Psalm 71:1-24 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

Psalm 71:1-24            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, I put my trust in You. Let me never be put to [shame.] [Psalm 25:2-3 O my God, I trust in You. Let me not be ashamed & [don't] let [my] enemies triumph over me. [Yes,] let none [who] wait on You be ashamed. Let [those] be ashamed [who sin] without cause.]

In Your righteousness, deliver me & [have] me escape. [Lean] Your ear to [hear] me & save me. Be You my strong [place to reside, that] I may continually [visit.]  You have given [the command] to save me, for You are my Rock & my Fortress.

O my God, deliver me out of the hand of the wicked & out of the hand of the unrighteous & cruel man. For You, Lord, are my hope, O God. From my youth, my trust [is in] You.

You [are] He, [Who] took me out of my mother's [stomach.] From the womb, I have been [upheld & supported] by You. Continually, my praise shall be of You. But You are my strong refuge. I am [like] a wonder to many. [Isaiah 8:18-19 [Look,] the children whom the Lord has given me & I are for signs & for wonders in Israel, from the Lord of Hosts, [Who] dwells in Zion.

And when they shall say to you, Seek to [those who] have familiar spirits & to wizards [who moan] & mutter. Shouldn't people seek their God? For the Living, [not] to the dead?]

All the day, let my mouth be filled with Your praise & with honor [for] You. [Don't abandon] me when my strength fails & [don't] cast me off in the time of old age.

For [my] enemies speak against me & [those who lie in] wait for my [life, take counsel together, saying, God has [abandoned] Him. [Pursue & capture] him, for there [are] none to deliver him.] [Matthew 26:3-4 Then the chief priests, scribes & elders of the people assembled together, to the palace of the high priest, who was called Ciaphas & consulted that they might take Jesus by [trickery] to kill Him.]

O God, [don't] be far from Me. O my God, [hurry] for My help. Let [those who] are [enemies] to My [life] be [confused & destroyed.] Let [those who] seek My [harm] be covered with [disgrace] & dishonor.

[Mark 15:30-32 Save Yourself & come down from the cross. Likewise, also. The chief priests, mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others. He can’t save Himself. Let Christ the King of Israel, [come down] now from the cross, [so] that we may see & believe. And [those who] were crucified with Him, [ridiculed] Him.]

But I will continually praise You & yet will hope more & more. My mouth shall [declare] Your [unlimited] righteousness & Your Salvation all day [long.] [Psalm 98:2-3 The Lord has made known His Salvation. He has openly [shown] His righteousness in the sight of the heathen.

He has remembered His mercy & truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the Salvation of our God.]

I will mention Your righteousness, only Yours. And I will go in the strength of the Lord God. You have taught me from my youth, O God & [up until now,] I have declared Your wondrous works. [Psalm 105:38-41 Egypt was glad when they departed:

For the fear of [the Israelites] fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering & fire to give light in the night. The people asked & He brought quails & satisfied them with bread [from] heaven. He opened the rock & waters gushed out & they ran in the dry places like a river.]

Now, when I'm old & also grayheaded, O God, [don't abandon] me; until I have [declared] Your strength to this generation & Your power to everyone [who] is to come. Very high is Your righteousness, O God, [Who] has also done great things.

O God, who is [similar] to You! [Psalm 35:10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is [similar] to You, [Who] delivers the poor from him, [who] is too strong for him. [Yes,] the poor & needy from him [who plunders] him?]

You, [Who] have [shown] Me [large & serious] troubles, shall [bring Me to life] again, from the depths of the earth. [Mark 16:6-7 *And he said to them, [Don’t be afraid:] You seek Jesus of Nazareth, [Who] was crucified. He is risen. He isn’t here. [See,] the place where they laid Him. *But go [on] your way & tell His disciples & Peter, that He goes before you into Galilee. There you shall see Him,  [like] He said to you.]

You shall comfort me on every side & increase my [significance.] I will also praise You, even Your Truth, with the [lyre,] O my God. I will sing to You with the harp, O You Holy One of Israel. [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 lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You & my soul, which You have redeemed. For [those are confused, who] seek My [harm,] for they are brought to shame & My [mouth] shall also talk of Your righteousness all day long.

Psalm 70:1-5 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician, to bring to remembrance.

Psalm 70:1-5            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, [hurry] to deliver Me. O Lord, [hurry] to help Me. Let [those] be ashamed & [bewildered, who] seek after My [life.] Let them be turned backward & confused, who] desire My [harm.]

[Matthew 26:14-16 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 [contracted] with him for 30 pieces of silver.  And from that time, he sought opportunity to betray Him.]

Let them be turned back for a [repayment for] their shame, [who] say, Aha, aha. [Mark 15:29-30 And [those who] passed by [angrily complained to] Him, wagging their heads & saying, Ah, You, [Who] destroy the temple & [rebuild] it in 3 days, Save Yourself & come down from the cross.]

Let those [who] seek You rejoice & be glad in You. And let such as love Your Salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. But I am poor & needy. O God, [hurry] to me. You are my help & my deliverer. O Lord, [don't linger.]

Psalm 69:1-36 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician upon Sho Shannim.

Psalm 69:1-36            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, save me: for the waters [have] come in [& threaten] my [life.] [Jonah 2:5 The waters [surrounded around] me, even to the soul. The [depths] closed [around] me & the [seaweed] were wrapped [around] my head.]

I sink in [the muddy depths,] where there is no standing. I [have] come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am [tired] of my crying. My throat is dried [out.] [My] eyes fail, while I wait for my God.

* [Those who] hate Me without a cause are more than the hairs of [My] head. [*John 15:25 But this has come to pass, [so] that the Word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated Me without a cause.]

[Those who want] to destroy Me, [mistakenly] being [My] enemies, are mighty. Then I restored, [what] I [didn't steal. [1 John 2:1-2 My little children, I will write these things to you, [so] you [don't] sin.

And if any man [sins,] we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous. And He is the [atonement] for our sins & not only for our's, but also for the sins of the whole world.]

O God, You know my foolishness & my sins aren't [hidden] from You. O Lord God of Hosts, [don']t let [those who] wait on You, be ashamed, [on account] of me. [Don't] let [those who] seek You be [disgraced] for my sake, O God of Israel. [Psalm 22:5 But I am a worm & no man; a [disgrace] of men & despised of the people.]

* Shame has covered My face, because I have [put up with ridicule] for Your sake. [*Matthew 27:42 He saved others, [but] He can't save Himself. If He [is] the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross & we will believe Him.]

* I [have] become a stranger to My brethren & an alien to My mother's children. [*John 7:5 For neither did His [brothers] believe in Him.]

*For the zeal of Your house has eaten Me up & the [criticism] of [those who disgraced] You, are fallen upon Me. [* John 2:13-17 And the Jews' Passover was at hand & Jesus went up to Jerusalem & found in the temple those [who] sold oxen, sheep & doves & the money changers sitting.

And when He had made a [whip] of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple & the sheep & oxen & poured out the changer's money & [threw over] the tables & said to [those who] sold doves, Take these things [from here & don't] make My Father's house, a house of merchandise. And His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of Your house has eaten Me up.]

When I wept & [cleansed] my soul with fasting, that [became] my [reprimand.] I also made sackcloth my garment & I became [an example] to them. [Those who] sit in the gate speak against me & I was a song [for] the drunkards.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, in [an] acceptable time. O God, in the multitude of Your mercy hear me, in the truth of Your Salvation. [Isaiah 49:8 *The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You & [on] the Day of Salvation, I have helped You.

And I will preserve You & give You for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause the desolate heritages [to be] inherited.]

Deliver me out of the [mud] & [don't] let me sink. Let me be delivered from [those who] hate me & out of deep waters. [Don't] let the [flooding waters] overflow me. Neither let the deep swallow me up & [don't] let the pit shut [its] mouth upon me.

[Psalm 40:1-2 I waited patiently for the Lord & He [leaned His ear] to me & heard my [out] cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit & out of [muddy] clay & [put] my feet upon a rock & established my goings.]

O Lord, hear me; for Your loving kindness is good. [Return] to me, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies. And [don't] hide Your face from Your servant; for I am in trouble. Hear me speedily. Draw near to my soul & redeem it. Deliver me, because of [my]  enemies.

You have known My [disgrace,] shame & dishonor. [My enemies] are all before Me. [Matthew 27:27-31 Then, the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall & gathered to Him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped Him & put a scarlet robe on Him.

And when they had [woven] a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head & a reed in His right hand. And they bowed [their knees] before Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And they spit upon Him & took the reed & [struck] Him on the head. And after they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him & put His own [clothing] on Him & led Him away to crucify Him.]

* [Disgrace] has broken My heart & I am full of heaviness. I looked for [someone] to take pity, but there [were] none & for comforters, but I found none. [* Mark 15:29-32 And [those who] passed by [expressed disapproval of] Him, wagging their heads & saying, Ah, You, [Who] destroys the temple & builds it in 3 days, save Yourself & come down from the cross.

Likewise also the chief priests, mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He's saved others & He can't save Himself. Let Christ the King of Israel now descend from the cross, [so] that we may see & believe. And [those who] were crucified with Him, [slandered] Him.]

* They also gave Me gall for My [food] & in My thirst, they gave Me vinegar to drink. [* John 19:28-30 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, [so] that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.

Now, there was [put] a vessel full of vinegar & they filled a sponge with vinegar & put it on hyssop & put it to His mouth. Therefore, when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed His head & gave up the ghost.]

Let their table become a snare before them & [what] should have been for their [well-being,] let it become a trap. Let their eyes become darkened, [so] they [can't] see & make their [torso] continually shake. Pour out Your indignation upon them & let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.

[Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out, without mixture into the cup of His indignation & he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels & in the presence of the Lamb.]

Let their habitation be desolate & let none [live] in their tents. [Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you [who kill] the prophets & stone [those who] are sent to you. How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen gathers her chickens under her wings & you would not!

[Look,] your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me [after this, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord.]

For they persecute Him, Whom you have [struck] & they [speak] to the grief of those Whom you have wounded. [Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows. Yet, we did [consider] Him [suffering, struck] & afflicted [by] God.

But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The [punishment] for our peace was upon Him & with His stripes, we are healed.]

Add iniquity to their [sin] & let them not come into Your righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the Book of the Living & not be written with the righteous. [Revelation 13:5-9 And there was given to him a mouth speaking [arrogant] things & blasphemies. And power was given to him to continue 42 months.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name & His tabernacle & [those who] dwell in heaven. And it was given to him to make war with the saints & to overcome them.

And power was given [to] him over all [families,] tongues & nations. And all [who] dwell upon the earth, shall worship him, whose names are not written, from the foundation of the world, in Book of Life of the Lamb slain.]

But I am poor & sorrowful. Let Your Salvation, O God, [put] me up on high. I will praise the Name of God with a song & will magnify Him with [giving thanks.] Also, this shall please the Lord better than an ox or [bull,] that has horns & [hooves.]

The humble shall see this & be glad. And [those who] seek God, your heart shall live. [Psalm 22:26 The [humble] shall eat & be satisfied. [Those who] seek the Lord, shall praise Him. Your heart shall live forever.]

For the Lord hears the poor & [doesn't] despise His prisoners. [Isaiah 61:1 *The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good [news] to the [humble.] He has sent Me to [bandage] up the broken hearted, to proclaim [freedom] to the captives & the opening of the prison to [those who] are bound.]

Let the heaven & earth, the seas & everything that moves [in] them, praise Him. For God will save Zion & will [rebuild] the cities of Judah, [so] that they may [live] there & have it [as a] possession. The [descendants] of His servants shall inherit it. And [those who] love His Name shall [live in there.]

Psalm 68:1-35 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm or Song of David, to the chief Musician.

Psalm 68:1-35            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Let God [rise up] & let His enemies be scattered. Also, let [those who] hate Him, flee before Him.

[Numbers 10:35 And it [happened,] when the Ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord & let Your enemies be scattered & let [those who] hate You, flee before You.]

[Like] smoke is driven away, [also] drive them away. [Like] wax melts, [in front of] the fire, so [in a similar manner,] let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God.

[Yes,] let them rejoice exceedingly. Sing to God. Sing praises to His Name. [Enthusiastically praise] Him, [Who] rides upon the heavens, by His Name, JAH, & rejoice before Him.

God is a Father of the fatherless & a judge of the widows, in His holy habitation. God [puts those who are alone, into] families. He brings out those [who] are bound with chains, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

[Isaiah 42:6-8 I, the Lord, have called You in Righteousness & will hold Your hand & keep You & give You for a covenant [contract] of the people, for a Light of the Gentiles; *To open the eyes [of] the blind, to bring out the prisoners from the prison & [those who] sit in darkness, out of the prison house.

I am the Lord. That is My Name. And I will not give My glory to another, neither My praise to [carved] images.]

O God, when You marched through the wilderness, You went [out] before Your people. Selah. The earth shook, also the heavens dropped [rain] at [God's] presence. Even Sinai, itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You, O God, [sent] plentiful rain, [with which] You [confirmed] Your inheritance, when it was weary. [Leviticus 26:1-4 You shall [not] make [any] idols, nor [carved images,] neither shall you rear up [for yourself] a standing image.

Neither shall you [put] up any image of stone in Your land, to bow down to it. For I Am the Lord your God. You shall keep My Sabbaths & [respect] My sanctuary. I Am the Lord.

If you [follow] in My [mandates] & keep My commandments & do them, Then, I will give you rain in [the appropriate time] & the land shall [produce its] increase & the trees of the field shall [produce its] fruit.]

Your congregation has [lived in there.] You, O God,have prepared [from] Your goodness, for the poor. The Lord gave the Word. [Large] was the company of those [who declared] it.

[1 John 1:1-3 That Which was from the beginning, Which we have heard, [Who] we have seen with our eyes, [Who] we have handled, of the Word of Life. (For the Life was [made visible] & we have seen it & bear witness & [show] to you that Eternal Life, which was with the Father & was [made apparent] to us.)

That [Whom] we have seen & heard, we declare to you, [so] you may also have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father & with His Son, Jesus Christ.]

Kings of armies did flee [hurriedly] & she [who waited] at home, divided the [plunder.] [Although] you have [laid down] among the [dirty] pots, [still] you shall be [like] the wings of a dove covered with silver & her feathers with yellow gold.

When the Almighty scattered the kings in it. It was white as snow in Salmon, [a.k.a. Mount Zalmon.] [Joshua 9:10-11 Therefore, Joshua went up from Gilgal all night & came to them suddenly.

And the Lord [confused] them before Israel & [killed] them with a [large] slaughter at Gibeon & chased them along the [road] that goes up to Beth Horon & [struck them down] to Azekah & to Makkedah.

And it [happened,] as they fled before Israel & were going down to Beth Horon, the Lord cast down [large] stones from heaven upon them, [all the way to] Azekah & they died. [There] were more [who] died with hailstones, than [those] whom the children [people] of Israel [struck down] with the sword.]

The [mountain] of God is [like Mount] Bashan. [Mount] Bashan is a high [mountain.] Why do you leap high [mountains?] This is the mountain [in] which God desires to [live] in. [Yes,] the Lord will [live] in it forever. God [has] 20,000 chariots & even 1,000’s of Angels.

The Lord is among them, [like] in Sinai, in the Holy Place. [Deuteronomy 33:2 And [Moses] said, The Lord came from Sinai & rose up from Seir to them. He shined forth from Mount Paran & He came with 10,000's of saints. From His right hand went a fiery Law for them.]

* You have ascended on high. You have led [those] captive [from] captivity. You have received gifts for men. [Yes,] for the rebellious also, [so] that the Lord God might dwell among them.

[John 3:13-16 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but He, [Who] came down from heaven, even the Son of Man, [Who] is in heaven. And [like] Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so, the Son of Man must be lifted up. That [whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God [didn't] bring His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.]

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our Salvation. Selah. And [those who escape] from death belong unto God, the Lord. He, [Who] is our God, is the God of Salvation.

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

But God shall wound the head of His enemies & the hairy scalp of [those who continue] on in his [sins.] [Deuteronomy 32:39-40 See now, that I, even I, Am He & there is no god with Me. I kill & I make alive. I wound & I heal. Neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand. For I lift up My hand to heaven & say, I live forever.]

The Lord said, I will bring from Bashan again, I will bring My people again from the depths of the sea. [Exodus 14:21-22 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea & the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night & made the sea dry land & the waters were divided.

And the children [people] of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground & the waters were a wall to them on their right hand & on their left.]

[So,] that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies & the tongue of your dogs in the same. [1 Kings 21:18-19 Arise & go down to meet Ahab, [Israel's] king, [who] is in Samaria. [Look,] he is in the vineyard of Naboth, [where] he has gone down to possess it.

And you shall [say] to him, saying, The Lord [says this, Have] you killed & also taken possession? And you shall [say] to him, saying, the Lord [says this,] In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.]

They have seen Your goings, O God, even the going of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. The singers went before, the players [of] instruments followed after. Among them were the [young ladies] playing with [tambourines.] [1 Chronicles 15:27-28 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen & also had upon him a linen ephod.

And all the Levites, [who carried] the Ark & the singers & Chenaniah, [the music director,] & all the singers. [Like this,] all Israel brought up the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord with shouting, with [the] sound of: cornets, trumpets & cymbals making noise with [lyres] & harps.]

You, bless God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the Fountain of Israel. [Revelation 21:6 And He said to me, It is done. I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give to him, who is [thirsty, from] the Fountain of the Water of Life freely.]

There is [small] Benjamin with [its] ruler, the princes of Judah & their council, the princes of Zebulun & the princes of Naphtali. [1 Samuel 9:21 And Saul answered & said, Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family, the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? [Then, why do] you speak to me?]

Your God has commanded your strength. God strengthen [what] You have [fashioned] for us. Because of Your temple [in] Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to You.

[1 Kings 10:10 And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, [a] very [large amount] of spices & precious stones. There [never] came [again] such abundance of spices as these, which the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.]

[Chastise] the company of [archers,] the multitude of bulls, with calves [from] the people, [until] everyone submits himself with pieces of silver. You scatter the people [who] delight in [the bloodshed of] war.

[Isaiah 1:11-15 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? [says] the Lord. I am full of the burnt offerings of rams & the fat of fed [animals] & I [don't] delight in the blood of [bulls,] lambs, or [male] goats.

Who has required this at your [hands, when you come to appear before Me, to [trample] My [courtyards?] No [longer] bring [worthless offerings.] Incense is [detestable] to Me. The calling of the assemblies [for] the: New Moons & Sabbaths, I can't [go along with.] It is [sinful,] even the solemn [meetings.]

My soul hates your New Moons & your 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 blood.]

Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God. [Isaiah 19:23-25 And the Lord shall [strike] Egypt & He shall [strike] & heal it. And they shall even return to the Lord & He shall be [petitioned on their behalf for] them & shall heal them.

[On] that day, there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria. And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt & the Egyptian into Assyria. And the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

[On] that day, Israel shall be the 3rd with Egypt & with Assyria, even a blessing in the [middle] of the land. Whom the Lord of Hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt, My people & Assyria, the work of My Hands & Israel [My] inheritance.]

Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth. O sing praises to the Lord. Selah. To Him, [Who] rides upon the [heaven] of heavens, [Who existed] of old, [look,] He [sends] out His voice & [it] is a mighty voice.

[Revelation 3:20-21 [Look,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man hears My voice & opens the door, I will come into him & will [eat] with him & he with Me. To him [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [on] My throne, even as I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [on] His throne.]

You [attribute] strength to God. His [excellence] is over Israel & His strength is in the clouds. O God, You [are terribly awesome from] Your Holy Places. He is the God of Israel, [Who] gives strength & power to His people. Blessed [is] God.
