In his sermon on Psalms 127–130, Stephen Davey explains that a home, a family, and even a nation are built in vain unless the Lord is the foundation and focus. Psalm 127 teaches that children are a gift from God and that parents should trust Him even in troubling times, just as God raised up Moses, Elijah, and ultimately Christ in dark eras. Psalm 128 promises happiness—not from circumstances but from living in “trembling awe” of God, finding satisfaction in Him rather than in success. Psalm 129 recalls Israel’s long history of affliction but celebrates the God who “cuts the cords of the wicked,” delivering His people with righteous compassion. Psalm 130 then leads believers to confess their countless sins and rejoice that with the Lord there is forgiveness, steadfast love, and “plentiful redemption.”
