Timeline. Map. Go to today’s Bible reading (use your browser arrow to return): Psalms 75, 77, 80; Isaiah 37:9-38; 2Kings 19:29-37; 2Chronicles 32:21-23; Psalm 76
Chronological note: In today’s Bible reading, Psalms were chosen that do not have a specific event attributed to them. The superscriptions claim Asaph wrote them. He and his descendants were the chief worship leaders of the Levites and composers of Psalms during the time of King David and afterward (1Chronicles 16:4-5; 25:1-2). Psalm 80 may have been written by Asaph’s descendants during the Assyrian invasions; only the tribes of Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh are mentioned (Psalm 80:2). There were remnants of these tribes left after Israel was conquered in 722 B.C. Because of the theme of these songs, they are placed here.
