Psalm 63 is about longing. Deep longing. This is a psalm of David, and like many of David’s psalms, it comes from a dark time in his life where he is expressing this longing to be satisfied.

All Things New (Psalm 98)
September 3, 2023 • Brad Jones • Psalm 98
In Psalm 98, we see a song of joy. Over and over in scripture, especially in the Hebrew songbook called the psalms, God’s people would rehearse the goodness of God by remembering what they had been through and what God brought them out of. But this Psalm has a forward pitch. It doesn’t spend much time reflecting backward, but it is calling us to see something ahead of us, where God has promised to make all things new. When we have a vision of what God will do, it gives us a confidence to live a life of joy in the here and now.
