Psalm 51:1-19 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan, the prophet, came to him, after he had [been intimate with] Bathsheba.

Psalm 51:1-19            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, have mercy upon me & blot out my [sins,] according to Your loving kindness & the multitude of Your tender mercies. Thoroughly wash me from [my sinfulness] & cleanse me from my sin.

[1 John 1:7 But if we [follow] in the Light, [like] He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another & the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.]

For my sin is [always] before me & I acknowledge my [doing wrong.] [So,] You [alone might] be justified when You speak & be clear when You judge, I have sinned against You & done this evil in Your sight.

[See,] in sin, my mother [conceived] me & I was [shaped in sinfulness.] [Look, while hidden in the womb,] You shall make me know wisdom. You desire truth [within us.]

[Romans 5:14-15 [Still] death [ruled] from [the time of] Adam to Moses, even over [those who] hadn't [done similar sins to] Adam's [sins,] who [was in] the [image] of Him, [Who] was to come.

But the free gift is not [like the trespass.] For if many [are] dead [because of one, [how] much more [is] the grace of God & the gift [of] grace [from God,] which is by One Man, Jesus Christ & [this gift of grace] has abounded to many.]

[Cleanse] me with hyssop & I shall be clean. Wash me & I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy & gladness, [so] that the bones [that] You've [made helpless] may rejoice.

Blot out all [my sinfulness] & hide Your face from my sins. Create in me a clean heart, O God & renew a right Spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence & take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

[Luke 11:13 Then, being evil, if you know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to [those who] ask Him?]

Uphold me with Your free Spirit & restore to me the joy of Your Salvation. Then, I will teach transgressors Your ways & sinners shall be converted to You.

O God, deliver me from [those] [guilty of bloodshed.] God,You [are] my Salvation & my [mouth] shall sing aloud [about] Your righteousness. You, O Lord, open my lips & my mouth shall [declare] Your praise.

For You [don't] desire sacrifice; [or] else I would give it. You [don't] delight in burnt [offerings.] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a [subdued] & [repentant] heart. O God, You will not despise [these.]

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

In Your good pleasure, do good to Zion. [Rebuild] the walls of Jerusalem. Then, You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of [the righteous,] with burnt [offerings.] Then, whole [bulls] will be [offered] upon Your altar.

Psalm 50:1-23 Book# 2 of Psalms

A Psalm of Asaph.

Psalm 50:1-23            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

The mighty God & even the Lord, [have] spoken & called the earth from the [sunrise] to the [sunset.] [Genesis 1:3-5 And God said, Let there be light & there was light. And God saw the light & that it was good.

And God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day & the darkness he called Night. And the evening & the morning were the first day.]

God, the perfection of beauty, has shined out of Zion. [Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given. And the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His Name shall be called: Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

There shall be no end of the increase of His government & peace, upon the throne of David & upon His Kingdom. To [put] it [in] order & to establish it with judgment & with justice, from [now on] & forever & ever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will [accomplish] this.]

Our God shall come & shall not keep [silent.] A fire shall devour [in front of] Him & it shall be very tempestuous [around] Him. [Revelation 20:10 And the devil [who] deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone, where the beast & the false prophet are & shall be tormented day & night forever & ever.]

He shall call to the heavens from above & to the earth, [so] He may judge His people. Gather My saints together to Me. Those [who] have made a covenant [contract] with Me, [through] sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare His righteousness. For God, Himself is judge. Selah.

O My people, Hear & I will speak. O Israel, I will testify against you. I Am God; even Your God. I will not [reprimand] you for your sacrifices & your burnt offerings [that were] to have been before Me continually. I will [not accept any bull] out of your house, nor [male] goats out of your [pens.]

For every [animal] of the forest is Mine & the cattle upon a 1,000 hills. I know all the [birds] of the mountains & the wild [animals] of the field are Mine. If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you: for the world & [its] fullness [are] Mine. Will I eat the [meat] of bulls or drink the blood of goats?

Offer to God, [giving thanks] & pay your vows to the Most High. And call upon Me in the day of trouble & I will deliver you & you shall glorify Me. [Romans 10:9-13 That if you shall confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth & shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

For with the heart, man believes [that leads] to righteousness & with the mouth, confession is made [that leads] to Salvation. For the scripture says, [Whoever] believes [in] Him shall not be ashamed.

For there is no difference between the Jew & the Greek, [a.k.a. Gentile:] for the same Lord over all is rich unto all [who] call upon Him. For [whoever] shall call upon the Name of the Lord, shall be saved.]

But to the wicked, God says, What [right do] you have  to declare My [mandates,] or that you shall [speak about] My covenant [contract with] your mouth? [Since,] you [have] hated instruction & have [thrown] My words behind you.

[Romans 2:21 Therefore, you, [who teach] another, [why don't] you teach yourself? You [who preach] a man should not steal, [do] you [also] steal?] When you saw a thief, then you [went along] with him & you have been a [participant] with adulterers.

You [have delivered ] your mouth to evil & your tongue [fashions what is] deceit. You [sit & speak] against your brother. You slander your own mother's son. I kept [silent] at these things you have done. You thought that I was [totally like] yourself, but I will [repay] you & [hold you accountable] before your eyes.

[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 and [the] 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 [to invent & tells lies.]

Now, consider this, you [who] forget God, lest I tear you [into] pieces & there [are] none to deliver. [Whoever] offers praise, glorifies Me & to him [who puts] his conversation in [correct order,] I will [show] the Salvation of God.

Psalm 49:1-20 Book# 2 of Psalms

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Psalm 49:1-20            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

All you people, hear this. [Lean] your ear, all you inhabitants of the world. Both the [powerless & the powerful,] the rich & the poor together. My mouth shall speak of wisdom & the meditation of my heart, shall be of understanding.

I will [lean] my ear to a parable. On the harp, I will [disclose] my dark [sayings.] [Mark 4:10-12 And when He was alone, [those who were around] Him with the 12 asked Him [about] the parable. And He said to them, Unto you, it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God; but to them [who] are without [faith,] all these things are done in parables.

[So] that seeing they may see & not [realize] & hearing, they may hear & not understand; lest at any time they should be converted & their sins should be forgiven them.]

[Why] should I [be afraid, during] the evil days, when the [sinfulness around] my heels shall [surround] me? [2 Corinthians 1:14 [Like] you also have [partially understood] us, [so] we [join] your rejoicing, even [like] you also [will join in] ours, [on] the day the Lord Jesus comes.]

None of [those who] trust in their wealth & boast of the multitude of their riches; can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. (For redemption of the soul is [priceless] & [money] ceases [to have value] forever.)

[Matthew 16:26-27 For what is a man [benefited,] if he shall gain the whole world & lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? * For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father, with His Angels. And then He shall reward every man according to his [deeds.]

Should he [who has wealth] live forever & not see corruption? [Psalm 89:48 What man is he, [who] lives & shall not see death? Shall he deliver his [own] soul from the hand [that covers] the grave?]

For he sees that wise men die, [as well as] the fool. The [senseless] person [perishes] & [leaves] their wealth to others. Their [deepest] thought is, that their [households] shall continue forever & their places [where they dwell] [shall continue] to all generations. They [even] call their lands after their own names.

[Still,] being an [honorable] man [doesn't endure.] He is like the [animals] that perish. Their way [of doing] this, is their [foolishness.] Yet, their [descendants] approve [of what they say.] Selah. [Luke 12:18-20 And he said, I will do this. I will pull down my barns & build [larger ones,] where I may [store] all my fruits & [possessions.]

And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have [many possessions stored] up for many years. Take [it easy] & eat, drink & be merry. But God said to him, You fool. This night your soul shall be required of you. Then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?]

Like sheep, they are laid in the grave. Death shall feed on them & in the morning, the [righteous] shall have [power] over them & their beauty shall [rot away] from their dwelling in the grave.

[Revelation 2:26-27 And he [who] overcomes & [keeps doing] My [work,] until the end, I will give power to him over the nations & he shall rule them with a rod of iron, even [like] I have received from My Father.They shall be broken [into slivers like] the [clay] vessels of the potter.]

* But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave. For He shall receive me. Selah. [1 Timothy 3:16 And without [disputing] the mystery of godliness, God was [clearly visible] in the flesh, justified [through] the Spirit, seen [by] Angels & preached to the Gentiles, believed in [by] the world & received up into glory.]

[Don't] be afraid when one is made rich & when the glory of his house is increased. For when he dies, he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not [go down] after him.

[Although] while he lived, he blessed his [own]. soul & men will praise you when you do well [for] yourself. He shall go to the generation of his [forefathers] & they shall never see light. Man [who has] honor & [doesn't] understand, is like the [animals] who perish.

Psalm 48:1-14 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Song & Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Psalm 48:1-14            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

In the city of our God, Great is the Lord & greatly to be praised, in the mountain of His holiness.

[Psalm 66:4-6 All the earth shall worship You & shall sing to You. They shall sing to Your Name. Selah. Come & see the [miracles] of God. He is [terribly awesome] in [what] He does toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the flood on foot & there, we did rejoice in Him.]

Mount Zion, the city of the great King, [is] [beautifully situated,] on the sides of the north, the joy of the whole earth. [Psalm 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined.]

God is known in [Mount Zion's] palaces, [as] a refuge. For, [look,] the kings were assembled together & passed by [it] together. So, they marveled, [when] they saw it. They were troubled & [hurried] away. Fear took hold [of] them there, [like] the pain of a woman in [childbirth.]

[Exodus 15:13-18 You in Your mercy has led the people [out, whom] You have redeemed. You have guided them in Your strength to Your holy [residence.] The people shall hear & be afraid. Sorrow shall take hold of [Philistia's] inhabitants.

Then, the dukes of Edom shall be amazed. Trembling shall take hold of the mighty men of Moab. All [Canaan's] inhabitants shall melt away. Fear & [anxiety] shall fall upon them.

By the greatness of Your arm, they shall be as still as a [rock, until] the people pass over. O Lord, [until] the people pass over, [whom] You have purchased. You shall bring them in, O Lord, in the Sanctuary, which Your hands have established. The Lord shall [rule] forever & ever.]

You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. [Just] as we have heard, we have [also] seen in the city of the Lord of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish [the city] forever. Selah.

In the midst of Your temple, we have thought of Your loving kindness. Your right hand is full of righteousness. O God, according to Your Name, so is Your praise unto the ends of the earth.

[Malachi 1:11 From [sunrise] even to [sunset,] My Name shall be great among the Gentiles & in every place that incense shall be offered to My Name. A pure offering to My Name, shall be great among the heathen, says the Lord of Hosts.]

Let Mount Zion rejoice & let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of Your judgments. Walk [around] Zion & go [around] her & [count its] towers. [Remember] you well, her [castle walls.] Consider her palaces, [so] you may tell it to the following generation.

For this God, is our God forever & ever. He will be our guide, even to death. [Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil. For You are with me. Your rod & Your staff, they comfort me.]

Psalm 47:1-9 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Psalm 47:1-9            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O, all you people, clap your hands & shout to God with the voice of triumph. For the Lord Most High is [terribly awesome.] He is a great King over all the earth.

[Nehemiah 1:5 And I said, I [beg,] You, O Lord God of heaven, the great & [terribly awesome] God, [Who] keeps covenant [contracts] & mercy for [those who] love Him & [obey] His commandments.]

He shall [defeat] the people under us & the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the [excellence] of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] whom He loved. Selah. God [has] gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

[2 Samuel 6:15 So, David & all the house of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouting & with the sound of the trumpet.]

Sing praises to God, sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth. Sing [your] praises with understanding. [1 Timothy 6:14-15 That you [are to] keep this commandment, without spot & [without blame,] until the [appearance] of our Lord Jesus Christ:

[Who] in His [Own time,] He shall [make visible, God, Who] is the blessed & only [Ruler,] the King of kings & Lord of lords.]

God [rules] over the heathen. God sits upon the throne of His holiness. [Acts 10:43-45 All the prophets give witness to Him, that through His Name, [whoever] believes in Him shall receive [forgiveness] of sins.

While Peter [still spoke] these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all [those who] heard the Word. And [those who were circumcised, who] believed, were astonished, [that] as many [who] came with Peter, the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out on the Gentiles also.]

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted. [Psalm 33:20 Our soul waits for the Lord. He is our help & our shield.]

Psalm 46:1-11 Book#2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician for the son of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.

Psalm 46:1-11            Book#2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

God is our refuge & strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we won't [be afraid, even] though the earth [is] removed; though the mountains [are] carried into the midst of the sea; though [its] waters roar & [are] troubled, though the mountains shake with [their] swelling. Selah.

There is a river & [its] streams which shall make the city of the Most High God & the Holy Place of the tabernacles, glad. [Revelation 22:1-3 And he [showed] me a pure river of [the] Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne 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 fruits & yielded [its] fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse. But the [thrones] of God & of the Lamb shall be in it. And His servants shall serve Him.]

God is in the midst of her & she shall not be [removed.] God shall help her & [at daybreak.] The heathen [were enraged] & the kingdoms were [removed.] He uttered His voice & the earth melted.

[Joshua 24:11-14 And you went over [the] Jordan [River] & came to Jericho. And the men of Jericho fought against you & the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites & the Jebusites. And I delivered them into your hand.

And I sent the [hornets] before you, which [drove] them out from [in front of ] you. Even the 2 kings of the Amorites, but not with your sword, nor with your bow. And I have given you a land, which you didn't [work] for & cities, you [didn't] build & you [live] in them.

And you eat of [the] vineyards & [olive groves] you [didn't] plant.] Therefore, now fear [respect] the Lord & serve Him in sincerity & in truth. And put away the gods [that your [forefathers] served [before] the flood & in Egypt & serve the Lord.]

The Lord of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel] is our refuge. Selah. Come, [look at the miracles] of the Lord, what desolations He has made in the earth. He makes wars to [stop until] the end of the earth. He breaks the bow & cuts the spear [into pieces.] He burns the chariot in the fire.

[Isaiah 2:4-5 And He shall judge among the nations & shall [chastise] many people. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares & their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation & neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come & let us [follow] in the Light of the Lord.]

Be still & know I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen. [Ezekiel 39:7 So, I will make My Holy Name known in the midst of My people, Israel. And I won't let them [profane] My Holy Name any more. And the heathen shall know that I Am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.]

I will be exalted [on] the earth. The Lord of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psalm 45:1-17 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil [a.k.a. Maskil,] A Song of [Love.]

Psalm 45:1-17            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

My heart is [putting down in writing] [what is] a [virtuous] matter. My tongue is the pen of a [skillful] writer. I speak of things [I have expressed about] the king. You are [more fair] than the children of men. Therefore, God has blessed you forever & grace [has] poured into your lips.

[Strap up] your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory & your majesty. In your majesty, ride & [prosper], because of: truth, [humility] & righteousness.

And your right hand shall teach you terrible things. Your arrows are sharp [within] the heart of the king's enemies. [By this,] the people fall under you.

* O God, Your throne is forever & ever. The scepter of Your kingdom is a [righteous] scepter. [Psalm 93:2 Your throne [was] established of old. You are from everlasting.]

You love righteousness & hate wickedness. Therefore, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your [companions.] All your [clothing smells] of: myrrh, aloes & cassia, out of the ivory palaces, [which] have made you glad.

King's daughters were among your honorable women. [At] your right hand, the queen in [the] gold of Ophir [stood.]  [Pay attention] & [lean] your ear [to hear,] O daughter & consider [forgetting] your own people & your father's house.

[Ruth 1:16 And Ruth said, [Don't ask] me not to leave you, or to return from following after you. For [where] you [go,] I will go. And where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people & your God, [shall be] my God.]

So, the king shall greatly desire your beauty. For [God] is your Lord & you worship Him. And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift, even the rich people shall [seek] your favor.

The king's daughter is glorious within & her clothing is of [fashioned] gold. She shall be brought to the king in [clothing] of needlework. Her companions, the virgins, [who] follow her, shall be brought to you.

They shall be brought with gladness & rejoicing & they shall enter into the king's palace. Instead of your [forefathers,] shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth.

I will make your name remembered [through] all generations. Therefore, the people shall praise you forever & ever.
