In his sermon on Psalms 74–76, Stephen Davey explains how these three psalms offer hope to God’s people when they face discipline, injustice, or overwhelming danger. Psalm 74, written after Israel’s temple was destroyed, reflects a repentant nation asking God how long His discipline will last while acknowledging that their rebellion brought this suffering. Davey shows how the psalmist’s grief turns toward a new priority—restoring God’s reputation and trusting that He remains King even in judgment. Psalm 75 then announces God’s warning that a fixed day of justice is coming, when the wicked will drink the “cup” of His wrath—a stark contrast to believers, who are forgiven because Christ drank that cup on their behalf. Finally, Psalm 76 celebrates God’s dramatic rescue of Jerusalem from the Assyrian army, reminding worshipers that no human power can stand against His sovereign rule. Davey concludes that these psalms teach believers to repent humbly, wait patiently, trust confidently, and rest in the assurance that God—not the scoffer, not the enemy—always has the final word.
