SNS 101: Of God and Blessing Others, Psalm 72

Can I just say that once again, the Psalms have turned what I have thought about asking for God’s blessing on its head? Here, the psalmist asks God to bless the king so that

others may also become blessed. Also, this gives a whole new perspective to something that two other psalms say.

For instance, in Psalm 1…. Well, tell you what, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s first hear the psalm; then, we can chat. 

So, for now, my name is Charles, and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This podcast is for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is a series in which we will listen to a psalm being read in a manner that honors its original use as part of a worship service. Here in episode #101, we are listening to Psalm 72. 

So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.
