Psalms 111 Analysis

Decent Essays
Psalms 111 is a psalm of praise. We are to praise him all day long as well as at home in our secret place. We are not to just praise him in the sanctuary in front of others for all to see, God asks our praise to be the same whether we are in private or in public. Psalms 111 is a praise that is not bashful in exultation. Verse 1-5 speaks of the word Hallelujah; Hallelujah tells us whatever we call others to do, we must be willing to do ourselves if we are asking them to praise God in our own home God is asking us to praise him with our whole hearts. Focusing on the Word of God and taking pleasure in the word, is pleasing to the Lord God. The key to serving correctly is to fear him. Psalms 25:14 “The Lord confides in those who fear him, …show more content…
One thing that comes to mind is how God promised Israel the land of Canaan, but because of their lack of faith it took them 40 years in the desert to accomplish what God could have done in days. Remembering the past helps us in the future. God made a covenant with us when he chose to die on the cross for our sins, what God has done the devil or man cannot undo. His commandments hold true and his word. The Lord God is righteous, fearing the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Those that fear the Lord obey his commandants and allow the Lord to rule in their hearts. We are to not only talk to about what is right, but it is important to put it into practice as well. (Proverbs 3:4 “than you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.´ (LASB) .As your words and actions match it will build integrity which shows your Godly character.
In the end fearing the Lord God and praising his holy name, is honoring to God and a form of worship, keeping his commandments is the beginning of wisdom; John 7:17 puts it this way. “Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.”(LASB). If you praise his holy name, keep is commandments, seek wisdom you will find scriptures come alive in

    The Psalms that I choice to look at for the poetic purposes of this discussion board was Psalms 24. Here in this chapter, we see phrases of true domain from the right about what exactly is the Lords and how what belongs to the Lord also belongs to his followers. Throughout these ten scriptures, we see where the writer establishes that the earth is the Lord no matter what anyone may think and everything in it. The writer also questions the reader as a way of setting them up to learn to true full nature of the Lord. This style of writing, creates a dramatic monologue and creates an anticipation in the mind of the reader to continue to learn about the power of God.…

    But proclaim the goodness of your Lord.” (The Koran 93:9-10). The diction of these verses gives a blunt meaning and forceful tone, as in “Did he not do this for you? Then you must give thanks to show appreciation.” These verse make the reader feel as if they have to worship their God because of all the things he has given them, not because they want to out of thanks like in Psalms 23.…

    Psalms 137 Analysis

    Hello, Bonnie, you are right that the Psalms absolutely belong. Psalms shows us how to be worshippers like the book of Proverbs teaches us how to be wise. In Psalms 137:2 I would suggest that not only were they not willing to sing for their captors because it was the Lord’s song but also that they were so sorrowful that didn’t have the heart use them. They didn’t get rid of their incitements, they had hope that one day again they would have occasion to use them, so they laid them aside (hung on a willow) for at the present time they had no use for them; God turned their, feasting into mourning and their songs into weeping (Amos. 8:10). Negative psalm have its place because if the Psalms were only filled with positive messages that only show…

    “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow evil men’s advice, who do not hang around with sinners, scoffing at the things of God.” (Psalm 1:1, Living Bible). Psalm 1:1 uses the synonymous parallelism. The synonymous parallelism is identified in this verse because both lines articulate the same idea (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). The verse describes the actions of what is godly via not listening to or being associated with evil.…

    The book of Hebrews chapter eleven has been described by many as the Bible’s ‘Hall of Faith’. The verse by verse description of both heroes and heroines of our faith fills the reader with both encouragement and admonishment. I like others I’m sure who have read these texts find it inspiring that those who believe in God and keep the faith overcome great adversity often times throughout some crazy challenges. Of course ancient people like Noah, Abraham and Moses are mentioned in this chapter. The obvious and miraculous encounters with God are legend.…

    The authority of scripture is not a small matter in spiritual development. The goal of spiritual development is for Christ to be formed within the Christian (Gal. 4:19). This formation within is impossible without the Word of God transforming a person’s heart and mind because the Word is God- breathed (2 Tim. 3:16-17).…

    Psalm 68 Analysis

    • 710 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Psalm 68 is an amazing poem written by David that gives insight into the character and qualities of God as sovereign king of both Israel and the world. What is more, the psalm bounces back and forth from speaking to God; using personal pronouns such as ‘you,’ and at the same time David is telling the reader about God. Both of these methods lend well for worship. In addition, David was a king, so his perspective of God as king and the role of the king for his people threads all the way through the entire psalm. Psalm 68 lists specific qualities of God as king, shows his primary activities on behalf of his people and parallels to how King Jesus lived while on earth.…

    The psalms are one of the more interactive portions of the bible. I say this because there is room for reflection and interpretation from the reader. The psalms are relatable to everyday emotions, such as grieve, joy, anger, and many others. The use of poetry in these portions of the bible allow the reader some creative analysis, which carries higher complexity and understanding of the readings. The topics of these poetic writings assigned are diverse, yet manage to remain around similar themes.…

    In the 23rd Psalm, there are two controlling metaphors. The first appears in verses 1-4; the metaphor is, “The Lord is my Shepherd” (1). In verses 5 and 6, there is a shift and the metaphor is more “The Lord is my host.” In verses 5 and 6, the speaker is talking about being at a table with his enemies. It is almost like the Lord is the host at dinner.…
