Psalm 34:1-22 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove [David] away & he departed.

Psalm 34:1-22            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My [soul's] boast shall be in the Lord & the humble shall hear [of it] & be glad. O let us magnify the Lord & exalt His Name together with me.

I sought the Lord & He heard me & delivered me from all my fears. [Those who] looked to Him & were [enlightened] & their faces weren't ashamed. [Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God, [that leads] to salvation to everyone [who] believes.

To the Jew 1st & to the Greek. For [in it] the righteousness of God is revealed, [starting with] faith [leading] to [deeper] faith. As it is written, The just shall live by faith.]

The poor man cried [out] & the Lord heard him & saved him out of all his troubles. The Angel of the Lord [camps around those who] fear [respect] Him & delivers them. O taste & see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man [who] trusts in Him.

[Psalm 119:102-104 I have not departed from Your judgments: for You have taught me. How sweet are Your words to my taste! [Yes,] sweeter than honey to my mouth. Through Your [commandments] I get understanding. Therefore, I hate every false [path.]

[Psalm 119:102-104 I have not departed from Your judgments: for You have taught me. How sweet are Your words to my taste! [Yes,] sweeter than honey to my mouth. Through Your [commandments] I get understanding. Therefore, I hate every false [path.]

O you, His saints, fear the Lord: for there is no [lack] to those [who] fear [respect] Him. The young lions do lack & suffer hunger: but [those who] seek the Lord, shall not [lack] any good thing.

Come, you children & [listen] to me & I will teach you the fear [respect] of the Lord. What man [doesn't] desire life & love many days, [so] that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil & your lips from speaking [deceitfully.]  Depart from evil & do good. Seek peace & pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous & His ears are open to their [outcry.] The face of the Lord is against [those who] do evil, to cut off the [memory] of them from the earth. The righteous cry [out] & the Lord hears & delivers them out of all their troubles.

The Lord is [near] to [those who have] a broken heart & saves [those who have a repentant] spirit. [2 Peter 3:9 The Lord isn't slack concerning His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient] to us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.]

Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of all [of] them. * He keeps all His bones: not one of them is broken. [John 19:33-36 But when they came to Jesus & saw that He was dead already, they [didn't] break His legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side & [immediately] blood & water came out.

And he [who] saw it bare record & his record is true. And He knows [what] he said is true, [so] you might believe. For these things were done, [so] that the scriptures should be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken.]

Evil shall [kill] the wicked & [those who] hate the righteous shall be desolate. [Psalm 140:11-12 Let not [someone who speaks] evil be established in the earth. Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted & the [rights] of the poor.]

The Lord redeems the soul of His servants & none of [those who] trust in Him shall be [alone.]

Psalm 71:1-24 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

Psalm 71:1-24            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, I put my trust in You. Let me never be put to [shame.] [Psalm 25: O my God, I trust in You. Let me not be ashamed & [don't] let [my] enemies triumph over me. [Yes,] let none [who] wait on You be ashamed. Let [those] be ashamed [who sin] without cause.]

In Your righteousness, deliver me & [have] me escape. [Lean] Your ear to [hear] me & save me & You be my strong [place to reside, that] I may continually [turn to as a source of assistance.] You have given [the command] to save me, for You are my Rock & my Fortress.

O my God, deliver me out of the hand of the wicked & out of the hand of the unrighteous & cruel man. For You, Lord, are my hope, O God. From my youth, my trust [is in] You.

You [are] He, [Who] took me out of my mother's [stomach.] From the womb, I have been [upheld & supported] by You. Continually, my praise shall be of You. But You are my strong refuge. To many, I am [like] a [sign.] [Isaiah 8:18-19 [Look,] the children whom the Lord has given me & I are for signs & for wonders in Israel, from the Lord of Hosts, [Who] dwells in Zion.

And when they shall say to you, Seek to [those who] have familiar spirits & to wizards [who moan] & mutter. Shouldn't people seek their God? For the Living, [instead of] to the dead?]

All the day, let my mouth be filled with Your praise & with honor [for] You. [Don't abandon] me when my strength fails & [don't] cast me off in the time of old age. For [my] enemies speak against me & [those who lie in] wait for my [life, take counsel together, saying, God has [abandoned] him.

[Pursue & capture] him, for there [are] none to deliver him.] [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 Ciaphas & consulted that they might take Jesus by [trickery] to kill Him.]

O God, [don't] be far from me. O my God, [hurry] for my help. Let [those who] are [enemies] to my [life] be [confused & destroyed.] Let [those who] seek my [harm] be covered with [disgrace] & dishonor.

But I will continually praise You & yet will hope more & more. My mouth shall [declare] Your [unlimited] righteousness & Your Salvation all day [long.] [Psalm 98:2-3 The Lord has made known His Salvation. He has openly [shown] His righteousness in the sight of the heathen.

He has remembered His mercy & truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the Salvation of our God.]

I will mention only Your righteousness, Lord God & I will go in Your strength. O God, You have taught me from my youth & [up until now,] I have declared Your wondrous works. [Psalm 105:38-41 Egypt was glad when they departed:

For the fear of [the Israelites] fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering & fire to give light in the night. The people asked & He brought quails & satisfied them with bread [from] heaven. He opened the rock & waters gushed out & they ran in the dry places like a river.]

Now, when I'm old & also grayheaded, O God, [don't abandon] me; until I have [shown] Your strength to this generation & Your power to everyone [who] is to come. Very high is Your righteousness, O God, [Who] has also done great things.

O God, who is [similar] to You! [Psalm 35:10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is [similar] to You, [Who] delivers the poor from him, [who] is too strong for him. [Yes,] the poor & needy from him [who plunders] him?]

You, [Who] has [shown] me [large & serious] troubles, shall [bring me to life] again, from the depths of the earth. [John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, I Am the Resurrection & the Life. He, [who] believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And [whoever] lives & believes in Me, shall never die. [Do] you believe this?]

You shall comfort me on every side & increase my [significance.] I will also praise You, even Your Truth, with the [lyre,] O my God. I will sing to You with the harp, O You Holy One of Israel. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.]

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You & my soul, which You have redeemed. For [those are confused, who] seek my [harm,] for they are brought to shame & my [mouth] shall also talk of Your righteousness all day long.

Psalm 58:1-11 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

Michtam, [a.k.a. Miktam,] of David to the chief Musician, Altaschith.

Psalm 58:1-11            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O you sons of men, do you indeed speak [what is righteous?] O [you silent] congregation, do you judge [fairly?] [Yet, in your hearts] you [do the] work [of the wicked.] You [measure] the violence of your hands [on] the earth.

From [birth,] the wicked are [distanced.] They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a [snake] & they are like a deaf [cobra] that [plugs its ears; to the sound] of the charmers, charming ever so [skillfully.]

O God, break their teeth in their mouth. O Lord, break out the [large] teeth of the young lions. Let them melt away [& disappear] like waters [that] run continually. When he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be like [they are] cut into pieces.

As a snail [that] melts, let everyone of them pass away; like a woman's [stillborn] birth, that may not see the sun. In His [fury,] He shall take them away [alive, like] with a whirlwind, before your pots can feel the thorns.

[Psalm 118:12 They [surrounded around] me like bees. They are [extinguished] like the fire of thorns. For I will destroy them in the Name of the Lord.]

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance & he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. [Truly,] He is a God, [Who] judges [throughout] the earth, so that a man shall say, [Truly,] there is a reward for the righteous.

[Revelation 22:11-15 He, [who] is unjust, let him still be unjust. He, [who] is filthy, let him still be filthy. And he, [who] is righteous, let him still be righteous. And he, [who] is holy, let him still be holy.

And [watch,] I come quickly & My reward shall be to give every man according [to] his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.

Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] they may have [the] right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters & [whoever loves to invent & tells lies.]

Psalm 33:1-22 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

Psalm 33:1-22            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O you righteous, rejoice in the Lord: for praise is [beautiful] for the upright. Praise the Lord with [harps] & sing to Him with the [lyre] & [instruments] with 10 strings. Sing to Him, a new song. Play skillfully with a loud noise.

For the Word of the Lord is right & all His words are done in Truth. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the father, [except] by Me.]

He loves righteousness & [justice.] The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. The heavens were made, by the word of the Lord. And by the breath of His mouth, all the [stars of] the heavens were made.

[Genesis 1:16-17 And God made 2 great lights. The [larger] light to rule the day & the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. And God [put] them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.]

He gathered the waters of the sea together [like] a heap. He lays up the [deep] in storehouses. [Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together [into] one place & let the dry land appear & it was so.]

Let all the earth fear [respect] the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He [spoke] & it was done. He commanded & it stood [firmly secured.]

[Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning, God created the heaven & the earth. And the earth was without form & [empty.] And darkness was upon the [surface] of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the [surface] of the waters. And God said, Let there be light & there was light.]

The Lord brings the counsel of the heathen to [nothing.] He makes the [wicked plots] of the people [ineffective.] The counsel of the Lord stands forever & the thought of His heart to all generations. [Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers & the flower fades, but the Word of our God, shall stand forever.]

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord & the people whom He has chosen for His Own inheritance. The Lord looks from heaven & He [sees] all the sons of men. From the place of His habitation, He looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioned their hearts [the same.] He considers all their works.

A mighty man is not delivered by much strength & there is no king saved by the multitude of an [army.] [Jeremiah 9:23-24 The Lord [said this, Don't] let the wise man [boast] in his wisdom. Neither let the mighty man [boast] in his [strength. Don't] let the rich man [boast] in his riches.

But let him [who boasts, boast] in this, that he understands & knows Me, that I Am the Lord, [Who delivers] loving kindness, [justice] & righteousness, in the earth. For I delight in these things, says the Lord.]

A horse is a vain thing for safety. Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. [Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots & some in horses: but we will remember the Name of the Lord, our God.]

[Look,] the eye of the Lord is upon [those who] fear [respect] Him & upon [those who] hope in His mercy; to deliver their soul from death & to keep them alive in famine.

[Revelation 7:14-17 And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are [those who] came out of great tribulation & have washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple.

And He, [Who] sits on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall no [longer] hunger, neither thirst anymore. Neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of waters & God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

Our soul waits for the Lord. He is our help & our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His Holy Name. Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according [to our] hope in You.

Psalm 32:1-11 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, Maschil

Psalm 32:1-11            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Blessed is he whose [sins] are covered & forgiven. [1 John 2:1-2 My [young believers,] I write these things to you, [so] you don't sin. And if any man [sins,] we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. And He is the [atonement] for our sins: & not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.]

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord [doesn't hold responsible for his] sin & in whose spirit there is no [deceit. [Romans 3:23-25 For all [people] have sinned & come short of the glory of God.

Being freely justified by [God's] grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God has set to be [an atonement] through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the [forgiveness] past sins, through the [patience] of God.]

When I kept [silent,] my bones [grew] old through my [groaning] all day long. For day & night, Your hand was heavy upon me. My [sweat has evaporated & returned for] the drought of summer.

I [admitted] my sin to You & haven't [hidden] my iniquity.  I said, I will confess to the Lord my transgressions & You forgave [me,] the iniquity of my sin. Selah. [1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful & just to forgive us our sins & to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.]

Everyone, [who] is godly shall pray to You, for this in a time when You may be found. Surely, [during] the [large] flood waters, they [won't] come [near] to him.

[1 Timothy 1:16 [However,] for this [reason,] I [was given] mercy, [so] Jesus Christ might 1st [show] all [patience through] me, over time, [as an example for those who] after this, should believe in Him, [leading to] everlasting [life.]

You are my hiding place & You shall [protect] me from trouble. You shall [surround] me with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct you & teach you in the way which you shall go. [My eyes] will guide you.

[Don't] be [like] the horse or the mule, which have no understanding. Whose mouth must be [controlled] with [a] bit & bridle, lest they come near to you. The wicked shall [have] many sorrows & [he who] trusts in the Lord, shall [circle around] him.

[Psalm 16:4 [Those who hurry] after another god & their drink offering of blood, their sorrows shall be multiplied. I will not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.] You righteous, be glad & rejoice in the Lord. Shout for joy, all you [who have] upright [hearts.]

Psalm 31:1- 24 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David to the chief Musician.

Psalm 31:1- 24           Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I put my trust in You, O Lord. [Don't] let me [ever] be ashamed. Deliver me in Your righteousness. [May] You, be my [fortress] & strong rock of defense & bow down Your ear to me & deliver me speedily, to save me. For Your Name's sake, lead me & guide me.

Therefore, You [are] my Rock & my Fortress. For You [are] my strength, pull me out of the net that they have [secretly] laid for me. Into Your hand, I commit my Spirit. You have redeemed me, O Lord God of Truth.

[Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried [out] with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Your hands I commend My Spirit. And having said [this,] He [breathed his last breath.] I have hated [those who] regard [what is] lying [vanity,] but I trust in the Lord.

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

I will be glad & rejoice in Your mercy: for You have known my soul in [adversity} & considered my [troubles] & haven't [silenced me] [& put] me into the hand of the enemy.

You have set my feet in a large room. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble. [My] eye, my soul & my [stomach are] consumed with grief. [Psalm 6:7 [My] eye is consumed because of grief. It [grows] old, because of all my enemies.]

For my life is spent with grief & my years with sighing. My strength [has failed,] because of my [sin] & my bones are consumed. I was a [disgrace] among all [my] enemies, but especially among my neighbors & [acquaintances.] [Those who] saw me [outside,] fled from me.

[Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised & rejected [by] men. A man of sorrows & acquainted with grief. And we hid [like] it were our face from Him.He was despised & we [didn't respect] Him.

Surely, He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows. Yet, we [didn't regard] Him, [struck,] smitten & afflicted [by] God. But He was wounded for our [sins.] He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of [holding] our peace was upon Him & with His stripes, we are healed.]

I am out of mind, forgotten [like] a dead man. I am like a broken vessel. For I have heard the slander of man. Fear was on every side, while they took counsel together against Me. They [plotted] to take away My life.

[Matthew 27:1-2 When the morning [had] come, all the chief priests & elders of the people, took counsel against Jesus, to put Him to death. And when they had bound Him, they led Him away & delivered Him to Pontius Pilate, the governor.]

But I trusted in You, O Lord. I said, You [are] My God. My times are in Your hand. Deliver Me from the hand of My enemies & from [those who] persecute Me. [Matthew 5:10-12 Blessed are [those who[ are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you, when men shall [insult] you & persecute you & shall say all [types] of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice & be [exceedingly] glad: For great is your reward in heaven. For they persecuted the prophets [this way, who] were before you.]

Make Your face shine upon Your servant & save me for Your mercies' sake. O Lord, Let me not be ashamed & let the wicked be ashamed & let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips, which proudly speak [dreadful, insulting] things against the righteous, be [silenced.]

[Matthew 27:39-42 And [those who] passed by [insulted] Him, wagging their heads & saying, You, [Who] destroys the temple & builds it in 3 days, save Yourself. If you [are] the Son of God, come down from the cross.

Also, the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes & elders, said, He saved others. He cannot save Himself. If He [is] the KIng of Israel, let Him come down now from the cross & we will believe Him.]

Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have [fashioned] for [those who] trust in You, which You have [set aside] for [those who] fear [respect] You, before the sons of men!

In Your presence, secretly You shall hide them from the [quarreling] tongues & the pride of man & You shall keep them in a secret pavilion. [Psalm 27:5 For in the time of trouble, He shall hide me in His pavilion. He shall [put] me up on a rock & He shall hide me in the secret [places] of His tabernacle.]

Blessed be the Lord: for He has [shown] me His marvelous kindness in a [fortified] city. For in my haste, I said, I am cut off from before Your eyes. [Still,] You heard the [sound] of my [appeals] when I cried [out] to You.

O love the Lord, all you, His saints: for the Lord [protects] the faithful & plentifully [paysback those who do proudly.] [Psalm 101:5-6 [Whoever privately] slanders his neighbor, I will cut him off. Him [who] has a high look & a proud heart, I will not [allow.]

[My] eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, [so] they may [live] with Me. He [who follows] in a [path without blame,] shall serve Me.] Be of good courage & He shall strengthen your heart, all you [who] hope in the Lord.
