About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible::

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

Psalm 63:1-11 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

Psalm 63:1-11            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O You are my God. I will seek you early, God: [for] my soul thirsts for You. My [skin] longs for You, [like] in a dry thirsty land, where no water is, [in order] to see Your power & Your glory. I have seen You in the sanctuary [like this.] 

[Psalm 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the Living God. When shall I come & appear before God?] 

My lips shall praise You, because Your loving kindness is better than life. I will bless You [like this,] while I live. I will lift up my hands in Your Name. My soul shall be satisfied, [like being satisfied] with marrow & [rich foods.] 

My mouth shall praise You with joyful lips: when [I'm] upon my bed & remember You & [think about] You [during] the night watches. Therefore, in the [shade] of Your wings, I will rejoice, because You have been my help.

My soul follows [close] after You. Your right hand [supports] me. But those [who] seek to destroy my [life,] shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword & they shall be a portion [of food] for foxes.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone [who] swears by Him shall [give] glory: but the mouth of [those who] speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalm 62:1-12 Book# 2 of Psalm

 

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

Psalm 62:1-12            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Truly my soul waits upon God. My Salvation comes from Him. He is my only Rock & my Salvation. He is my defense & I shall not be greatly [removed.] How long will you [plot] such [evil deeds] against a man? 

You shall be slain, all of you. You shall be [torn down] [like a leaning] wall & a [rickety] fence. They only consult [in order] to cast him down from his [high position.] They delight in lies. They bless with their [mouths,] but [secretly] curse [within themselves.] Selah.

You, my soul, wait only upon God; for my [hope] is from Him. He only is my Rock & my Salvation. He is my defence & I shall not be [removed.] My Salvation & my glory is in God: the Rock of my strength & my refuge is in God. 

Trust in Him at all times & you people, pour out your [hearts] before Him. God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low [status] are vanity & men of high [status] are a lie, to be laid [& weighed] in the balance. They are altogether lighter than vanity.

[Isaiah 46;5-6 To whom will you [compare] Me & make Me equal, that we may be [alike?] They lavish gold out of the bag & weigh silver in the balance & hire a goldsmith. And he makes a god & they fall down,[yes,] they worship [it.]

Don't] trust in oppression. And [don't] become vain in robbery. If riches increase, [don't] set your heart upon them. [I Timothy 6:10-11 For the love of money is the root of all evil. 

While some [have] coveted after [it,] they have [gone astray] from the faith & pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things & follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love & [humility.]

God has spoken once & I have heard this twice; that power belongs to God. To You, O Lord, also belongs mercy. For You [reward] to every man according to his work. 

[Revelation 22:12-15 And, [watch, I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give to every man according [t] 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 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 invents & tells lies.]

Psalm 61:1-8 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician upon Neginah.

Psalm 61:1-8            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, hear my [out] cry & [take care of] my prayer. I will cry [out] to you from the end of the earth, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to [You,] the Rock, [Who] is higher than I [am.] 

For You have been a shelter for me & a strong shelter from the enemy. I will [remain] in Your tabernacle forever. I will trust in the [shelter] of Your wings. Selah.

O God, for You have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those [who] fear [respect] Your Name. You will prolong the king's life & his years [for] many generations.

O prepare mercy & truth, which may preserve him & he shall [remain] before God forever. So, I will sing praise to Your Name forever, [so] that I may perform my vows daily.

Psalm 60:1-12 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician upon Shushan Eduth, MIchtam, [a.k.a. Miktam] of David, to teach; when he [fought] with Aram Nahraim & Aram Zobah, when Joab returned & [struck down] 12,000 [of] Edom in the Valley of Salt. 

Psalm 60:1-12           Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, You have been displeased & You have cast us off & have scattered us. O [return] Yourself to us again. You have made the earth tremble. You have broken it. Heal [its cracks;] for it shakes. 

[2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, [who] are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, pray & seek My face and [return] from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven & will forgive their sin & will heal their land.] 

You have [shown] Your people [difficult] things. You have made us drink the wine of astonishment. [Jeremiah 25:15-16 For the Lord God of Israel [said this] to me; 

Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand & cause all the nations to whom I send you, to drink it. And they shall drink & be moved [into captivity] & be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.] 

You have given a banner to [those who] fear [respect] You, [so] it may be displayed, because of the Truth. Selah. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.]

[So,] that Your beloved may be delivered. Save with Your right hand & hear me. God has spoken in His holiness & I will rejoice. I will divide Shechem & [measure] out the Valley of Succoth. 

[Joshua 1:6 Be strong & of good courage: for to this people shall you divide for an inheritance the land, which I [swore] to their [forefathers] to give them.]

Gilead is Mine & Manasseh is Mine. Also, Ephraim is also the strength of [My] head. Judah is My lawgiver. Moab is My washpot; I will cast out My shoe over Edom. You, Philistia, triumph, because of Me. Who will bring Me into the [fortified] city? 

Who will lead me into Edom? [Won't] you, O God, [Who] has cast us off? And You, O God, [Who] didn't go out with our armies? Judges 2:12-14 And they [abandoned] the Lord God of their [forefathers, Who] brought them out of the land of Egypt & followed other gods, of the gods of the people, [who] were [around] them & bowed themselves to them & provoked the Lord to anger.

And they [abandoned] the Lord & served Baal & Ashtaroth. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel & He delivered them into the hands of the spoilers, [who plundered] them. And He sold them into the hands of their enemies [around] them, so that they couldn’t stand before their enemies any longer.]

Give us help from trouble: for [what is worthless vanity] is the help of man. Through God, we shall [perform] valiantly. For it is He, [Who] shall [trample] down our enemies.

Psalm 59:1-17 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

Michtam, [a.k.a. Miktam] of David, to the chief Musician, Altaschith, when Saul sent & they watched the house to kill him. 

Psalm 59:1-17            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O my God, deliver Me from [My] enemies & defend Me from [those who] rise up against Me. Deliver Me from [those who work sinfully] & save Me from the [bloodthirsty] men. For, [look,] they lie in wait [to ambush] My [life.] The mighty are gathered against Me; not for My transgression, nor for My sin, O Lord. 

[Matthew 22:15-21 Then the Pharisees went & took counsel [on] how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent out their disciples & the Herodians to Him, saying, [Teacher,] we know that You are true & teach the way of God in truth.

Neither [do] You [show partiality] for any man. For You [don't] regard the [status] of men. Therefore, tell us, What [do] You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? But Jesus [realized] their wickedness & said, Why [do] you hypocrites tempt Me? [Show] Me the tribute money.

And they brought a penny to Him. And He said to them, Whose is this image & [inscription?] They said to Him, Caesar's. Then He said to them, [Give] to Caesar the things [that] are Caesar's & to God, the things that are God's.]

Awake to help me & [see.] They run & prepare themselves, without My fault.     [1 Peter 2:21-2 For even [this] you were called [to do:] Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow [in] His steps, Who didn’t sin, neither was their [deceit] found in His mouth. 

Who when He was [insulted, didn’t insult] again. When He suffered, He [didn’t] threaten; but committed Himself to [God, Who]  judges righteously.]

Therefore, You, O Lord God of Hosts, awake to visit all the heathen. God of Israel [don't] be merciful to any wicked [sinners.] Selah. They return at [night] & make a [howl] like a dog & go [around] the city. [See,] their lips are swords. With their mouths they [spew] out. They say, For who hears [us?] 

[Psalm 57:4 My soul is among the lions & I even lie among [those who] are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears & arrows & their tongues are a sharp sword.]

But You,O Lord, shall laugh at them. You shall have all the heathen [mocked.] [Proverbs 1:26 Also, I will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your [terror] comes.] I will wait on You, because of His strength: for God is my defense. the God of my mercy shall [safeguard] me.

God shall let me see my desire upon [my] enemies. [Don't kill] them, lest my people forget. Scatter them by Your power. O Lord, our Shield, bring them down. Let them even be taken in their pride, for the sin of their [mouths,] the words of their lips, cursing & [saying lies.] Consume them in [anger.]

Consume them & [make an end of] them & let them know that God rules Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] unto the ends of the earth. Selah. [Now,] let them return at [night] & [howl] like a dog & go [around] the city. Let them wander [back & forth] for [food] & [grumble, because] they [aren't] satisfied. 

But I will sing of Your power. [Yes,] I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning. For You have been my defense & refuge [on] the day of my trouble. I will sing to You, O my strength. For God is my defense & the God of my mercy.

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.

The wicked are [distanced] from the womb. 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 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 [& evaporate] 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 57:1-11 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam, [a.k.a. Miktam] of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.

Psalm 57:1-11            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Be merciful to me. O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in You. [Yes,] in the [shade] of Your wings, I will make my refuge, until these calamities [are past.] I will cry [out] to God Most High. 

To God, [Who accomplishes] all things for me. From heaven, He shall send & save me from the [disgrace] of him, [who] would [devour] me. Selah. God shall send [out] His mercy & His 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.]

My soul is among lions & I even lie among [those who] are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears & arrows. And their tongue [is] a sharp sword. You, O God, be exalted above the heavens. Let Your glory be above all the earth. 

They have prepared a net for my [feet.] My soul is bowed down. They have [dug] a pit [in front of] me, [which] they [have] fallen [into] the midst of it themselves. Selah. O God, my heart is [firmly focused] & I will sing & give praise. My heart is [steadfast.] 

[Psalm 108:5-6 Be You exalted, O God, above the heavens & Your glory above all the earth, [so] Your beloved may be delivered. Save with Your right hand & answer me.]

[Wake] up, my glory. Awake, [lyre] & harp. I will [awaken] myselfearly. O Lord, I will praise You among the people. I will sing to You among the nations. For Your mercy is [immense, up to] the heavens & Your Truth [is to] the clouds. 

Be You exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let Your glory be above all the earth. [Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honor & power. For You have created all things & they were created for Your pleasure.]

Psalm 56:1-13 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician upon Jonath Elem Rechokim, Michtam [a.ka. Miktam,] of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.

Psalm 56:1-13            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, be merciful to me: for man would [devour] me. He oppresses me & [fights] daily. [My] enemies would swallow me daily: for they [are] many [who] fight against me, O You Most High. I will trust in You, [whenever] I'm afraid. 

I will praise God in His Word. I have put my trust in God & I will not [be afraid of] what [man] can do to me. [Romans 8:31 Then, what shall we say [about] these things? If God [is] for us, who can be against us.] 

Everyday, they [twist] My words [around.] All their thoughts are against Me for evil. They gather themselves together & they hide themselves. They [watch] My steps, when they [lay in] wait for My [life.] 

[Matthew 22:15-21 Then, the Pharisees went & took counsel, how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent out their disciples with the Herodians to Him , saying, [Teacher,] we know that You are true & teach the way of God in truth. 

Neither [do] You show [partiality] for any man: for you don't regard the [status] of men. Therefore, tell us, What [do] You [think?] Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? But Jesus [realized] their wickedness I said, Why [do] you [tempt] Me, you hypocrites? 

Show me the tribute money. And they brought to Him a penny. And He said to them, Whose is this image & [inscription?] They said to Him, Caesar's. Then He said to them, Therefore, [give] to Caesar, the things [that] are Caesar's & to God, the things that are God's.]

Shall they escape [through sin?] O God, in Your anger, throw down the people. [Proverbs 11:5 The righteousness of the [blameless] shall direct his [path:] but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.]

You put my tears into Your bottle. You tell [of] my [journeys,] aren't they in Your book? When I cry [out] to You, then my enemies shall [return] back. I know this; for God is for me. 

I will praise God in His Word & I will praise the Lord in His Word. I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid [of] what man can do to me. O God, I will [give] praises to You, [for] Your vows are upon me. For You have delivered my soul from death.

Won't You deliver my feet from falling, [so] that I may walk before God in the light of the living? [Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my Light & my Salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of My life, of whom shall I be afraid?]
