Summary Of The 124th Psalm

For forty years God had miraculously provided food and water for their forefathers. The current years of blessings and protection caused the inhabitants of the lands to fear God as the nation settled it. They knew something special happened when Israel’s God showed up.

In Psalms 34:17-20 it says “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.” I believe this is a great symbolic allegory of the darkness that slavery birthed into our world. Each of these were bonded together in hopeless but in each case and region had different difficulties that had to face. Each using their life story to be a beacon of hope to others that freedom was within reach

On the other side of God responding to the Psalmists requests he would respond in kind. He too would become a blessing to God, and work to bless others. He would become a teacher, someone who would bear witness to God’s work. Like him, there would be people who have been removed from God’s presence. Sinners who, like him, would want to return and experience salvation (v.13). This is a rather shocking moment in the Psalm. Where by we find the Psalmist making a deal with God (vs.14). He is bargaining, service for service, a deal built on the idea of God benefiting him, and in turn he would benefit God. However this deal is good, it’s pure in its intention in that this Psalmist wants to return God’s favor by becoming a blessing for God. He wants God to change him so he can serve others. God’s deliverance, his steadfast love and mercy, the work he is capable of doing in a sinner is insurmountable. So long as a person fulfills their part of what God requires of them God’s power is unstoppable. This is because only the receiver is capable of disrupting God’s work.

Psalm 105:4 NASB “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” When I began college, I peered over all my classes. I knew then, one day I would be taking a class that would involve groups and the thought of it scared me to death until I talked to a friend who had already been through groups in her classwork. It eased my fears somewhat but not totally.

Psalm one begins with the first word blessed. It is a word that describes the state of a righteous man. The word is first used as a negative statement; “Blessed is the man who walks not…” In it’s original Hebrew the word is ʾashrê, and functions as an adjective and affirms the blessed state of all those who submit themselves to God in obedient devotion to him. It occurs around forty times in the Old Testament . The word can also function as ‘happy’ or ‘The happiness of…!’ It is a word also found in 1Kings 10:8 as the Queen of Sheba visits Solomon, "Happy are your men! Happy are your servants, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!" The Psalmist reveals that a man is blessed when he takes certain actions that are a process in his endeavor to make progress in the study of God’s law.

Socially Uncomfortable: King openly discusses the socially uncomfortable topic of segregation and racism in which he goes on to mention the myriad of injustices perpetrated by the hands of the white population towards the African Americans in the city; bombings of African American churches and homes, poor tolerance and treatment by judges in court. Racial slurs all around the city further emulating the embarrassment and inferiority of African Americans to the white population. In these points, where King highlights the ungrudgingly, detestable and loathsome stance of the white population among other human beings because of their skin color, inevitably emanates discomfort and a lack of brotherhood among society and the human race.

Going through valleys and dark times is part of life--even as a Christian--and we see that loud and clear in Psalm 142. David is in a major valley and he is crying out to God. David writes, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living" David finds himself trapped in a cave While that may not be the case in a physical sense for us, it could be true in an emotional sense- A feeling that the world is closing in on you. This could be as a result of illness, loss of work, strained relationships loss of loved ones etc etc I got back just yesterday after a month’s vacation in kerala..

Genre: The genre of Psalm 139 is Hebrew poetry, simply because the psalms were written in Hebrew and are a collection of poems and laments. The first principle of interoperation is that the psalms blend experience, emotion, and theology. This should be taken into account while reading the poem in order that the reader does not simply skip over the theology by only focusing on experience and emotion. The second interoperation principle is that each psalm should be read as a whole. Verses of psalms should not be taken out of context, in doing this the reader may distort the meaning of the psalm. Another interpretation principle to take into consideration is the different genres of psalms such as: laments, thanksgiving, hymns of praise, wisdom, and songs of trust. With that being said, Psalm 139 not only falls under the Hebrew poetry genre, but is also classified as a psalm of trust. Lastly, the fourth interpretation principle is that parallelisms are used. In other words, ideas correlate in many different ways such as: synonymously, antithesis, intensifying, specifying, and synthetically.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. This means that on Friday, June 3rd Aunt Rosemary Reagor brought joy in a special way to the heart of God. Aunt Rosemary knew it was her time and was ready to go and be with Lord Almighty God. She had fought a good fight and finished her course. She knew how precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints is. She was ready to go home and be with the Lord. She could see the pearly gates, the streets paved with Gold, the mansions prepared for her and most of all the Lord Jesus Christ. How precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. While

Psalm 35 was written by David with intense emotion and urgency. While the problem that provokes such a prayer is not fully identified, there is “sufficient ambiguity to classify it as an individual lament.” Since the piety of David is notable, and his nature is given to upholding the things of God, we must start our analysis of imprecatory Psalms with the understanding that his emotional prayers calling for the vengeance of God should not be classified as sinful, especially since they come only after his enemies repeated attacks. Thus, it is imperative that we examine the particulars of each imprecatory Psalm to gain a full understanding of each circumstance and

Endotherm are animals that regulate internal temperature at a range dispie ambient temperature changes. This research will aid to identify how different ambient temperature will affect the mice’s metabolic rate. Previous research suggest that thermo neutral zone is the range which endotherm conduct metabolic with least stress. However to understand the exact relationship between the change in ambient temperature on endothermic metabolic rate, metabolic system measurement would be carried out to measure the ambient temperature and oxygen percentage. The hypothesis was that as the mices experiences ambient temperature outside of their thermal neutral zone, then they will intake more oxygen because more metabolic activities need to take place

Since Psalm 119 is a Psalm of reverence go God and His Word, Scripture is referenced repeatedly. The Psalm is unique and outstanding for its recurring reference to God’s written revelation. Scripture is

The attendance of the Lord as shepherd is present throughout the Holy Bible. Whether being accountable of the primary duty of providing animals with sufficient food and water, protecting the sheep, or just plain caring for the sheep like David, the responsibility of the shepherd is making sure every facet of a sheep’s life is taken care of. The rationale of this paper is to give an exposition of Psalm 23, while reflecting on Psalms as a whole, in order to give adequate evidence for arriving at a conclusion that proves the LORD is the only necessity in an individual’s life in regards to the role of a servant.

The author of Psalm 78 writes with intentions of giving hope to people after the Northern disaster in 721 BCE. He is attempting to get the people to not lose their faith in God. He does this by reminding his readers of three key things, the first being how much both they and their ancestors disobeyed God. This is an attempt by the author to show the people it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. You cannot continue to disobey God and expect him to keep providing for you. The second reminder is about Gods power. Throughout this Psalm the reader is reminded of Gods divine power, and the past miracles that have been bestowed on the Israelites. The third and final reminder comes at the end of the Psalm, where the people are reminded that God handpicked the tribe of Judah, and handpicked David. This reminds the people to never forget they are the chosen people and God handpicked them. All three of these themes combine to produce the authors message-- As long as we trust in God we will be ok, we are the chosen people, and we have the greatest and most powerful God there could be.
