The Righteous One Follows God, Not The Unrighteous ( Vv )

Webster defines joy as “a very glad feeling.” But The Holman Bible Dictionary defines joy as, “the happy state that results from knowing

The term “Righteous Gentile” or “Righteous among the Nations” is used to name those non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. The title is used informally as referring to anyone considered to be a savior of Jews, but it has an official role in the Israeli program of Holocaust remembrance, administered by Yad Vashem. The criteria established by Yad Vashem include the following: — “The rescuer ensured the survival of a Jew or Jews by extending aid to them when they were in danger of being killed or sent to a concentration camp; — The rescuer knew that he was risking his own life, freedom, and safety by acting to save the Jewish life; — The rescuer did not receive and did not expect any

My translation of Psalm 126:1-3 goes like this; “It was like a daydream, too good to be true, when God delivered us from our shame and captivity. We laughed again, we sang joyful songs again, and we couldn’t believe our good fortune. We were the talk of the town—‘God was wonderful to them!’ they said. Yes, God was most definitely wonderful to us; we are beyond

This paper provides a summary and an assessment of the approach for determining the relationship of a psalm to Jesus the Messiah proposed by Richard P. Belcher Jr. in his book The Messiah and the Psalms: Preaching Christ from all the Psalms . This paper also provides an analysis of Psalm 45 and whether Psalm 45 should be used to teach on the church as the bride of Christ. Lastly, this paper provides an analysis of Psalm 22 and whether Psalm 22 speaks of the Messiah.

‘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

On the other side of God responding to the Psalmists requests he would respond in kind. He too would become a blessing to God, and work to bless others. He would become a teacher, someone who would bear witness to God’s work. Like him, there would be people who have been removed from God’s presence. Sinners who, like him, would want to return and experience salvation (v.13). This is a rather shocking moment in the Psalm. Where by we find the Psalmist making a deal with God (vs.14). He is bargaining, service for service, a deal built on the idea of God benefiting him, and in turn he would benefit God. However this deal is good, it’s pure in its intention in that this Psalmist wants to return God’s favor by becoming a blessing for God. He wants God to change him so he can serve others. God’s deliverance, his steadfast love and mercy, the work he is capable of doing in a sinner is insurmountable. So long as a person fulfills their part of what God requires of them God’s power is unstoppable. This is because only the receiver is capable of disrupting God’s work.

The essay I read, “The Science of Righteousness” is written by Michael Shermer. The essay vocalizes the work of psychologist Johnathan Haidt’s book The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion. Haidt argues that both liberals and conservatives are wrong. He states that a great majority of people fall on the left-right spectrum. In other words, if one reads a article about gun violence and that person leans more to the left side, the conservative side. Therefore, since you lean that way you inevitably lean the same direction on everything. The problem with politics is that it does not let us make up our own mind.

Grammatical/Literacy: Why does David specify that God will hold him with his right hand? What is the “depths” and does this refer to hell?

Psalm 63 - A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. David’s word to desire towards God (1-2). His esteem of God (3-4). His satisfaction in God (5). His secret communion with God (6). His joyful dependence upon God (7-8). His great joy in God over his enemies to assure his safety (9-11).

To be worthy of Salvational Grace, is to give unto the Lord the Glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of Holiness. {Psalm, 29:-2}

Mays Interpretations of Psalm types: Hymns: Many of the psalms are simple hymns or songs of praise. For example, “Great is the Lord and Greatly to be praised! 145:3 Psalm. 8 is a hymn that begins, “Lord, our Lord, / how majestic is your name in all the earth!” (verse 1)”. (Mays, 1994. 26).

The psalm begins with a cry that was uttered by Jesus on the cross (Mt

Psalm one begins with the first word blessed. It is a word that describes the state of a righteous man. The word is first used as a negative statement; “Blessed is the man who walks not…” In it’s original Hebrew the word is ʾashrê, and functions as an adjective and affirms the blessed state of all those who submit themselves to God in obedient devotion to him. It occurs around forty times in the Old Testament . The word can also function as ‘happy’ or ‘The happiness of…!’ It is a word also found in 1Kings 10:8 as the Queen of Sheba visits Solomon, "Happy are your men! Happy are your servants, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!" The Psalmist reveals that a man is blessed when he takes certain actions that are a process in his endeavor to make progress in the study of God’s law.

The last segment of the Psalm is Moses’ appeal to God for him to return his presence to his people: “Return, O LORD, how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.” Not only should God return, but Moses asks for complete restoration and for God to bless the work of man: “Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Theology has a direct association with faith aligned and relative to God. An adversary to faith is fear and doubt. The two antagonists discredit ones’ acceptance that God is faithful and can do all things but fail. Learning the process to achieve the best results possible is essential because it is a personal asset. One must be attentive to explanation, conscious to personal experiences, and applied to the educational material to increase strength in the development of achievement.
