Introduction Psalm 16 is a thanksgiving psalm to YHWH. In this psalm the psalmist professes a need to be preserved by YHWH from the sorrows of his society by being in his presence. As the text progresses, the psalmist give thanks to YHWH for the counsel he has given him for the purpose on how to navigate his society and abide in the LORD’s presence. In being obedient to YHWH’s word, the psalmist reflects and speaks about the truth of what the presence of the LORD will do and for him he recognized

There are 66 books in the Bible, and one of the most famous written books is Psalms. Psalm 23 is a song that was written by King David who used to be a shepherd. In Psalm 23, David portrays God as a shepherd looking after His flock and portrays himself as a sheep needing God’s protection. Reading Psalm 23 made me develop deep thoughts and questions about this song. One verse in Psalm 23 claims that God prepared a “table” before me in the presence of my enemies. I think the table symbolizes a feast

In chapter 3, John Thompson discussed Psalms and the curses. The book of Psalms is unique; it demonstrates life, hope, and truth. This book also shows painful predicament of the psalmist and anger. Thompson gave us five examples from Psalms that includes the soaring and graceful verses. I believed that these lines that he gave as the examples contradicted with books in the New Testament. The first verse was Psalm 28:4-5, said “Repay them according to their work, and according to the evil of their

Observing the universe and its intricate workings are testimonies of God’s existence to both the believer and the unbeliever. Verse four poses the question, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him” (Psalm 8:4)? We seem very insignificant when compared to the vastness of God’s infinite universe. Bullock (2001) says it this way, “The beauty of God’s

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). Psalm 94 - Two things this psalm talks about

Psalms is the book most Christians turn to in times of trouble. Psalms is full of poetry expressing a multitude of characters responding to God with song. A person is having a tough day like David and in need of encouragement or a person full of such praise and joy they are unable to put into words, there is a psalm to fit every occasion. The book of Psalms was written between the time of Moses in 1440 B.C. and the Babylonian captivity in 586 B.C. to the people of Israel. Psalms parallels many historic

I would have to say that there are several divisions of Psalms that I like to read and quote. To me, the Book of Psalms is an uplifting book for me. A few that I enjoy are Psalms 23:1-6; 24:1-10; 27:1-3; 100:1-5 (Bible, KJV). My favorite is Psalms Division 46:1-11. This to me, this lets me know that God is fighting on my behalf. He's going to intercede between me and the problem if I seek Him.        No matter what the adversity may be, God wants you to know that He is sufficient, that He is enough

In my observation the psalm begings and ends with the outburst of congregational praise of God's majestic name. Within those verses comes the praise of God's particular works (overturning foes in B; blessing human's in B), and at the center , the wondering awe of the poet (C). However, instead of an isolating “me,” vewing a distant universe is existential anxiety, “I' (C) stands surrounded by the gracious and protecting works of God (B/B) and the congregstion gathered to sing God's praise (A/A)

Although by observing the Psalms it can be seen that they are used for teaching and instruction, they also seem like windows into how Christians truthfully relate with God in every conceivable situation. Indeed, the main point of the Psalms seems to be communication with God. In this respect, I am grateful for the commentary of Eugene Peterson. “Our habit is to talk about God, not to him. We love discussing God. The Psalms resist these discussions. They are not provided to teach us about God but
