Daily Bible Reading: Psalms 70 – 72

Verse of the Day: Psalm 72:19 – “And blessed be his glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen.”

As we mentioned earlier in our studies of these songs of Israel, there are five divisions in this book. Each division concludes with a benediction. Our verse today is the benediction of the second division in this book – the one that corresponds to Exodus. We have read about deliverance and redemption – so this is fitting praise to offer to God in conclusion.

It is noted verse 18 and 19 carry out an indication by this benediction that the Psalms preceding were used in the worship of God in His Temple.

Today, let us worship God in our bodies – the Temple of God today – and praise Him before all we come in contact with.

Prayer: Father, blessed be Your glorious name for ever; And let the whole earth be filled with Your glory. Amen, and Amen.”
