Excerpt from Loyalty, a Voice From the Sanctuary, Concerning the Civil WarThe Psalms found in this portion of the Psalter, begin ning with Psalm 73, do not belong to the prosperous days of David. They are hymns of days of trouble and apos tasy. Schism in the Church and rebellion in the State had rent asunder the nation which was also God's one Church. Their rulers had become corrupt and base. Their religious teachers ¿attered them with smooth sayings, while misleading them with lies. Enemies abounded and grew powerful, and the darkness of captivity and national ruin already cast its twilight shade on all things, sad presage of a dismal night.Hence in these Psalms (7 3 - 89 inclusive) - Psalms from which the Church at this season of the year, takes a num ber of the Introits, i. Prefaces to the Communion Office, the warnings are often of national chastisement for national sins, the lamentations are concerning Church apostasy the comfortable songs are of trust in God as the King, and of rest in His overruling power and continual governance.We shall find then in this part of the Psalter, many words of instruction, warning, or comfort for ourselves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
