Psalm 85

Lamentation (community) / (Korah)

            Do Not Be Angry With Me

            6 Will You not Yourself revive us again,

            That Your people may rejoice in You?

            7 Show us Your lovingkindness, O LORD,

            And grant us Your salvation.

·         God only and God alone can save; and the sooner we learn that truth, the better for us.

·         If we had a due sense of the evil of sin, and of the obstinacy with which it holds its power over us, we should not so soon grow weary under divine rebukes, and faint under divine corrections.

·         Nothing more effectually destroys all ‘comfort of the Scriptures,’ than unbelief respecting their inspiration.

·         No conversion, no richness of religious experience, no height of discoveries in the things of God can ever render it safe for us to parley with sin, to dally with temptation, to lead a careless life, or to cease our vigilance.
