Psalm 66 - 69

David instructs his readers to "bless our God, you peoples!  And make the voice of His praise to be heard." (66:8)  He lists the many mighty actions that God has undertaken to prove His power and position.  He allows life, discipline, preservation, and safety to be enjoyed.  In His mercy He judges the nations correctly.  In His power, He drives His enemies far away and brings their plans to failure.  He stoops to care for the orphaned and abandoned, yet shakes the earth with His footsteps toward the wicked.  He is the source of help in times of trouble, delivering those who call to Him from the depths of their despair.  His loving, mighty, merciful, gracious, just actions are cause for worship and celebration.
