The Glory Of God : A Discussion On Psalm 29

The voice of the Lord is awesome. I do feel a very strong feeling in my heart when I hear a pastor preach and the message directly speaks into my situation.

‘I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.—Psalm 193’ Olson

"Psalm 23" comes from the Christian Bible. It is one of the most famous of these Biblical psalms. The beginning of the poem reads, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" (line 1). In the poem, the first-person narrator asserts that as long as they believe in God, then they will never be in need. Further, the poem reads, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me" (line 4). This narrator believes completely that no matter what negative issues they may have to deal with in their life, they will be fine because of their faith. The Bible is the written history of the Christian religion and its purpose is both to inspire and instruct people of that faith. The Psalm's purpose is to underscore the potency of the power of belief in Christianity.

In Psalm 103, God is portrayed as forgiving, strict, paternal, and anthropomorphic. In verse three it states that God “forgives all your iniquity,” conveying that a person's sinful behavior can be forgiven by God. However, while God appears very forgiving and merciful, he is also very strict. This strictness is depicted when he explains that he will only care for those who “keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments” (18), for he creates guidelines and rules which his followers must obey. God is also portrayed as paternal, for humans are described as his “children” (Verse 13) illustrating God as a father figure to humankind.

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

I can completely relate to this Psalm because of the many

The majority of the population describes success by the materialistic accomplishments such as being wealthy or owning land, and others relates success to a career. Although these descriptions may hold some truth in the definition of success, they are not sufficient to embark the entire meaning of success. Success not only includes wealth and great careers, but it includes happiness. These three factors are important for success and lacking a single one nay alter the success of a person.

“The Twenty-Third Psalm” is a very ancient poem that was translated into English. The predominant metaphor is that of a shepherd and his sheep. The poem is meant to give comfort to people. It shows that God looks after people, like a shepherd looks after his sheep. It is often recited at funerals to give solace to grieving folk. I feel a lot of hope when I read this poem. I have a heavenly father who cares about me and this poem reminds me of that. When I face severe challenges and it seems no one cares about me. It is good to know that I am loved and that I am not alone.

This poses a challenge to the modern Christian?s understanding and way of worship and begs for a re-examination of whether or not the Psalms should play a more pivotal role in worship. Wenham purports that the current approach to reading Psalms is where one reads what he wishes and ignores what he chooses, then later forgets what he had read. This approach is not empowering and life sustaining. It falls short and limits the development of

The fiftieth psalm begins with the heading “A psalm of Asaph”. Whether it was officially written by him or simply dedicated to him , it is noteworthy to understand who Asaph was and the impact he had on the music and worship of Israel. Asaph was part of a music guild in the court of David along with Heman (1 Chronicles 6:39 ) and Ethan (1 Chronicles 15:19). These men were appointed to lead the musical celebration for the return of the Ark of the Covenant when King David danced passionately enough to embarrass his wife Michal (1 Chronicles 15:16ff). He also served under the leadership of King Solomon during an incredibly significant theophany of the glory of God (2 Chronicles 5:12-14). Perhaps this dramatic

The historical context delivers two distinctly different accounts of the purpose of the hymn. Both David and Solomon stand as the possible writers of Psalm 24 with liturgical intercession remaining the focus. The focus is on the creative nature of YHWH and the unlimited honor and reverence due unto him. The psalmist passionately

Not only did psalm 42 stand out immediately to me for its literary elements within the first verse, but for its poetic style and language as well. This psalm is a lyrical one with plenty of emotion and literary figures. The latter ranges from similes to parallelism and everything in-between, all accumulating to form the psalm’s meaning.

One thing without a doubt, the Psalms will enhance our otherworldly life and give us windows through which to take a look at the occasions of our lives. Through those windows, we will see the tones of another scene where our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and

The psalmist is aware of being part of the corpus piorum and this influences the way he prays not only for himself but for the whole community as one body. Here the concept of “fear of YHWH” (the beginning of wisdom) is prominent. The psalmist faith allows him to perceive with his senses the goodness of the YHWH. “Taste and see that the Lord is good” shows that those who belong to God and seek his good pleasure are able to perceive God’s presence in all things, while the wicked see evil everywhere.

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.
