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 23rd Psalm is arguably the most infamous and popular psalms among people in the western world. With 1/3 of the worlds population identifying with an Abrahamic faith (Christian, Jews or Muslin), the psalms play a vital role in the emotions towards God and about God to the believer. This psalm is neither intermingled with prayers, nor does it complain of miseries for the purpose of obtaining relief; but it contains simply a thanksgiving, from which it appears that it was composed when David had obtained peaceable possession of the kingdom, and lived in prosperity, and in the enjoyment of all he could desire. That he might not, therefore, in the time of his great prosperity, be like worldly men, who, when they seem to themselves to be fortunate, God in forgetfulness, and luxuriously plunge themselves into their pleasures, he delights himself in God, the author of all the blessings which he enjoyed. And he not only acknowledges that the state of tranquility in which he now lives, and his exemption from all inconveniences and troubles, is owing to the goodness of God; but he also trusts that through his providence he will continue happy even to the close of his life, and for this end that he may employ himself in his pure worship. It’s a Psalm of journey and of nourishment both along the way and at the end.

The first theme that can be seen in Psalm 78 is the continued disobedience of the Israelite ancestors. He reminds the people to not be like their stubborn ancestors who had little faith in God.

The Bible is the Holly Book, composed by many text from different authors. The number of texts in the bible depends to the version. The Bible has two main parts, the ancient and the new testament. The Psalms, which are the object of our research paper, belong to the ancient testament.

For our assignment, we will explore the historical context that lead to the writing of psalm, the information about of the author, themes treated by the psalms and the significance of those psalms in the world’s literature.

Children are a beautiful thing, they are a marvelous gift of God to us. A beautiful sign of His

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

I sing of mercy and justice: to you, LORD, I sing praise. I study the way of integrity; when will you come to me? I act with integrity of heart within my royal court. I do not allow into my presence anyone who speaks perversely. Whoever acts shamefully I hate; no such person can be my friend. I shun the devious of heart; the wicked I do not tolerate. Whoever slanders another in secret I reduce to silence. Haughty eyes and arrogant hearts I cannot endure. I look to the faithful of the land; they alone can be my companions. Those who follow the way of integrity, they alone can enter my service. No one who practices deceit can hold a Post in my court. No one who speaks falsely can be among my advisors. Each morning I clear the wicked from the land, and rid the LORD’s city of all evildoers (The New American Bible, Psalm 101.1-8). An important allusion in O Pioneers is the one made to the 101st Psalm. The 101st Psalm is alluded to when Ivar repeats the verse in part five, chapter one. In the verse, David gives his guidelines for living life. This scripture was of the utmost importance in olden times, as many people memorized it and implemented David’s guidelines in their own lives. This scripture expanded on the novel’s theme of Christianity and drew my interest because I have similar views as some of the characters.

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.

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.

Lord, help me to understand what it is you are doing? Why should I rely on you? For I call to you when violence strikes, yet you do not help me. For all, I see surrounding me is terror and conflict, yet you do not come. As for you bring prosperity to those who have wronged you. O Lord, help me to understand why you are cherishing that of the people who have deceived you. All this disaster around me, the arguments, the disobedience, and yet you will not answer my call, what is such an injustice about my actions that you do not receive my word.

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)

5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

Some key things to look at as we bring this reflection piece to a near close. While I have been living here, at homeboy Angel's Crib; I have worked and lost my Job and collected unemployment. In addition, I started my Journey to go back to school. I was 40 years old when I started at City College of San Francisco. Furthermore, in June of 2013, I was diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder, of which I still suffer from as we speak. Yet through all these battles and hardships, I am still in this bitch, you know what I am saying? So, I have seen a litany of therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, and I am still not healed from this illness that plagues me. I have prayed, and will never stop praying, until God one day heals me! I truly believe that this is all part of the enemy's (Satan) plan to keep me down and make want to blame God for this shit. But I am like "fuck you Satan, get the fuck out my life." Now, of course, this all faith-related material, cuz I have no scientific proof, that the enemy is creating all this shit in my life, but I know that God's love is with me and he will continue to be with me throughout this battle. Surely, God's love defends me.
