Read Psalm 76
Asaph “is the name of three men in the Old Testament, of whom one is the reputed author of Psalms 50 and 73 through 83. He was one of David’s three chief musicians, the other two being Heman, and Ethan or Jeduthun, and we first hear of him when the ark was taken to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15:16-19).” *

What Asaph Knew
Asaph knew that the name of God was great in Israel.
He knew that Yahweh was resplendent and majestic.
He knew that words needed to be multiplied
to help worshippers stare and wonder
at the goodness of Yahweh.
Asaph knew that the warriors of Egypt were powerless
………as the towers of water came down upon them.
And the story needed to be retold to each generation
Asaph knew that it was wisdom to fear such a God as You
and to follow You in the paths of shalom.
Asaph knew that You would judge the wicked
and save the humble.
Asaph knew that even the wrath of men
would be to the praise of God.
So Asaph invites us to worship and service of You
because he knew You were worthy of all our praise.
So we sing his song in praise of Your name.
