King David And Palm 23

“Everyone who want to be saved must follow me,” says David “the end is near.”

He never gave up hope and continued to find his way back home. He also shows loyalty to the god by not cursing them for all the harmful events that occur during his journey

In Psalm 23:4, he says, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." This verse shows that he does not fear because God is with him. It clearly shows that his faith is strong. Also, the reason that David became a king because God sincerely liked him. The similarity between Corrie Ten Boom and king David is they were ordinary but became extraordinary. (Bible verse)

He states that he is troubled by what is to come, but he will make sure to stay strong. This bears a striking to Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus is so scared at first, that he sweats blood, but he then remains strong and goes through his own

God can redeem people from their fallen state. The Lord is a deliverer, and restorer of life, spirit and joy (vs.11,12 & 14). The Psalmist now wants to operate on a level of bearing witness for the Lord

David knew that no amount of good works he had done, could rectify his guilty state before God. His position of prophet and king did not obligate God to him. David’s longing to be reconciled to God was granted by God’s compassionate acquittal of David despite his guilt. Moo explains that, “David’s words from the psalm confirm Paul’s basic point…a person’s relationship with God comes not by works but by God’s gracious act.” A further examination of David’s proclaimed blessing reveals the state of “being fortunate, happy because of circumstances, favored, and privileged.” William Sanday represents this state of blessedness well by stating, “…David in Psalm 32 describes how God pronounces happy (in the highest sense) those to whom He attributes righteousness without any reference to work.” Paul’s focus on the blessed state of the forgiven sinner in verse 6 is qualified by his citing of David’s proclamation of blessing in psalm 32:

This psalm is a difficult psalm to break down due to differences in structure but also in it’s nature. This psalm is about the creator of the

To begin with, I will point out that the psalm is told through first-person point of view. The speaker or persona is present throughout the entire psalm, using “I” and “my” to describe his thoughts, feelings, and memories. One instance is in the beginning stanza where he asks himself, “[when] shall I come and behold the face of God?” (Ps. 42.2). Already this tells the reader that this will be a very personal psalm, allowing insight into the speaker’s mind. The speaker is filled with anguish, but also strongly desires God’s presence in his life.

The main function of verse one of Psalm 23 is to refer the reader to David, followed by the position of the LORD in his life. This verse is used as the bases for the next five verses where each of them lead back to the idea made in verse one. The sentence structure with the word shepherd in this specific context demonstrates a predicate participle. This means “is my shepherd” may be interpreted as security and companion in the usage. Though God is rarely called a shepherd, the idea was familiar and continued as a phrase of common opinion throughout the history of

This has 6 verses, at first he questions God then he calls God out. But then he worshiped God, he thanks God. For the things he have done for him. David was feeling hopeless, so he called on God. Just like in Carrie Underwood- “ Jesus take the wheel”. The young adult called for God when she felt powerless.

V1-2: In these verse’s David repeats ‘My God’ twice when calling out to God, “My God, My God” this repetition shows that David was in agony shows the “depths of his distress”, he was crying out to God so desperately wanting him to here, as David believed that God had abandoned him, “why hast thou forsaken me” God did not answer David’s cry’s for him, even when David is calling out to him by day and by night. V3-5: David is saying to God, that he gave help to the fathers of Israel, saying that they trusted in God and he rescued them, “Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them”. That when they cried out for help God delivered them and he wasn’t disappointed or ashamed. But when David is crying out to God for help

In Psalms, we see a collection of lyrical poetry, songs and prayers. Many of these were written by King David himself. The book covers almost the entire gamut of human emotion, from sorrow to joy, from doubt to faith.

It was such an incredible experience that he felt that every one needed to know that it was by faith alone that they could be justified. As a devout Jew he had followed the Law his entire life and felt it important that people know that in spite of his doing all the works of the Torah he was not justified before his vision.

The Book of Psalms is the Book of Prayer. Whoever wants to learn to pray let him pray to David and whoever prays with the psalms, David shall be a teacher for him, how he should pray as a father that shall hold his son's hand to teach him how to write. In the Book of Psalms we know ourselves and the weaknesses and pitfalls that are in us and we find in this travel fall and the advancement of prayers of repentance and thanksgiving and praise. Psalms are filled with many prophecies concerning the incarnation, pain and resurrection of the Lord. It is the greatest witness to the life of the Lord Jesus, so Peter said that David is a prophet (Acts 30: 2).

Verse three outlines the start of the forming of David's band of miscreants; "Also joining him was every person who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. He became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him" (NKJV). David is now the leader of an unstructured group of men discontented with the current political situation. They had been wronged and mistreated, were under a curse of debt that they could not pay. They were not trained loyal soldiers, but like David, are so distressed that they have no option left except to run and hide from their problems (Swindoll, 1997, p.74; Epp, 1965, p.56). Psalm 57 indicates that not only were they hiding, but they were angry and wanting vengeance on those they felt had wronged them�. Keller (1985, pp. 120,121) suggests that it was in living with these oppressed outcasts that David developed his compassion for those living under oppression.
