Trust in the Lord our God and live in His Righteousness

Psalm 73
V.1 is the theme for this Psalm. "Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart."

I. The World really confuses us (vv.2-15)
- The wicked prospers and the righteous suffers.

II. The Truth Reveals (vv.16-19)
- The answer is found in the house of the Lord (v.17)
- How the wicked will end up (vv.17-19)
III. How the righteous will end up (vv.23-28)
- He holds our right hand (v.23).
- He guides us (v.24).
- He receives us in His glory (v.24b).
- He is our refuge and help (vv.25-26).

Application: Trust in the Lord, our God, and live in His righteousness.
