Psalm 23 Analysis

Psalms 139 speaks to me as a song of praise. God speaks very clearly about how he knows us. He knows our every thought. He cares about our comings and goings. Every word that we speak God knows it before we even speak it. I love the song there will be pain in the night and joy comes in the morning. Says that he is always with us no matter where we are at. His sprit never leaves us. We could go to the depths of the earth, settle in on the far side of the sea, we can hide in the darkest places and he will find us because he cares for us. This psalm is very meaningful to me because it lets me know that my Lord will never leave me or forsake me. He created me I will praise him because “I am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful

Furthermore, in Psalm 23, this section of the bible is well-known to be describing the Lord as the shepherd of the people. The central idea that pertains to this portion of Psalm 23 is God's provision, protection, and preservation of humanity. "He maketh me to lie down in the green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still water. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadow death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." It emphasizes how

The second, is David would give god the wonderfulness for every one of the things that he fulfilled. At the point when David got to be lord of all isreal, he wrote in second Samuel 22 as a tune of commendation to God. In spite

Comparison of three sections of Psalm 119 will show how the Psalm repeats the same theme throughout the work. This shows that the repetition is helpful in remembering the reason for follow God’s laws. The first section is 119:1-8 and will show the message the psalmist trying to convey. The second section is 119:33-40 and this will show that God is our teacher and one way to learn is to follow God’s instructions. The third section is 119:65-72 this conveys that life is found in the openness of God’s instruction. All these sections together

In the bible, people read it often and most of them like to share scriptures that they think is very important to them because it gets stuck deep down in people’s minds. When it gets stuck, that is when people come out of their comfort zone to reach out to others and read the portions. Psalms 23 and The Sermon on the Mount are one of these scriptures that get stuck deep down in people’s minds. These two found in the Bible, are known for the Shepard of the people, relating to the Lord. Psalm 23 immensely relates to the guidance of the Sermon on the Mount, which is engaged in different stories in the Bible such as Mathew and Mark. In Psalm 23 ( Of David), is found in the old testament of the Bible. It is invoked to help turn around negative thinking

Psalm 27 displays perfect faith in God. It erases all doubt and fear and asks for God to always be present in the speaker’s life. It asks for protection and salvation. The Psalm acknowledges difficulty and enemies and their power over the speaker, but he remains sure that God’s power reigns over all- even the most fearsome of adversaries.

Psalms 93 - This psalm shows the honor of the kingdom of God. It relates to both the kingdom of his grace and providence. He has all power in heaven and on earth. With concerns to God’s kingdom, word like so are here spoken. Have other kings their royal robes? So, has he (1). Have they their thrones? So, has he (2). Have they their enemies whom they subdue and triumph over? So, has he (3-4). Is it their honor to be faithful and holy? So, it is his (5).

Dr Van Shore lecturer of Alpacrucis College, states: David the King and Poet who wrote Psalm 23, could not have savoured and tasted the love of God as he describes this, without solitude. David calls his listeners to be still and hear God despite the turmoil of the battles they were enduring at the time.

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.

One of the things that I love about the book of Psalms is the honest human emotion that comes from it. David did not hold back at all in his thoughts or feelings. In fact, there are several times when I cringe when I read a few chapters; not because I’m ashamed of reading it, but that I’ve had similar thoughts like him. I have thoughts of doubts, pain, and anger. I have thoughts and angry words about people or situations. I have my moments of heartbreak. I have moments when I hide in the bathroom and just cry. There have been times when I thought that David crossed the line in his words, and especially with this chapter.

Psalm 139 reminds us of Gods overarching control of all things. He's the creator of all things and He controls all things. He knew us before we were even formed and every day that we lived has been marked out in His book and He knows our beginning to our end. This passage reminds us that God cares for us deeply, enough to design us the way He desired and pattern our days before we were ever born or conceived. Often when life does not seem to be heading in the direction I think it should, I'm reminded that God is in control of all things. In a world of uncertainty, it is good to reminded that God knows and has planned out every day of my life. I see this more as I look back over the many years of my life. Days, week, and years that I thought

This leads to David crying out for God’s mercy as he repents because he came under the realization of how detrimental his actions were and the consequences. David points out his own sin in verse 2, “Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.” This is important because if David never pointed out that he did sin and that it was his own fault, this whole passage may have been for show. This revealing of sin continues to the end of verse 6. Then David asks for forgiveness knowing that God would. Verse 7 demonstrates this, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” David then turns his attention to the process of God restoring his heart in verse 10, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.” This verse is so important because of the application purposes of it. This points to God’s redemptive quality and how He is always willing to restore when we repent. We see that in verse 13 David takes his fault and begins to use it for the bettering of the kingdom. David had overcome the shame of the situation and learned that his sin could impact the lives of others for the good. It goes like this, “Then I will teach transgressors Your ways. And sinners shall be converted to You.” The heart change in this verse is proven by a latter verse in Romans 8:28, “And

This scripture was a Psalm of David, a song to God about how he believes that he will guide and protect him throughout his life. There are some that believe that this Psalm was written when David was a young boy, for it is a shepherd’s song, others believe that it was written when he was older and held the position of King. To David and the people following The LORD at that time, namely the ancient Israelites the passage would have meant for them to have faith in the lord, the shepherd’s of that time especially would have been able to connect with the Psalm as it is written by David, a former shepherd come king. For us as Christians today it can be used as a healing prayer, to restore confidence and strength in the lord, knowing that he is always beside us as our healer and our guide. To me personally I feel this text telling me that no matter what happens. What dark valleys, as it were, I find myself in. God will always be there and always be by my side, this both comforts me and gives me strength.

When we seek the Lord we should rejoice and be glad. David can relate for the long saving help as he himself is in agony waiting to hear and see the Lord during his troubled times. As David continues to praise the Lord he remembers that the Lord always is with the poor and needy and is asking God to do the same for him. David’s continues to acknowledge the Lord as our help and deliverer in times of disappear, when the enemy is drawing near and when we sin. David is asking God not to delay his

I feel that what the psalmist is trying to say here appears to be quite obvious in the first verse; that unless you put God first in everything you say
