Shepherd
Read Psalm 78.65-72
“.. Then the Lord woke as from sleep, as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine. He beat back His enemies; He put them to everlasting shame” (Ps.78.65)
The psalm ends on a positive note. The Lord’s purpose is not thwarted by His people’s perversity! He is sovereign, active, mighty, gracious, and His purpose has ‘for ever’ in view: and He gives His people what they need – a king who will shepherd them well.
Given what the psalmist said in vv.1-8, why do you think he concluded the psalm with this reference to David?

Prayer: O Lord, this is the day of resurrection again! Rise up, our Saviour and King, and shepherd Your flock in the face of all the enemies we face.
