Songs of Longing (Psalms 73–89)

DescriptionBook Three of the Psalms expresses lament for the setbacks and sufferings of God’s people. Both personal distress and natural disaster seem to signal an end to the hope of Books One and Two. But, through it all, the psalmists hold on to the hope of a true and good God. In Songs of Longing, Matthew Olliffe covers in 7 studies all 17 psalms collected as Book Three (Psalms 73–89), a book where we see the psalmists weeping over the exile of Israel and yearning for God to rescue his people.This is volume 3 of a five-part series on the Psalms. Unlike most other studies on the Psalms, this series reads each psalm not as an isolated unit but in the context of the whole book. As we see the full sweep of the Psalms, we will see that even in times of extreme hardship, God’s people can entrust their future to their Messiah.Studies Disappointment and disaster [Psalms 73–74] God's still king [Psalms 75–77] From Exodus to Zion [Psalm 78] Praise amidst destruction [Psalms 79–82] Longing for
