Psalm 41:1-13 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David to the chief Musician.

Psalm 41:1-13            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Blessed is he, [who] considers the poor. The Lord will deliver him in [times] of trouble. The Lord will [safeguard] him & keep him alive & He shall be blessed upon the earth.

And You will not deliver him to the enemies. Upon the bed [wasting away,] the Lord will strengthen him & [restore him] in his sickness. I said, Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.

[Psalm 147:2-3 The Lord [builds] up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. He heals the broken [hearted] & binds up their wounds.] [My] enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die & his name [perishes?]

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

And if he [comes] to see me, he speaks [what is] vanity. His heart, itself gathers [sin to it.] He tells it, when he goes [around.] All, [who] hate me, whisper together against me & they [plot] my [harm.]

[Matthew 26:13-16 Then, 1 of the 12, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests & said to them, What will you give me & I will deliver Him to you? And they [promised] him 30 pieces of silver. And from that time, [Judas] sought an opportunity to betray Him.]

They say, A [terrible] disease [clings] to him & he shall no [longer] rise up, now that he lies [in the sickbed.] [*Yet,] my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who [ate] of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

[Matthew 26:20-25 Now, when the [evening had] come, He sat down with the 12. And as they [ate,] He said, [Truly,] I say to you, that one of you shall betray Me. And they were [exceedingly] sorrowful & everyone of them began to say to Him, Lord, is it I? And He answered & said, He, who dips his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me.

The Son of Man goes as it is written of Him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been [better] for that man, if he had not been born. Then, Judas, [who] betrayed Him, [asked] & said, [Teacher,] is it I? [Jesus] said to [Judas,] You have said [it.]

But, O Lord, be merciful to me & You, raise me up, [so] I may [repay] them. [Revelation 22:12-15 And, [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give to 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] that they may have 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.]

By this, I know You favor me, because [my] enemies don't triumph over me. [John 20:26-30 And after 8 days, again His disciples were [inside] & Thomas with them. Then, Jesus came, the doors being shut & stood in the [middle] & said, Peace be to you. Then, He said to Thomas, Reach your finger [here & see] My hands.

And reach your hand [here] & thrust it into My side & [don't] be [without faith,] but believing. And Thomas answered & said to Him, My Lord & my God. Jesus said to him, Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are [those who] haven't seen & [still] have believed.]

And as for me, You uphold me in [my] integrity & [put] me before Your face forever. [Revelation 3:21-22 To him [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [in] My throne, even as I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [in] His throne.]

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. Amen & Amen.

Psalm 40:1-17 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician.

Psalm 40:1-17            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I waited patiently for the Lord & He [leaned] to me & heard my [outcry.] He also brought me up, out of a horrible pit, out of the [muddy] clay & set my feet upon a rock & established my [steps.]

[Psalm 69:14 Deliver me out of the [mud] & [don't] let me sink. Let me be delivered from [those who] hate me & out of deep waters.] And He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise [for] our God. Many shall see it & fear [respect] & shall trust in the Lord.

Blessed is that man [who trusts in] the Lord & [doesn't] respect the proud, nor [those who] turn to [what are] lies. O Lord, my God, many are your wonderful works, which You have done & Your thoughts, which are [toward us.]

If I would [announce] & speak of them, they are more than can be numbered & can't be [calculated] in order, to You. [Psalm 139:17-19 Also, how precious are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the [total] of them!

If I should count them, they are [larger] in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. Surely, You will slay the wicked, O God. Therefore, you [bloodthirsty] men, depart from me.]

You didn't desire sacrifice & offering & You haven't required burnt [offerings] & sin [offerings.] You have opened my ears. [Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man [didn't] come to be ministered to, but to minister & to give His life, a ransom for many.]

Then, I said, [Look,] I come. In the volume of the [scriptures,] it is written of Me. [Hebrews 10:9-10 Then, He said, [Look,] I come to do Your will, O God. He [took] away the 1st [Covenant, so] He may establish the 2nd [Covenant.] By which, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.]

I delight to do Your will, O my God. [Yes,] Your law is within my heart. [John 4:34 Jesus said to them, My [food] is to do the will of Him, [who] sent Me & to finish His work.] I have preached righteousness in the [large] congregation.

[Look,] O Lord, You know, I haven't [withheld] my lips. I haven't hidden Your righteousness within my heart. I have declared Your faithfulness & Your Salvation. I haven't concealed Your loving kindness & Your Truth from the [large] congregation.

[John 14:6 Jesus [said] to him, I am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.] [Don't] withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord. Let Your loving kindness & Your Truth continually [safeguard] me.

For [numerous] evils have [surrounded] me. My [sins] have taken hold [of] me, so I'm not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of [my] head. Therefore, my heart fails me. O Lord, be pleased to deliver me. O Lord, [hurry] to help me.

Let them be [both] ashamed & [confused, who] seek after my soul to destroy it. Let [those who] wish me evil, be driven backward & put to shame. Let them be desolate, [as repayment for] their shame [for saying,] Aha, Aha, to me.

[Galatians 6:7 [Don't] be deceived. God is not mocked. For [whatever] a man [plants, he all shall also [harvest.]

Let all [those who] seek You, rejoice & be glad in You. Let [those who] love Your Salvation continually say, The Lord be magnified. But I am poor & needy. [Still,] the Lord thinks upon me. You [are] my help & my deliverer. [Don't delay,] O my God.

Psalm 39:1-13 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun.

Psalm 39:1-13           Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I said, I will [pay attention] to my ways, [so] I [don't] sin with my [tongue.] I will keep [control of] my mouth, with a bridle, while the wicked [are] before me.

[James 3:8-9 But the tongue no man can tame. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. [With this,] we bless, even God the Father & [with this,] we also curse men, [who] are made in the [image] of God.]

I was [mute] with silence. I held my peace, even from good & my sorrow was stirred. [Isaiah 53:7-8 He was oppressed & He was afflicted, yet he [didn't] open His mouth. He is brought [like] a lamb to the slaughter & [like] sheep before [its] shearers [are mute,] so He [didn't] open His mouth.

He was taken from prison & from [justice.] And who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off, out of the land of the living: for the [sins] of my people, He was stricken.]

My heart was hot within Me, while I was [thinking,] the fire burned. Then I [spoke] with my [mouth,] Lord, [let] me know [my final] end & the [amount] of my days & what it is, [so] I may know how [weak] I am.

[Look,] You have made my days before You, [like the width of a hand] & my age is [like] nothing. [Truly,] every man, at his [very] best is [totally] vanity. Selah. Surely, every man [follows] in a vain [image.]

Surely, they are [agitated] in vain, [without result.] He [who] heaps up riches & doesn't know who will gather them [when he dies.] And now, Lord, what [do] I wait for? My hope is in You. Deliver me from all my [sins] & [don't] make me the [disgrace] of the foolish.

[Daniel 9:16 O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I [beg] You, let Your anger & Your fury be turned away from Your city, Jerusalem & Your holy mountain: because [of] our sins & for the iniquities of our [forefathers.] Jerusalem & Your people [have] become a [disgrace] to all [who] are [around] us.]

I was dumb & I [didn't] open my mouth, because You did it. [Matthew 26:62-64 And the high priest arose & said to Him, [Do] You answer nothing? What is it, [that] these witness against You? But Jesus held His peace.

And the high priest answered & said to Him, I [urge] You by the Living God, that You tell us whether You [are] the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said to him, You have said [so.] [Still,] I say to you, Here after, you shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power & coming in the clouds of heaven.]

Remove Your [striking ] away from me. I am consumed by the [blows] of Your hand. [Mark 15:18-20 And [they] began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they [struck] Him on the head with a reed & spit upon Him & bowing their knees, worshiped HIm. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him & put His own clothes on Him & led Him out to crucify Him.]

When you correct a man for [sin] with [scolding,] you [cause] his beauty [to be devoured,] like a moth. Surely, every man is vanity. Selah. O Lord, hear my prayer & listen to my [outcry.]

[Don't] hold your peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with You & a [temporary resident, like] all my [forefathers] were. O spare me, [so] I may recover strength, before I go [from here] & [I am] no [longer.]

Psalm 38:1-22 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

Psalm 38:1-22            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, [don't chastise] me in Your [anger.] Neither [bring me low] in Your hot displeasure. For Your arrows stick [tight within] me & Your hand presses me [down.]

There is no [stability] in my flesh, because of Your anger. Neither is there any rest [for] my bones, because of my sin. For my [sins overwhelm me, like] a heavy burden, [that is] too heavy for me [to carry.]

My wounds stink & are [disgusting,] because of my [foolish sins.] I am troubled & [terribly] bowed down. All day long, I go mourning. For my [body] is filled with a [repulsive] disease & there is no [stability] in my flesh. I am [weak] & [very] broken. I have [groaned, because] of the [unrest within] my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before You & all my [groans aren't hidden] from You. My heart pants & my strength fails me. The light of my eyes [has] also gone from me.

My friends & [those whom I love,] stand [unsympathetic, because of] my [afflictions] & my [relatives] stand [far away.] [Those who] also seek after my life, lay [traps] for me & [those who] seek to [harm] me, [plot & speak of deceitful plans] all day long.

[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 [so] they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him.]

But I, [like] a deaf man, [didn't] hear & I was [like] a [mute] man, [who doesn't] open his mouth. [Isaiah 53:6-7 All we, like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way & the Lord has laid on Him the [sin] of all of us.

He was oppressed & He was afflicted, yet he [didn't] open His mouth. He is brought [like] a lamb to the slaughter & [like] sheep before [its] shearers [are mute,] so He [didn't] open His mouth.]

I was [like] a man [who doesn't] hear & in whose mouth [there] are no [warnings.] O Lord, for in You, I hope: You will hear, O Lord, my God. For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slips.

They magnify themselves against me. For I am ready to [cease] & my sorrow is continually before me. I will be sorry for my sins: For I will declare [my] iniquities. But [my] enemies are [vigorous] & they are strong.

[Those who] wrongfully hate me, are multiplied. Also, [those who give] evil for good, are my adversaries, because I follow [what] is good.

[Romans 12:2 And [don't act in accordance] to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may [test] what is that good, acceptable & perfect will of God.] O Lord, [don't abandon] me. O my God, [don't be far from me. [Hurry] to help me, O Lord, my Salvation.

Psalm 37:1-40 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David.

Psalm 37:1-40            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

[Don't worry] yourself, because of [those who do evil.] Neither [should] you be envious against those who [work sinfully.] For they shall soon be cut down, like the grass & wither [like] the green herb. Trust in the Lord & do good; so you shall dwell in the land & truly, you shall be fed.

[Revelation 7:15-17 Therefore, [those who] are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple & He, [Who] sits on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall no [longer] hunger & thirst anymore.

Neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the [middle] of the throne, shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

Also, delight yourself in the Lord & He shall give you the desires of your heart. [Dedicate] your [path] to the Lord & also trust in Him & He shall [make it happen.] And He shall bring forth your righteousness [like] the light & your [justice like] noon.

Rest in the Lord & wait patiently for Him. [Don't worry] yourself, because of him who prospers in [what he does,] because of the man, who [causes] wicked [plots to happen.]

[Psalm 145:18-21 The Lord is [near] to all [those who] call upon Him & to all [who] call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of [those who] fear [respect] Him. Also, He will hear their cry & will save them. The Lord [saves] all [those who] love Him: But He will destroy all the wicked.]

Cease from anger & [abandon fury.] [Don't worry] yourself [at all, about those who] do evil. For [those who do evil] shall be cut off: but those [who] wait upon the Lord, shall inherit the earth. For yet, [in] a little while, the wicked shall not be. [Yes,] you shall [seriously] consider his place & it shall not [exist.]

[Revelation 22:12-15 And [look,] I come quickly & [My] reward with Me shall be, to give to every man according [to] his deeds. I am [the] Alpha & Omega, The Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those who] do His

Commandments, [so] that 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 & [invents] a lie.]

But the [humble] shall inherit the earth & shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. [Matthew 25:33-34 And He shall set the sheep on His right hand [side,] but the goats on the left. Then, the King shall say to them on His right hand, You come, [who] are blessed [by] My Father & inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.]

The wicked [plot] against the just & gnash upon them with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for He sees that his day is coming. [1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 For [you] know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes [like] a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace & safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them [like labor pains] upon a woman [delivering a] child & they shall not escape.]

The wicked have [pulled their] sword out & have bent their bow, to [throw] down the poor & needy & to [kill those who speak righteously.] Their sword shall enter into their own heart & their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many [who are] wicked.

For the [weapons] of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord [defends] the righteous. The Lord knows the days of the [righteous] & their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time & in the days of famine, they shall be satisfied.

[Isaiah 49:8-10 The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard you & I have helped you [during] the day of salvation. I will preserve You & give you for a covenant of the people to establish the earth, to cause the desolate heritages to [be] inherited.  [So,] that You may say to the prisoners, Go [out,]

[And] to those in darkness, [Show] yourselves. They shall feed in the [paths] & their pastures shall be in all high places. They shall not hunger, nor thirst. Neither shall the heat, nor the sun [strike] them. For He, [Who] has mercy on them, shall lead them, even by the springs of water, He shall guide them.]

But the wicked borrow & [don't repay.] But the righteous show mercy & give. For [they] shall be blessed [by] Him & shall inherit the earth. And [those who are] cursed [by] Him, shall be [destroyed.]

[2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack [related] to His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient to us,] not [wanting] that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But the Day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night. In which, the heavens shall pass away with a great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat & the earth also & the [things made] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.]

The steps of a good man are [directed] by the Lord & He delights in his [ways.] [Psalm 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep Your [mandates!] [Although] he [falls,] he shall not [totally] be cast down: for the Lord [supports] him with HIs hand. I have been young & now am old.

[Still,] I haven't seen the righteous [abandoned,] nor his [descendants] begging [for] bread. [They] are [always] merciful & lend. And his [descendants] are blessed. Depart from evil & do good & live forever more.

[Ezekiel 18:21-23 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he has committed & keep all My [mandates] & do [what] is lawful & right, he shall surely live & he shall not die.

All his [sins] he has committed, shall not be mentioned to him. He shall live in his righteousness that he has done. [Do] I have any pleasure at all, that the wicked should die? says the Lord God & not [instead] that he should return from his ways & live?]

For the Lord loves [justice] & [doesn't abandon] his saints. They are [safeguarded] forever. But the [descendants] of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land & [live in it there] forever. The mouth of the righteous [speaks] wisdom & his tongue talks of [justice.]

[Matthew 12:35-37 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good things. And an evil man, out of the evil treasure, brings forth evil things. But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account [for them on] the Day of Judgment. For by your words you shall be justified & by your words you shall be condemned.]

The Laws of his God [are] in his heart & none of his steps shall [slip.] The wicked watches the righteous & seeks to slay him. The Lord won't leave [the righteous] in [the] hand [of the wicked,] nor condemn [the righteous] when he is judged.

[2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of [troubles] & to reserve the unjust [until] the Day of Judgment to be punished.] Wait on the Lord & keep His [path]  & He shall exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

[Revelation 21:1-3 And I saw a new heaven & a new earth. For the 1st heaven & the 1st earth [had] passed away. And there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the Tabernacle of God is with men. And He will [live] with them & they shall be His people & God, Himself, shall be with them & be their God.]

I have seen the wicked in great power & spreading himself [out] like a green bay tree. [Still,] he passed away & [look] he [no longer] was. [Yes,] I sought him, but he couldn't be found. [Note] the perfect man & [look at] the [righteous:] for the end of that man is peace.

[Ephesians 2:12-14 But now, [during the] time, you were without Christ, being [foreigners] from the [region] of Israel & strangers from the covenants of promise, without God & having no hope in the world.

But now, [with faith] in Christ Jesus, you [who] were sometimes far [away,] are made mighty [through] the blood of Christ. For He, Who  is our peace, has made both one & has broken down the [middle] partition between us.]

But the [sinners] shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is [from] the Lord. He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them & deliver them. He shall deliver them from the wicked & save them, because they trust in Him.

[Daniel 12:2-3 And many of [those who] sleep in the [dirt] of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life & some to shame & everlasting contempt. And [those who are] wise, shall shine [like] the brightness of the [sky] & [those who] turn many to righteousness [shall shine] like the stars forever & ever.]

Psalm 36:1-12 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, to the chief Musician.

Psalm 36:1-12            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Before the eyes of the [sinful,] the wicked says, Within my heart, there is no fear [respect] of God. For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his [sin] is found to be [despicable.] The words [from] his mouth are [sinful & deceitful.]

He has [stopped being] wise & [doing] good. Upon his bed, he [plots wickedness] & he [puts] himself in a [path] that is not good & he [doesn't loathe] evil. [Romans 12:9 Let love be without [false purposes. Loathe what] is evil & cling to [what] is good.]

O Lord, Your mercy is in the heavens & Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the [tallest] mountains. Your judgments are [as big as the large] deep [waters.] O Lord, You [safeguard] man & [animals.]

O God, how excellent Your loving kindness is. Therefore, the children of men, put their trust under the [shade] of Your wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the [richness] of Your house. And You shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

[Revelation 22:1-2 And he showed me a pure river of [the] Water of Life, crystal clear, proceeding out of the [thrones of God & of the Lamb. In the [middle] of [its] street & on either side of the river, there was the Tree of Life, which [bore] 12 [types of fruit] & yielded her fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.]

For with You is the Fountain of Life. In Your light, we shall see the light. [Revelation 7:15-17 Therefore, [those who] are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple & He, [Who] sits on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall no [longer] hunger & thirst anymore.

Neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the [middle] of the throne shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

O continue [to give] Your loving kindness to [those who] know You  & [give] Your righteousness to [those with honest hearts.] [Don't] let the foot of pride come against me & [don't] let the hand of the wicked remove me. The workers of [sin have] fallen there. They are cast down & shall not be able to rise [up.]

[1 Peter 5:6-8 Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, [so] He may exalt you in due time. [Cast] all your [cares] upon Him: for He [cares] for you. Be sober & [watchful;] because your adversary, the devil [is like] a roaring lion, [that walks around,] seeking whom he may devour.]
