By Asaph – the Levite
Sin, Consequences & Cry for Mercy
The pagan nations are triumphant. God’s people are captives and the city and temple are in ruins, v1-4.
God is angry. The kingdom of Judah declined and their forefathers have fallen away from God, v5-8a. The sins accumulated to an extent that God could hold back His wrath no longer.
The psalmist takes the position of the intercessor and pleads for God’s compassion, “may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.” v8b.
Application:
God is love. He cares for His people and His chosen nation. But repeated rebellion and wilful sin will lead to consequences.
Are you holding on to some stubborn sins that seem too hard to let go? Plea for the mercy of God to forgive you & grant to you a new beginning.
