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 [food] for the foxes.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone [who] swears by Him shall [give] glory: for 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?

All of you shall be [destroyed.] You shall be [torn down] [like a crooked] 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. And 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 40:17-19 All nations before Him are [like] nothing & are [considered] to Him less than nothing & [worthless] vanity. To whom, then will you [regard as similar to] God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him? The workman melts an [engraved] image & a goldsmith spreads it over with gold & [molds] silver chains.]

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 this one & twice I have heard this; 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 as his work shall be. 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 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? 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 soul. The mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, or 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.]  Without my fault, they run & prepare themselves. [2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Then, now we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did [urge] you [through] us.

We pray [for] you [on] Christ's [behalf, so] you [are] reconciled to God. For [God] has made Him to be [the atonement of] sin for us, [Who] knew no sin, [so] that we might be made the righteousness of God [through] Him.]

Therefore, 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.]

O Lord, but You shall laugh at them. You shall [mock at] all the heathen. [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. My God of 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 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 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. [Yet,] 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 [steadfast] & I will sing & give praise.

[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] you early myself. 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.

O be You exalted, 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 [devour] 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] I may walk before God in the light of the living? [Psalm 116:8-9 For You have delivered: my soul from death, my eyes from tears & my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.]
