Psalm 21:1-13 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician.

Psalm 21:1-13            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

The king shall [have] joy in Your strength, O Lord, & how greatly he shall rejoice in Your Salvation! You [haven't withheld] the request of his lips, & You [have] given him his heart's desire. Selah.

For You [have kept] him [from death!] & You [have] [set] a pure gold crown on his head, with the blessings of goodness. He asked [for] life [from] You, & You gave it [to] him, & even [lengthened] [his] days forever & ever.

[Revelation 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root! & the Offspring of David! & the Bright & Morning Star.]

His glory is great in Your Salvation. You [have put] upon Him [honor,] & majesty. You [have] made Him [exceedingly] glad with Your [appearance,] for You [have] made Him most blessed forever.

For the king trusts in the Lord, & through the mercy of the Most High, he shall not be [removed.] Your right hand shall find out those [who] hate You, & Your hand shall find out all Your enemies.

You [shall] make them [like] a fiery oven in the time of Your anger. The Lord shall swallow them up in His [fury,] & the fire shall devour them.

[Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, & the false prophet with him, [who brought about] miracles before him, with which he deceived [those who] had received the Mark of the Beast, & [those who] worshiped his image. These were both cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.]

You [shall] destroy their fruit, [a.k.a. offspring,] from the earth, & their seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] from among the children of men. For they intended evil against You, & they [devised a plot,] which they are not able to [carry out.]

[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, & consulted [how] they might take Jesus by [trickery,] & kill Him.]

Therefore, when You [shall] make Your arrows ready upon Your [bow] strings, against them, & [shall] make them [return] back. Lord, You be exalted in Your Own strength: so we will sing, & praise Your power.

Psalm 20:1-9 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician.

Psalm 20:1-9            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord [hears] you [on] the day of trouble. You [are] [defended] in the Name of the God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] & [sends] you help from the sanctuary, & strengthens you out of Zion. [The  Lord God] [remembers] all your offerings, & [accepts] your burnt [sacrifices.] Selah.

[May the Lord God] grant you, according to your own [heart's] [desire,] & [fulfills] all your [advice] [given from Him.] We will rejoice in Your Salvation, & in the Name of our God, we will [put] up our banners. The Lord [God] [fulfills] all your [requests.] Now, I know that the Lord [God] [saves] His Anointed. [Luke 4:18-21 *The [Holy] Spirit of the Lord [God,] is upon Me, because He [has] anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor. He [has] sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, & to preach deliverance to the captives, & recovering of sight to the blind, to set [free those who] are bruised, & to preach the acceptable year of the Lord [God.] And [Jesus Christ,] closed the book, & He gave it to the minister again, & sat down. And the eyes of all [of those who] were in the synagogue, were fastened, [a.k.a.focused,] on Him. And He began to say to them, This day, this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears.]

He will hear him from His holy heaven, with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots & some in horses. But we will remember the Name of the Lord our God.

[Philippians 2:5-11 Let [your] [minds within] you, also be [like that] in Christ Jesus, Who [is] in the [image] of God, & thought it not [a crime] to be equal with God. But made Himself of no reputation, [a.k.a. without status,] & was made in the likeness of men, & took upon [Himself] the [image] of a servant. And being found in [the image like] a man, He humbled Himself, & became obedient [until] death, even the death [on] the cross. *[For this reason,] God [has] also highly exalted Him, & [has] given Him a Name [that] is above every Name. That every knee should bow at the Name of Jesus, of things in heaven, & things [on] earth, & things under the earth. *And [so] that every tongue, [a.k.a. language,] should confess to the glory of God the Father, that Jesus Christ Is Lord.]

They are brought down, & [have] fallen. But we are risen, & stand upright. Lord, save us, & let the king hear when we call.

Psalm 19:1-14 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician.

Psalm 19:1-14            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

The heavens declare the glory of God, & the [sky displays] His [handiwork.] [Genesis 9:12-14 And God said, This is the [sign] of the covenant, [a.k.a. contract, that] I make between Me, & you, & every living creature that is with you, for [continual] generations. I do set  My bow, [a.k.a. rainbow,] in the [clouds,] & it shall be for a [sign] of a covenant between Me, & the earth. And it shall [happen,] when I bring a cloud over the earth, the [rainbow] shall be seen in the [clouds.]

Speech [is] [uttered] day [by] day, & night to night, & knowledge [is] [revealed.] There is no speech, nor language, where their voice isn't heard. [Romans 10:16-18 But they all haven't obeyed the Gospel. For [Isaiah says,] Lord, who [has] believed our report? So then, faith [comes] by hearing, & hearing [comes] by the Word of God. But I say, Haven't they heard? Yes, [truly,] their sound, [a.k.a. voice,] went into all the earth, & their Word [went] to the ends of the world.]

Their [measuring] line [has] gone out through all the earth, & their words [have gone out] to the [ends] of the world. In [these,] He [has put] a tabernacle for the sun, which is [like] a bridegroom coming out of his [room, who rejoices like] a strong man [about] to run a race.

[He, a.k.a. the sun, goes out] from the [ends] of heaven. And his [orbit] [is] to the ends of it, & there is nothing [hidden] from [its] heat.

The Law of the Lord is perfect, [restoring] the soul. The Testimony of the Lord is sure, [a.k.a. beyond doubt,] making the simple, wise. The [mandates] of the Lord are right, [causing] rejoicing [of] the heart.

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear, [a.k.a. respect,] of the Lord is clean, [a.k.a. free from impurities,] enduring forever. The judgments of the Lord are altogether true & righteous. [2 Timothy 4:8 [From now on] there is laid up for me, a crown of righteousness, [that] the Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall give me [on] that day. And only to me, but also to all [those who] love [Jesus Christ, at] His [appearance.]

They are more to be desired than gold. [Yes,] than much fine gold: also, sweeter than honey & the honeycomb. [Psalm 119:127 Therefore, I love Your commandments above gold; [yes,] above fine gold.]

In keeping [these,] there is great reward & [also] by them, your servant is warned. Who can understand his errors? You, cleanse me from my secret faults. [Psalm 51:1-2 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your loving kindness. And according to Your [many] mercies, blot out my [sins.] Wash me thoroughly from [my] iniquity, & cleanse me from my sin.]

Keep Your servant back from [unintentional] sins, & also [don't] let them have [control] over me. Then I shall be upright & I shall be innocent from the [large sins.] [Psalm 119:133 [Put] my steps in order in Your Word, & [don't] let any [sin] have [control] over me.]

Let the words of my mouth, & the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength & my Redeemer. [Isaiah 59:20-21 *And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, & to [those] in Jacob, [a.k.a.Israel, who return] from [sin, says] the Lord [God.] As for Me, this is My covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] with them, [says] the Lord [God;] My [Holy] Spirit that is upon you, & My Words [that] I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, [a.k.a. children,] nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed, [a.k.a. grandchildren, from now on,] & forever, [says] the Lord [God.]

Psalm 18:1-50 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician. David, the servant of the Lord, who [spoke] to the Lord the words of this song [on] the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, & from the hand of Saul. And [David] said:

Psalm 18:1-50            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, my strength, I will love You. The Lord is my rock, my fortress & my deliverer. My God, in Whom I will trust, my strength, my [shield,] my high tower, & the horn of my salvation.

I will call upon the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised. So, I shall be saved from [my] enemies. The sorrows of death [surround] me, & [the overwhelming] [flood] of ungodly men [have] made me afraid.

The sorrows of hell [surround around] me, & the snares of death prevented me [from getting free.] I called upon the Lord, in my distress, & cried [out] to my God. He heard my voice [from] His temple, & my [outcry] came before Him, even to His ears.

Then, the earth shook, & trembled. Also, the foundations of the hills moved, & were shaken, because He was [angry.] [Revelation 6:12-13 And I [saw] when he had opened the 6th seal, & [looked,] & there was a [large] earthquake. And the sun became black [like] sackcloth [made from goats'] hair, & the moon became [like] blood. And the stars of heaven fell to earth, even [like] a fig tree [casts its unripe] figs, when she is shaken [by] a mighty wind.]

Smoke went out of His nostrils there, & fire out of His mouth devoured & coals were [ignited] by it. He bowed the heavens, & also came down: & darkness was under His feet. [Psalm 144:5 Bow Your heavens [down,] O Lord, & come down. Touch the mountains & they shall smoke.]

And He rode upon a cherub, & [flew. Yes,] He did fly upon the wings of the wind. [Psalm 99:1 The Lord [rules.] Let the people tremble. He sits between the cherubims. Let the earth be moved.]

Dark waters & thick [cloudy] skies were His pavilion [around] Him, & He made darkness, His secret  place. His thick clouds, hailstones, & coals of fire passed, at the brightness that was before Him. [Psalm 97:2-3 Clouds, & darkness are [all around] Him. Righteousness, & judgment, [a.k.a.justice,] are His [throne's] habitation. A fire [goes in front of] Him, & [burns] up His enemies [all around Him.] His [lightning] enlightened the world. The earth saw it, & trembled.]

In the heavens, the Lord also thundered: hailstones & coals of fire, & the Highest gave His voice. [Joshua 10:10-11 And the Lord [defeated] them [in front of] Israel, & [killed] them with a [large] slaughter at Gibeon. And chased them along the [road] that goes up to Beth Horon, & [killed] them to Azekah, & [all the way] to Makkedah. And it [happened,] as they fled [in front of] Israel, & were going down to Beth Horon, that the Lord cast down [large] [hail] stones from heaven upon them [all the way] to Azekah, & they died. They were more, [who] died with hailstones, than [those] whom the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel [killed] with the sword.]

[Yes,] He sent out His arrows, & scattered them. And He shot out [lightning] [bolts,] & [defeated] them. At your [scolding,] O Lord, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils, the channels of waters were then seen, & the foundations of the world were discovered. [Psalm 144:7 Send [Your] hand from above, & [rescue] me, & deliver me out of [large] waters, from the hand of [foreign] children.]

He sent from above, & He took me, & He [pulled] me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, & from [those who] hated me, for they were too strong for me.

They [confronted] me [on] the day of my calamity: for the Lord was my [support.] He also brought me [out] into a large place, & He delivered me, because He delighted in me. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness. He [repaid] me according to the cleanness of my hands. [Genesis 9:6 [Whoever] sheds man's blood, his blood shall be shed by man. For in the image of God, He made man.]

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, & haven't departed wickedly from my God. For all His judgments were before me, & I didn't put away His [mandates] from me.

I also was upright before Him, & I kept myself from [my sinfulness.] Therefore, the Lord [has repaid] me according to: my righteousness, & the cleanness of my hands in His eyesight.

You [will show] Yourself merciful with the merciful. You [will show] Yourself upright with an upright man. [Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.]

With the pure, You [will show] Yourself pure. And with the [stubborn,] You will show Yourself [stubborn.] [Proverbs 3:34 Surely, He [looks down on] the scorners; but He gives grace to the [humble.]

For You [will] save the afflicted people; but will bring down [those with] high looks. [Psalm 101:5 I will cut him off, [whoever secretly] slanders his neighbor. And I will not [put up with] him, [who] has a proud heart, & a high look.]

The Lord, my God [will lighten] my darkness, for You [will] light my candle. For by You, I have run through a troop, & by my God, I have leaped over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect. The Word of the Lord is [tested.] He is a [shield] to all those [who] trust in Him. For Who is God, [except] for the Lord? Or Who is a Rock, [except] our God? [Deuteronomy 32:39-40 See now that I, even I, am He, & there is no god with Me. I kill, & I make alive. I wound, & I heal. Neither is there any [who] can deliver out of My hand. For I lift up My hand to heaven & say, I live forever.]

It is God, [Who clothes] me with strength, & [makes] my way, [a.k.a. path,] perfect. He [makes] my feet like [the] feet [of deer,] & He [puts] me upon my high places.

[Isaiah 58:14 Then, you [shall] delight yourself in the Lord, & I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, & feed you with the heritage of Jacob, your [forefather.] For the mouth of the Lord [has] spoken it.]

He [teachesJ my hands to [battle,] so that a bow of steel is broken by [my] arms. You [have] also given me the shield of Your salvation. And Your right hand has [held] me up, & Your [kindness has] made me great. You [have] enlarged my [path] under me, [so] my feet don't slip.

[Proverbs 4:11-12 I have taught you in the [ways] of wisdom, & I have led you in [the] right paths. When you go, your steps shall not be [hindered,] & when you run, you shall not stumble.]

I have pursued [my] enemies, & overtaken them. Neither did I turn [back]  again [until] they were [destroyed.] I have wounded [those who] were not able to rise [up.] They [have] fallen under my feet. For You [have clothed] me with strength [for] the battle. You [have put] under [my control] those [who] rose up against me.

Also, You [have] given me the necks of [my] enemies; [so] that I might destroy [those who] hate me. They cried [out,] even to the Lord, but He [didn't] answer them, [and] there was [no one] to save them. [Judges 10:11-14 And the Lord said to the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, Didn't I deliver you from the: Egyptians, Amorites, the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Ammon, & from the Philistines? Also: the Zidonians, [a.k.a. Sidonians,] Amalekites, & the Maonites, [who] [oppressed] you. And you cried [out] to Me, & I delivered you out of their hand. [Still,] you have [abandoned] Me, & served other gods. [For this reason,] I will no [longer] deliver you. Go, & cry [out] to the gods, [that] you have chosen. Let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.]

Then, I beat them [down like fine] dust, [in front of] the wind. I [threw] them out [like] the dirt in the streets. You [have] delivered me from the [quarrels] of the people. And You [have] made me the head, [a.k.a. leader,] of the heathen: a people whom I haven’t known, shall serve me. [Romans 9:23-26 And [so] that He might make known the [richness] of His glory [on] the vessels [by] mercy, [that] He  had [previously] prepared [for] glory, even us, whom He [has] called, not only the Jews, but also the Gentiles? [Like] He also [said] in [Hosea,] I will call them My people, [who] weren't My people, & [call] her beloved, [who] wasn't beloved. And it shall [happen,] that in the place where it was said to them, You aren't My people, they shall be called there, the children of the Living God.]

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me. The strangers, [a.k.a. foreigners,] shall submit themselves to me. The [foreigners] shall fade away, & be afraid [from] their [secret] places. The Lord [lives.] And blessed be my Rock, & let the God of my Salvation be exalted.

It is God, [Who avenges] me, & [calms] the people under me. He [delivers] me from [my] enemies. [Yes,] You [lift] me up above those [who] rise up against me. You [have] delivered me from the violent man.

Therefore, I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the heathen, & sing praises to Your Name. He [gives] great deliverance, & [demonstrates] mercy to his king, to David, His anointed, & to his seed, [a.k.a. lineage,] forever more.

[*2 Samuel 7:12-13 And when your days [are] fulfilled, & you [shall] sleep with your [forefathers,] I will set up your seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] after you, [who] shall proceed [from] your [loins,] & I will establish His kingdom. He shall build [a] house for My Name, & I will [establish] His kingdom forever.]

Psalm 17:1-15 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Prayer of David.

Psalm 17:1-15            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, give [Your] ear & hear the [righteous] & [take care of] my [outcry] & my prayer, that goes out from [sincere, not deceitful] lips. Let Your eyes [see] the things that are [fair] & let my sentence come [out] from Your presence.

You have [tested my] heart & visited me in the night. You have tried me & shall find nothing. [My desire is] my mouth shall not [sin.] [Psalm 66:10 For You, O God, have [tested] us. You have tried us, [like] silver is tried.]

By the Word of Your lips, I have kept [myself from] the [deeds] of men & the paths of the destroyer. [Hebrews 2:14 Then, [like] the children have flesh & blood, Christ, Himself also took the same flesh & blood; so that through death, Christ might destroy him, [who] had the power [over] death [which] is the devil.]

[Uphold,] my [going on] Your paths, [so] my footsteps [don't] slip. I have called upon You. [Lean] Your ear to me, for You will hear me, O God & hear [what I say.]

[Show] Your marvelous loving kindness, [to those who] put their trust in You. O You, [Who] saves by Your right hand, from those [who] rise up against them.

Keep me [like] the apple of [Your] eye & hide me under the shadow of Your wings, from the wicked [who] oppress me & from my deadly enemies [who surround around] me.

They are [covered] in their own fat & speak proudly with their mouth. They have now [surrounded] us in our steps & bowing down to the earth, they have set their eyes [upon us] like a greedy lion & a young lion, lurking in secret places [for] his prey.

O Lord, arise & cast him down & [confront] him. Deliver my soul from the wicked, [with] Your sword: From men, [with] Your hand, O Lord, from men of the world, [who] have their portion in this [lifetime.] [Psalm 16:5 You uphold my lot. The Lord is the portion & my cup of [my] inheritance.]

[Those] whose [stomachs] You fill with Your [hidden] treasure. [2 Kings 24:13-14 And he carried out [from there] all the treasures of the house of the Lord & the treasures of the king's house & cut in pieces all the vessels of gold [that] Solomon, king of Israel, had made [for] the temple of the Lord, [like] the Lord had said.]

They [have many] children & leave the rest of their [possessions] to their [little ones.] As for me, I will [see] Your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied when I awake, with Your likeness.

[1 John 3:2-3 Beloved, we are now the sons of God & it's not [apparent] yet, what we shall be. But we know that when we shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him [like] He is. And every man [who] has this hope in [Christ,] purifies himself, even [like God] is pure.]

Psalm 16:1-11 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Michtam [a.k.a. Miktam,] of David.

Psalm 16:1-11            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

[Save] me, O God: for I do put my trust in You. O my soul [has] said to the Lord, My goodness [is nothing without] You, [Who are] my Lord. But all my delight is to the saints, in whom [are] the excellent [on] the earth.

[Those who hurry] after another god, shall [have] their sorrows multiplied. I won't offer their drink offerings of blood, nor take up their names [on] my lips. [Revelation 3:5 He [who overcomes,] shall be clothed in white raiment, & I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name [in front of] My Father, & before His Angels.]

You [uphold] my lot, & the Lord is the portion of: [my] inheritance, & my cup. The [boundary] lines [have] fallen to me in pleasant places. [Yes,] I have a [large] heritage, [a.k.a. inheritance.]

I will bless the Lord, Who [has] given me [advice,] & also [instructs] me [through] the night [time] [by] my [heart strings.] I have always [put] the Lord before me, because He is at my right hand, & I shall not be [removed.]

Therefore, my flesh shall also rest in hope, & my heart is glad, & [rejoices] in [Your] glory. *For You [will] not leave My soul in hell. Neither [will] You [allow] Your Holy One to see corruption.

[Acts 2:30-31 Therefore, being a prophet, & knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, [a.k.a. king David,] that He would raise up Christ to sit on His throne; [from] the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh. He seeing this [beforehand, spoke] of the resurrection of Christ. That His soul wasn't left in hell, & neither did His flesh see corruption.]

You [will show] me the path of life. [Full] of joy in Your presence. There are pleasures forevermore at Your right hand. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.]
