THE PURE IN HEART
Psalm 73

So we have been studying Nissans for about a month. And if you'll open your
Bible to Psalm number 73, we'll look at this one today.

Asaph. Remember that he was the Minister of Music there with David's people
when they would meet in the Tabernacle. Asaph was selected by David to be the
one who was in charge of the music when the Ark was brought back into Jerusalem.
All the choreography, all the presentation, all the instruments, all the singing
- this man, Asaph, was there.
You read carefully the Book of Psalms you'll discover that he is the author of
twelve of these Psalms. Psalm 50 as well as Psalm 73 through Psalm 83 all have
as a superscription the name of Asaph. So we know that he was either the one
who penned these Psalms or cert ...
