hardship, and
how God has blessed. We are literally going through the song book of the
Jewish nation as complied and largely written by David.

Submitted to God
#
Psalm 66:1-7
Introduction
There are some pretty clear breaks in this Psalm as you read it and
study it.
Being submitted to God doesn’t come naturally, or without effort. We
find two completely different reasons for being submitted to God, based
on where they start from. You only fit into one of two categories, you
are a born-again child of God, or you are not. There is no middle
ground. You are saved, or you are not saved.

Joy in the LORD
#
Psalm 67:1-7
Introduction
The Psalm, is certainly a victorious Psalm, much like we would sing
Victory in Jesus, A Mighty Fortress, Faith is the Victory, He is
Able to Deliver Thee, or Stand Up- Stand UP for Jesus, it is a song
of deliverance, joy, gladness, and praise to God for the victory given.

Marching to Victory
#
Psalm 68:1-3
Introduction
We have a lengthy Psalm before us, in which we will not be able to touch
every verse of it, much less every phrase. It is a full Psalm, with many
messages that could be brought from it. We will limit ourselves to one
simple message from the Psalm as we trek on through the forest of the
Psalms.

Prophecies of the Messiah
#
Psalm 69
Introduction
Shoshannim means lilies, and it is in reference to the spring time and
the passover. It is a very prophetic Psalm. Spurgeon says of it
“In the forty-fifth they were golden lilies, dropping sweet smelling
myrrh, and blooming in the fair gardens which skirt the ivory palaces:
in this we have the lily among thorns, the lily of the valley, fair and
beautiful, blooming in the garden of Gethsemane.”

Faith for all Ages
#
Psalm 71:1-2
Introduction
We truly have a wonderful Psalm before us. This is a great Psalm,
because we have a message of a Seasoned Saint who has seized onto God as
his source of strength and salvation, and has not slipped. There is a
message for the young, a message for the middle aged, as well as a
message for the senior saint! The Secret to success is ultimately
unveiled in this Psalm, so lets stop and consider the wisdom of God’s
aged saint helping us tonight.
