Psalm 95: 1-7: Analysis

Thank you for your text and for directing me to Psalm 103, it is one of my favorites. As far as my health, I have some fairly good days where the pain is controlled with the medication and others that are not, well, not as good. I go for my next five-day treatment next Monday. I was told that patience is required in all of this as full recovery for patients with this condition is slow, but successful in the majority of cases. Carla is doing a little better, but the last bit of the cold is hanging on as colds usually take a week or two to pass. She has to fly out early tomorrow to the Dominican Republic for her work and will be back late the following day. Damaris now has a lady that lives her and is her full-time caregiver. She really likes

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

Initially, Psalm 1 first begins with blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers (Psalm 1, New International Version). Furthermore, after analyzing the passage I have determined the type of Hebrew parallelism this passage exhibits is synthetic or formal parallelism. Therefore, synthetic or formal parallelism is defined as nonparallel text, where the second line of the text contributes to the first line (Tullock & McEntire, 2012, p. 190). Consequently, the main theme of the passage is to identify how the believers of the Lord blessed, or how to achieve divinity while avoiding the doubters of God.

In the documents Lessons for Women, Psalms of the Sisters and History of Rome all explain the different gender systems and their roles. Lessons for women, was a about a lady named Ban Zhao who was a Chinese women that wrote lessons for women. In the document Psalms of the Sisters was written by women about religious experience of women. The document 5.3 History of Rome, states Roman women demanded repeal of a tax on luxury items for women long after the Punic Wars were over. In each document they tell a different role for women because women rights were not taken seriously in some civilizations.

The communication principle that is outlined in this paper is about communicating lies and what the outcome of lying is. In the book of Psalm, it explains very clear about the bibles stance on lying. Psalm 59:12-13:12 reads, “For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter, 13 consume them in your wrath; consume them till they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.”

Peace is coming to the earth. Nothing will stop God’s glory from arriving on earth. We are all loved by God and He wants all of us to live eternally with Him. Psalm 85 tells us of all the great things to come. Love, patience, and fear of the Lord will be rewarded don’t turn away because we will be saved.

However, this God is vastly different than the God described in both Creation number 2 (Genesis 2-3) and the Flood (Gen 6-9). While God is described as forgiving and merciful in Psalm 103, God appears unforgiving and wrathful in Genesis 3 and 6. In Psalm 103 it claims that God is “slow to anger” (8) and “does not deal with us according to our sins” (10). These phrases illustrate a fair, loving God. Dissimilarly, in Genesis 3, the story of Adam and Eve, Eve explains to God that the serpent “tricked” (13) her; however, God punishes her nonetheless.

During our reading this week it is found that parallelism helps to give a more detailed picture of the story that is being told. While different types of parallelisms can be analyzed in Psalm 1, however, only the primary ones are listed in this post that consist of synonymous, antithetical, and synthetic (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). The first parallelism that is found in this book is synonymous in verse five states “Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgement, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous (Psalm 1:5, The New King James Version). Synonymous parallelism will show the first portion of the sentence is defined precisely as the second section, although, it may sound a little different. Another parallelism that can

Pslam 19 is a hymn with a focus on God’s creation and His revelation to the world through scripture. Through this psalm we are able to see how God has chosen to reveal Himself to the world. He chose to reveal Himself through creation and through His Scriptures. This Psalm also defines characteristics of God through how He describes His Word and Creation. The psalm scientifically provides insight as it describes the heavens and the action of the sun. As insightful as the psalm is, it’s important to recognize the poetry that lies on the pages.

Through out this period maintaining a covenant remained the focal point of the Old Testament, and Psalms continues to emphasize this covenant and God’s mercy. Firstly, I agree with Basma’s assessment of a universal aspect to Psalms 100, because God is all knowing and omnipresent, so he knew/knows everything. Furthermore, as the creator, knowing all, therefore, would establish blessing for those faithful believers, and punishment for those continuous sinners. By, establishing both a strict and powerful punishment, and being merciful and blessing those true believers, many people learn from their mistakes. Trying to understand the hidden meaning to the bible. Now, if God is this powerful creator, why would he establish a covenant with a family,

When watching the presentation, I refer back to the Bible verse Psalm 19:1-2 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. God made the earth for mankind sometime it’s hard for us to understand the creation of God how much beauty he has created. He is terribly specific, nevertheless terribly temporary once creation is mentioned within the Bible. However, it might be troublesome to imagine that God weren't the last word power behind the formation of the universe, if for nothing else, the intelligence behind every moving half. With that being said the truth behind suppression is that mankind has worked the earth is moving God out

Last fall one of my classmates brought Psalm 91 to my attention. I had been going through a tough time for several years and another cutting event had just taken place. I felt as if I was at the end of my rope. She reached out to me and told me to hang onto this Psalm, that it can be my refuge as I walk through this difficult journey. I like what Kidner says about dangers, “Most of these dangers are of a kind which strike unseen, against which the strong are helpless as the weak” (Kidner, 1973, p. 364). This is how I felt when going through this latest turmoil. I could not physically see the danger, but the pain of the danger enveloped me like a thick and heavy fog. I felt completely helpless and weak, but Psalm 91 gave me an atmosphere

As the longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119 is a Psalm of delighting in the Word of God. Psalm 119 is comprised of 176 verses that give adoration to God and the Torah.

In the Old Testament, Heman the Ezrahite, the son of Joel and the grandson of Samuel the judge and prophet of Israel, wrote Psalm 88. This Psalm is a very unique one in that it is the only one that does not end with an assertion of comfort or joy. It is very sad and melancholy and you can tell that it was written by someone in a very depressive state:

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.
