Psalms 66 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
This psalm is a continuation of the song of praise of Psalm 65. Whereas the previous psalm ends with the rejoicing of creation (Psalm 65:13), in Psalm 66 we find the exhortation to all mankind to worship God and to sing praises to His Name (66:4). The Jewish remnant will teach the law and the Word of the LORD to all people (Isaiah 2:3). The language used in this Psalm is that of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt (66:6). The occasion for exalting God here is the future redemption of the remnant from the great tribulation { Revelation 15:3).

This psalm is about God as the Deliverer of His people. He has done everything, He is seen in everything. It begins with the deliverance of His people from Egypt (v. 6~7). In it, He shows His power. It is the power of deliverance from enemies, but also the power that gives life out of death (66:9; Romans 11:15). The redemption of the remnant in the end time, which is also entirely His work (66:10~12). The result is blessing for the people in the realm of peace given to them by Him (66:20).
