Psalm 6:1-10 Book #1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician on Neginoth [a.k.a. Nehiloth]

Psalm 6:1-10            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, [don't scold] me in Your anger, neither [chastise] me in Your hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak. O Lord, heal me; for my bones are [in anguish.]

My soul is also [very troubled:] but You, O Lord, how [much longer?] O Lord, return & deliver my soul. Oh, save  me for Your mercies' sake. For in death, there is no [memory] of You. In the grave, who shall give You thanks?

[Psalm 115:17 The dead [don't] praise the Lord, neither [do] any [who] go down into silence.] I am [tired, because of] my groaning. All night. I make my bed to swim & I water my [bed] with my tears.

[My] eye is consumed, because of grief. It [grows] old, because of all [my] enemies. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity. For the Lord has heard the [sound] of my weeping.

The Lord has heard my [request] & [He] will receive my prayers.  Let all [my] enemies be ashamed & [greatly troubled.] Let them be suddenly ashamed & not return.

Psalm 5:1-12 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician upon Nehiloth [a.k.a. Neginoth]

Psalm 5:1-12           Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, give Your ear [& listen] to my words & consider [my thoughts.] [Pay attention] to the [sound] of my cry, my King & my God. For I will pray to You. You shall hear my voice in the morning, O Lord. In the morning, I will look up & direct my prayer to You.

For you are not a God, [Who] has pleasure in wickedness & neither shall evil [live] with You. The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

[Psalm 1:5 Therefore, the ungodly shall not stand in the [position] of judgment, nor the sinners in the congregation [stand in the position] of the righteous.] You shall destroy [those who] speak [what are falsehoods.]

The Lord will [loathe] the [blood thirsty] & deceitful man. But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy. I will worship You in fear [respect] toward Your holy temple.

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness, because of [my] enemies. Make Your [path] straight, [without going off course] before my face. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth.

[Within them] is wickedness & their mouth is an open [tomb] & they flatter with their [mouth.] [Romans 3:13 Their throat is an open [tomb] & they have used their [mouths deceitfully.] The poison of [cobras] is under their lips.]

O God, destroy them. Let them fall by their own [advice.] In the multitude of their [sins,] cast them out; for they have rebelled against You. But let all those [who] put their trust in Your rejoice.

Let them [always] shout for joy, because You defend them. Let [those who] love Your Name, also be joyful [through] You. For You, Lord, will bless the righteous, with favor & You will [surround] him with a shield.

Psalm 4:1-8 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician on Neginoth [a.k.a. Nehiloth]

Psalm 4:1-8           Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, when I call, hear of my righteousness. You have [relieved] me when I was in distress. Have mercy upon me, O God & hear my prayer. O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame?

How long will you love [what is] vanity & seek after [what are falsehoods?] Selah. Stand in awe & [don't] sin. Be still & [talk within] your own heart upon your bed. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness & put your trust in the Lord.

There [are] many [who] say, Who will [show] us any good? Lord, lift up Your light of Your countenance upon us. [Psalm 80:3 [Return] us again, O God & cause Your face to shine & we shall be saved.]

You have put gladness [within] my heart, more than in the time that their corn & wine [production] increased. I will both lay [myself] down in peace & sleep. But only You, Lord make me [live] in safety.

Psalm 3:1-8 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom, his son.

Psalm 3:1-8            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Lord, there are many [who] rise up against me. How [those] are increased [who] trouble me! There are many [who] say of my soul, There is no help for him [from] God. Selah.

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me & my glory. [You] lift up my head. [Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength & my shield. My heart trusts in Him & I am helped. Therefore, My heart greatly rejoices & I will praise Him with my song.]

I cried [out] to the Lord with my voice & He heard me out of His Holy Hill. Selah. [Psalm 2:6 Yet, I have [put] My King upon My Holy Hill of Zion.]

I laid [myself] down & slept. I [awakened;] for the Lord [protected] me.  [Leviticus 26:6 I will give peace in the land & you shall lie down & none shall make you afraid, And I will  [remove wild animals] out of the land. Neither shall the sword go through Your land.]

Arise, O Lord & save me, O my God. For you have [struck] all [my] enemies upon the cheekbone. You have broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah.

Psalm 2:1-12 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

Psalm 2:1-12            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

*Why do the heathen [a.k.a. Gentiles] rage & the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth [install] themselves & the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord & against His anointed, saying, Let us break their [bondage in chains to pieces] & cast away their [ropes] from us.

[Fulfilled in: Matthew 26:3-4 Then the chief priests, scribes & elders of the people assembled together, to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas. And consulted that they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him.]

He, Who sits in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord shall [ridicule] them. Then He shall speak to them in His [anger] & [distress] them, in His [extreme] displeasure. Yet, I have [put] My King upon My Holy Hill of Zion.

*I will [proclaim] a decree: the Lord has said to Me, You are My Son; this day I have begotten You. [Fulfilled in: Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him & a voice came from heaven, which said, You are My beloved Son. In You, I am well pleased.]

Ask of Me & I shall give [to] You the heathen for Your inheritance & the [furthest] parts of the earth for Your possession. *You shall break them with the rod of iron. You shall dash them [into] pieces like a potter's vessel.

[Revelation 19:15 And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should [strike] the nations. And He shall rule them with a rod of iron & He [tramples] the wine press of the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God.]

Therefore, be wise now, O you kings & be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear [respect] & rejoice trembling. KIss the Son, lest He be angry & you perish from the [path,] when His wrath [is started only] a little. Blessed are all [those who] put their trust in Him.

[Revelation 6:16-17 And [they] said to the mountains & rocks, Fall on us & hide us from the face of Him, [Who] sits on the throne & from the wrath of the Lamb; For the great day of His wrath [has] come & who shall be able to [withstand it?]

Psalm 1:1-6 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

Psalm 1:1-6            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Blessed is the man [who doesn't follow] the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the [path] of sinners, nor sits in the seat [of those who look down on others.] [Proverbs 4:14 [Don't] enter into the path of the wicked & don't go the way of evil men.]

But his delight is the way of the Lord & in [God's] Law, he [thinks about it] day & night. And he shall be like a tree, planted by the [water's] rivers, that [produce its] fruit in [its] season. Also, his leaf shall not wither & [whatever] he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not [this way;] but are like the [stubble] the wind [blows] away. Therefore, the ungodly shall not stand in [positions of] judgment, nor sinners [stand in positions] in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the [path] of the righteous, but the [path] of the ungodly shall perish. [Psalm 37:18 The Lord knows the days of the upright & their inheritance shall be forever.]

Job 42:1-17 The Lord Speaks to Job's So-Called Friends

The Lord Speaks to Job's So-Called Friends

Job  42:1-17                             Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Job answered the Lord & said, I know that you can do everything & that no thought can be [withheld] from You. [I'm] he, who hides counsel without knowledge. Therefore, I've uttered [what] I didn't understand; things too wonderful for me, which I [didn't] know.

Hear [me,] I [beg] You, and I will speak. I will demand [questions] of You & You will declare [the answers] to me. I have heard of You [by listening with my ears,] but now [my eyes] see You. [Therefore,] I [loathe] myself & repent in dust & ashes.

The Lord had [previously] spoken these words to Job, [Job 38:4 Where [were] you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Declare [it,] if you have understanding.]

[Afterward,] the Lord said, to Eliphaz, the Temanite, My [anger grows] against you & against your 2 friends, for you have not spoken of Me, the [things] that [are] right, like My servant, Job, has.

Therefore, take [for] you now: 7 [bulls] & 7 rams & go to My servant, Job & offer a burnt offering for yourselves & My servant, Job, shall pray for you: for I will accept him: lest I deal with you [according to your [lack of good judgment,] in that, you haven't spoken of Me [what] is right, [like] My servant, Job.

So, Eliphaz, the Temanite, Bildad, the Shuhite & Zophar, the Naamathite, went & did according as the Lord commanded them. The Lord also accepted Job. When [Job] prayed for his friends, the Lord [returned Job's possessions that had been captive] & the Lord also gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Then, all [Job's brothers] & all his sisters & all [who had] been his [acquaintances] before, came there to him. And [they] ate bread with [Job] in his house & they [mourned with] him & comforted him over all the [adversity] the Lord had brought upon [Job.]

Also, every man gave him a piece of money & everyone [gave] a gold earring. So, the Lord blessed the latter [years] of Job, more than his beginning. For [Job] had 14,000 sheep; 6,000 camels; 1,000 yoke of oxen & 1,000 [female donkeys.]

[Job] also had 7 sons & 3 daughters. And [Job] called the name of the 1st, Jemima; the name of the 2nd, Kezia & the name of the 3rd, Keren-Happuch. There were no women found so fair in all that land, as the daughter of Job. And their father gave them [an] inheritance among their [brothers.]

After this, Job lived 140 years. And [Job] saw his sons & his sons' sons, even [until] 4 generations. So, Job died, being old & full of [years.]

[Job 5:25-26 You shall also know that your [descendants] shall be great & your offspring [like] the grass of the earth. You shall come to your grave [at your] full age, like a shock of corn comes in [its] season.]
