The King James Version of Psalms 23

King James’ version is better than the Bay Psalms Book version because of parallelism. In the King James version, King James uses phrases that have repetitive sounds. He uses phrases such as “He maketh…he restoreth…he leadeth…” (Psa. 23: 2-3). He use these phrases to indicate how God is constantly protecting man and providing for them.
Another reason King James’ version is better is because of the imagery. In The King James version , I’m able to picture green pastures and still waters. King James uses these
The book of Psalms contains some of the most beloved pieces of scripture across centuries and cultures of this world. Psalms have been frequently cited is sermons, devotionals, movies, poetry, and songs. Most often, Psalms are attributed to King David of the 10th century BCE. But regardless of the authorship of the different psalms, each seem to carry a special place in describing human relationships to God, to country, to friends, to enemies and more.

There are 150 psalms in the Book of Psalms that were written over the span of 800 years. Most of the Psalms written were made to be sung. There are two main genres of Psalms, which are laments and hymns. David is know to have written 73 psalms, Asaph wrote 12, the sons of Korah wrote 11, Solomon wrote 2, Moses wrote 1 and 50 are anonymous . Although 50 were anonymous, David was certainly the author of the majority of the Psalms.

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.

Psalm 23 and The Sermon on The Mount are alike in the sense that they share similar themes. Psalm 23 is a well-known section of the Bible that professes the Lord to be the Sheppard of the people. Psalm 23 relates to in The Sermon on The Mount because they both emphasize the Lords moral teachings. Psalm 23 speaks about how a person may feel when having God as his Sheppard. The Sermon on The Mount explains various descriptions to explain points from a biblical standpoint.
“Be very sure of this – people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it too well; they understand that it condemns their own behavior; they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment. They try to believe it is false and useless, because they don’t like to believe it is true.” J.C. Ryle. Before I begin I would like to say that I use both the King James Version and English Standard Version. I have nothing against the KJV and I believe it is an inspired word of God. The problem is I don’t believe it is the only inspired word of God.
I am a strong Christian who believes in God as the creator and controller of the universe. Even though I have always have that strong belief in my God, some of the scriptures provided support my belief in God. One of the scriptures that strongly support that belief is in Psalms Chapter 1 verse 7 which talks about God proclaiming to be my Father. As my Father, I believe that God will always provide for me everything that I need.
Psalm Chapter Twenty-Three I chose this psalm to reflect on because it is very familiar, oft quoted, and many have preached inspirational messages from it. The psalmist, David, depicts a very personal relationship between him and his God when referring to God as his shepherd; Kidner (1973) says, “In the word shepherd, David uses the most comprehensive and intimate metaphor yet encountered in the Pslams, preferring usually the more distant ‘king’ or ‘deliverer’, or the impersonal ‘rock’, ‘shield’, etc.:” (p. 127). God is pictured here as the loving keeper, provider, and protector of his follower, even as he faces situations that could potentially result in his harm or death.
Yet, He promises us to be our Shepherd. A shepherd is the one who carries his sheep in his shoulders or in his bosom. He makes sure to feed each of his sheep. He preserves them from wild animals. Thus, being in the hands of a Shepherd, we lack nothing (Psalms 23:1).
As a tree planted on watercourses = waterways are a sign of the Holy Spirit (John 37: 7-39). The fruit tree is a joyous cause for every human being and animal, whose fruit is saturated and benefits from its shadow. We observe that Christ is the Tree of Life (Revelation 7: 2), which gives fruit in its time. Compare with the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 22: 5). Christ cursed the fruitless fig. Note
The authorship of Psalm 119 remains unknown. Most scholars believe the author to be King David because of its Davidic tone and expression. It is also assumed that this Psalm is written over a period of someone’s life, as it shows maturity as the Psalm progresses (Bible hub). Regardless of the identity of the Psalmist, Psalm 119 has very special and unique qualities. Psalm 119 is not only the longest chapter in the book of Psalms, but of the entire Bible. Some believe that since Psalm 119 is the longest chapter of the Bible, it shows the priority of God’s Word to God. (bible.org) Although Psalm 119 is quite a long chapter, it is written in a format that allows the reader to study and follow the structure of the psalm with ease. This specific Psalm is written in the form of an acrostic poem, meaning each section begins with a letter from the alphabet. In this case, each section, made up of eight verses, begin with each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Thus, the first eight couplets begin with aleph (A), the next eight begin with beth (B), then so forth in the same suit. (bible.org)
A Better Man: As written in the King James Bible, chapter 5 verse 8 in first Peter it talks about to be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Therefore if I resist the devil, meditate on your precept and consider your ways. I will live a prosperous life and have good success. The Bible also says in the book of Joshua. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. The Word goes on to say….. The Bible tells us in the book of Joshua chapter 1:8. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written there-in: Meditation according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary means the act or process of spending time in quiet thought. My experience shall be to trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ. Study the word of God and to meditate unto Jesus day and/or night. I recently dedicated my life to Jesus. The first step was acknowledging that Jesus died on the Cross for me. To pay the price for my sins, so I can be saved by the grace of God. Resist the devils impure thoughts, lustful acts, and all things not by the grace of God. Receive instruction from God’s mouth and establish his words in my heart.
