David directed Psalm 58 against those who were rulers or judges in some sense. Some think they were leaders aligned with Saul who passed judgment on the fugitive David, condemning him to a death sentence as a traitor. David challenged these rulers and the uprightness of their decisions.
He prayed that God would take vengeance on these dangerous judges.
Psalm 57 consists of prayer and praise from David. In this period of David's life he was fleeing from Saul again and was feeling alone, discouraged, and in continued prayer.
Though alone in the cave and troubles behind and ahead, he could allow his heart to praise God and be steadfast in Him.
Today we start with a question regarding the disciples of Jesus - when were they born again, or "saved"? Then, some great questions:
Does Romans 3:31 mean that we don’t have to obey God’s law? 17:00
How does the kingdom get restored to Israel in Acts 1:6? 19:46
Was Obadiah 1:18 fulfilled, or is it yet to happen? 25:41
Were there others like Melchizedek in the Bible? 28:56
Will Jesus forgive our sins after we are born again? 32:24
In Ezekiel 37:12, did life come only into Israelites? Is the New Covenant only for Israel? 34:57
How can I practice Christian disciplines without becoming legalistic? 41:20
Can we pray directly to the Holy Spirit? 37:08
If one has trust issues, what Bible passages might help them? 48:01
Is Melchizedek a name or a title? 51:11
Did everyone descend from Abraham? 52:18
Is it possible to be “righteously judgmental”? 53:29
Do the rules of the Old Testament apply to believers today, such as the Sabbath? 54:50

Psalm 56 takes place when the Philistines captured David in Gath. It deals with the period between the visit to the tabernacle at Nob and David’s arrival at Adullam. David was alone, desperate, afraid – and not thinking too clearly.
Psalm 136 is a special psalm, with each one of its 26 verses repeating the sentence, His mercy endures forever. Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, the phrase has somewhat of a liturgical sense to it, as if the assembled people of Israel said or sung this in response to the direction of the Levites leading singing and worship. We picture a great multitude of the people of God gathered in the temple courts. A priest or Levite would call out a reason to give God thanks, and His people would respond with, “For His mercy endures forever.”
Consider how great the mercy of God is, as it is expressed in the person and work of Jesus Christ throughout this wonderful psalm!
Psalm 100 is a psalm of thanksgiving, and it speaks of an invitation to the whole earth to know and to worship God.
Pastor David Guzik gives the what and why of giving praise and the what and why of giving thanks.
