Psalm 75:1-5 Do Not Destroy
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 75:1-5 PSALM 75 The God of History This psalm is the fourth by Asaph and the third in this group (Psalms 73-83). Like the rest of Asaph’s psalms, this psalm draws from many of the same themes as the book of Job, and in my opinion this makes Asaph the […]
