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, [has] 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 [all around] Him. [Revelation 20:7-10 And when the 1,000 years are [over,] Satan shall be [loosened] out of his prison, & shall go out to deceive the nations [that] are in the 4 [corners] of the earth, Gog & Magog, the number of whom is [like] the sand of the sea, to gather them together to battle. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, & [surrounded around,] the [Lord's] saints, & the beloved city. And fire came down out of heaven from God, & devoured them. 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] that He may judge His people. Gather My saints together to Me. Those [who] by sacrifice, have made a covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] with Me. 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, or your burnt offerings, [that were] to have been before Me continually. [Isaiah 1:11-16 The Lord [says,] To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? I am full, [a.k.a. fed up with,] the burnt offerings of rams, & the fat of fed [animals.] And I [don't] delight in the blood of: [bulls,] lambs, or [male] goats. When you come to appear before Me, & [trample] My courts, who [has] required this at your hand? No [longer] bring vain [offerings.] Incense is an abomination to Me. I can't [endure] the: New Moons, Sabbaths, & the calling of assemblies. It is [sinful,] even the solemn meeting. My soul [hates:] your New Moons, & your appointed feasts. They are [troublesome] to Me. I am [tired of putting up with] them. And when you spread [out] your hands, I will hide [My] eyes from you. [Yes,] when you make many prayers, I won't hear. Your hands are full of [bloodshed.] Wash [yourselves,] & make [yourself] clean. Put away the evil of your [actions] from before [My] eyes, & [stop doing] [what is:] evil.]

I will [not accept any bull] out of your house, [a.k.a. family,] 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 should [speak about] My covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] [with] your mouth? [Since,] you [have] [hated] instruction, & [have] [thrown] My words behind you.

When you [saw] a thief, then you [went along] with him. [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?]

And [you] [have] been [a participant] with adulterers. You [have delivered] your mouth to evil, & your tongue [fashions] [what is:] deceit. [James 3:8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.]

You [sit & speak] against your brother. You [slander] your own mother's son. I kept [silent] [about] 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 works, [a.k.a. 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 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, & makes] [up] [lies.]

Now, consider this, you [who] forget God, lest I tear you [into] pieces, & there [are] none to deliver [you.] [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. All you inhabitants of the world, give [your] ear. Both [the: powerless & the powerful,] the rich & the poor, together. My mouth shall speak of wisdom; & the meditation of my heart, shall be [full] of understanding. [Daniel 2:20-23 Daniel answered, & said, Blessed [is] the Name of God forever, & ever: for wisdom & [strength] are His. And [the Lord God changes] the times, & the seasons. He [removes] kings, & [sets] up kings. He [gives] wisdom to the wise, &  knowledge to [those, who] know understanding. He [reveals] the deep & secret things; & He [knows] what is in the darkness, & the light dwells [within] Him. I thank You, & praise You, O You, God of my [forefathers,] Who [has] given me wisdom & [strength,] & now [has] made known to me what we desired [from] You. For You [have] now made known to us the king's matter, [a.k.a. hidden dream.]

I will [lean] My ear to a parable, & I will [disclose] My dark [sayings] upon the harp. [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.]

[For what reason] should I [be afraid, during] the evil days, when the [sinfulness around] My heels shall [surround around] Me? [Psalm 22:16-18 *For dogs have [surrounded] Me. The assembly of the wicked have [enclosed] Me. They pierced My hands, & My feet. *I may tell, [a.k.a. count,] all My bones. They look, & stare upon Me. *They part My garments among them, & cast lots upon My vesture.]

None of [those who] trust in their wealth & boast themselves [about] the multitude of their riches; can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. (For the redemption of their soul is precious, [a.k.a. 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 works, [a.k.a. 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. And 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.

*But God will redeem My soul from the power of the grave. [Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said to them, [a.k.a. His disciples,] [Truly,] I say to you, That you [who] have followed Me, in the regeneration, [a.k.a. spiritual restoration,] when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of His glory, you shall also sit upon 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.]

For He shall receive Me. Selah. [Ephesians 2:5-6 Even when we were dead [through] [our] sins, [God] [has] quickened, [a.k.a. given life to,] us, together with Christ, & (by grace you are saved;) & [has] raised us up together, & made us sit together in heavenly places [with] Christ Jesus.]

[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] that perish.

[Ecclesiastes 3:19-20 For [what befalls, a.k.a. happens,] [to] the sons of men, [happens] [to the] [animals.] Even one thing [happens,] [to] them. [Like] the one [dies, also] the other [dies.] [Yes,] they all have one, [a.k.a. the same,] breath; so that man [has] no [advantage over an animal;] for all is vanity. All go to one place, & all are [made from] the dust, & all [return] to dust again.]

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 works, [a.k.a. 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, & we [rejoiced] in Him there.]

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

God is known in [Mount Zion's] palaces, [as] a refuge. For, [look,] the kings were assembled, & passed by [it] together. [Revelation 6:13-14 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even [like] a fig tree [casts its unripened] figs, when [it] is shaken [from] a mighty wind. And the heaven departed [like] a scroll when it is rolled together. And every mountain & island were [removed] out of their places.]

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.]  [Revelation 6:15-17 And the kings of the earth, & the: great men, rich men, chief captains, [a.k.a. leaders,] the mighty men, & every man [in chains,] & every free man, hid themselves in the dens, [a.k.a. caves,] & in the rocks of the mountains, & 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 stand?]

You [break] the ships of Tarshish with an East wind. [2 Chronicles 20:35-37 And after this, Jehoshaphat, [Judah's] king, [joined] himself with Ahaziah, [Israel's] king, who did very wickedly. And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. And they made the ships in Ezion Gaber. Then, Eliezer, the son of Dodavah, [from] Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you [have] joined yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord [has] broken your works. And the ships were broken, [so] that they weren't able to go to Tarshish.]

[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, so is Your praise according to Your Name, 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 [all around] her, & [count its] towers. You [remember] well: her [castle walls,] & consider her palaces, [so] that you may tell it to the following generation. [Psalm 78:5-7 For [the Lord God] established a testimony in Jacob, & appointed a Law in Israel, [that] He commanded our [forefathers, [so] that they should make them known to their children. [So] that the generation to come, might know them, even the children [that] should be born, who should arise & declare them to their children. [So] that they might set, [a.k.a. focus,] their hope in God, & not forget the works, [a.k.a. miracles,] of God, but keep His commandments.]

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, [a.k.a. contracts,] & mercy for [those who] love Him, & [obey] His commandments.]

He shall [defeat] the people under us, & [the Lord God shall put:] the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the [excellence] of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] whom He loved. Selah. [Numbers 26:51-55 These 601,730 of the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, were numbered, [a.k.a. counted.] And the Lord [spoke] to Moses saying, The [lands] shall be divided to these, according to the number of names. You [shall] give to many, the [larger] inheritance, & [shall] give the [smaller] inheritance to few. His inheritance shall be given to everyone, according to those, [who] were [counted, by] him. [Still,] they shall inherit the land [that] shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their [forefathers.]

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 remission, [a.k.a. forgiveness,] of sins.

While Peter [still spoke] these Words, the gift of the Holy Ghost fell on all [those who] heard the Word. And [those who] believed [from] the circumcision, [a.k.a. those who feel: all who believe in Jesus Christ must be circumcised,] were astonished, [that] the gift of the Holy Ghost was also poured out on the Gentiles [to:] as many as came with Peter.]

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 33:20-21 Our soul [waits] for the Lord. He is our help & our shield. For our shall rejoice in [the Lord God,] because we have trusted in His Holy Name. ]
