Psalm 106:1-48            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O give thanks to the Lord & praise you the Lord. For He is God & His mercy endures forever. [Jeremiah 33:11-12 The [sound] of joy & gladness & the voice of the bridegroom & the bride. [Their] voices shall say, Praise the Lord of Hosts: for the Lord is good & His mercy endures forever. And of [those] shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the [Lord's] house.

For I will cause [those] of the land [held in] captivity to return, as at the [beginning,] says the Lord. The Lord of Hosts [says this;] In this place & in all [its] cities, which [are] desolate, without man & without [animals,] shall again be a habitation [for] shepherds [having] their sheep lie down.]

Who can [express] the mighty acts of the Lord? [Genesis 12:17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh & his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, [a.k.a. Sarah, the wife of] Abram, [a.k.a. Abraham.]

Who can [declare] all His praise? Blessed are [those who] keep [justice] & he [who] does [what is righteous] at all times. Remember me, O Lord, with the favor that You [delivered] to Your people.

O visit me with Your Salvation, [so] that I may see the good of Your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation & that I may [glorify] with Your inheritance. [Psalm 119:132 [Lord,] look upon me & be merciful to me, [like] You used to do to those [who] love Your Name.]

We have sinned with our [forefathers] & have committed [sins] & have done wickedly. [Exodus 20:4-6 Thou shall not make [for yourselves] any [carved] image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth [below,] or that is in the water under the earth.

You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a Jealous God, visiting the [sin] of the children [people until] the 3rd & 4th generation of [those who] hate Me. And [showing] mercy to 1,000's of [those who] love Me.]

Our [forefathers didn't understand] Your wonders in Egypt. They [didn't remember] the multitude of Your mercies; but [provoked] Him at the sea, even at the Red Sea. [Exodus 14:10-12 And when Pharaoh drew [near,] the children [people] of Israel lifted up their eyes & [saw] the Egyptians marched after them.

And they were [very] afraid & the children [people] of Israel cried out to the Lord. And they said to Moses, Have you taken us away to die in the wilderness, because there were no graves in Egypt?

[For what reason,] have you dealt [like this] with us, to carry us [forward] out of Egypt? [Didn' we tell you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, [so] that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.]

[Still,] He saved them for His Name's sake, [so] He might make His mighty power known. [Exodus 9:14-16 For I will at this time, send all My plagues upon your heart & upon your servants & your people; [so] that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.

For now, I will stretch out My hand, [so] that I will [strike] you & your people with pestilence & you shall be cut off from the earth. And [indeed,] for this very [reason,] I have raised you up, [in order] to show you My power & that My Name may be declared throughout the earth.]

Also, He rebuked the Red Sea & it was dried up: so He led them through the depths, [like] through the wilderness. [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 [Red] Sea upon the dry ground & the waters were a wall to them on their right hand & on their left.]

And He saved them from the hand of him, [who] hated them & redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. And the waters covered their enemies. There wasn't one of them left. Then, they believed His Words & they sang His praise.

[Exodus 14:30-31 [Like this,] the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians & Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. And Israel saw that great work [that] the Lord did upon the Egyptians & the people feared [respected] the Lord & believed the Lord & His servant, Moses.]

They soon [forgot] His works & they [didn't wait] for His [advice;] but exceedingly lusted in the wilderness & [tested] God in the desert. And He gave them their request; but sent [emptiness] into their [souls.]

[Numbers 11:31 -32 And there a wind went [out] from the Lord & brought quails from the sea & let them fall by the camp, [like] it were a day's journey on [every] side [around] the camp & [like] it [was] 2 cubits high upon the [surface] of the earth.

And the people stood up all that day & night & they gathered the quails. He [who] gathered the least, gathered 10 homers & they spread them all [around] for themselves [around] the camp.]

Also, they envied Moses in the camp & Aaron, the [Lord's] saint. [Numbers 16:2-3 And they rose up against Moses, with [some] of the children [people] of Israel & 250 princes [from] the assembly, famous men of [distinction] in the congregation.

And they gathered themselves together against Moses & Aaron & said to them, You take too much upon  [yourselves, since] all the congregation are holy, everyone of them. [For what reason,] then [do] you lift yourselves above the [Lord's] congregation?]

The earth opened & swallowed up Dathan & covered the company of Abiram. And the fire was kindled in their company & the flame burned up the wicked. They made a calf in Horeb & worshiped the [molded] image.

[Exodus 32:3-5 And all the people [broke] off the golden earrings in their ears & brought them to Aaron. And he received them [from] their hand & fashioned it with an [engraving] tool, after he had made it a [molded] calf.

And they said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made [a] proclamation & said, Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord.]

[Like this,] they changed their glory into the [shape] of an ox that eats grass. [Jeremiah 1:16 And I will utter My judgments against them [about] all their wickedness, [those] who have [abandoned] Me & have burned incense to other gods & worshiped the works [made] of their own hands.]

They [forgot] God, their Savior, [Who] had done great things in Egypt: wondrous works in the land of Ham & [terribly awesome] things by the Red Sea. Therefore, He said that He would destroy them [if] Moses, His chosen, hadn't stood [in front of] Him in the [torn relationship,] to turn away His [fury,] lest He should destroy them.

[Yes,] they despised the pleasant land & they [didn't] believe His Word, but [grumbled] in their tents & [didn't pay attention] to the voice of the Lord. [Numbers 14:2-3 And all the children [people] of Israel [grumbled] against Moses & Aaron.

And the whole congregation said to them, [We wanted] God, that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would [rather] God, that we had died in this wilderness! And [why] has the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, [so] that our wives & our children [are] prey? [Wouldn't] it not [be] better for us to return to Egypt?]

Therefore, He lifted up His hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness & to also overthrow their [descendants] among the nations & to scatter them in the lands. They also joined themselves to Baal Peor & ate the sacrifices of the dead.

[Numbers 25:2-3 And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods & the people [ate] & bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined [itself] to Baal Peor & the anger of the Lord [grew] against Israel.]

[By this,] they provoked Him to anger with their inventions & the plague [broke out] upon them. Then, Phinehas stood up & [delivered] judgment & so the plague was [stopped.] And that was [considered for Phinehas as] righteousness [for] all generations forever more.

They also angered Him at the waters of strife, so that it went [poorly for] Moses for their sakes; because they provoked [Moses'] spirit, so that he [spoke impulsively] with his [mouth.]

[Numbers 20:10-12 And Moses & Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock & he said to them, Hear now, you rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand & he [struck] the rock twice with his rod & the water came out abundantly & the congregation & their [animals] drank.

And the Lord [spoke] to Moses & Aaron, Because you [didn't] believe Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel. Therefore, you shall not bring this congregation into the land [that] I have promised them.]

They didn't destroy the nations, [about] whom the Lord commanded them. [Judges 1:21 And the children [people] of Benjamin didn't drive out the Jebusites, [who] inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites [live] with the children [people] of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.]

But were [mixed] among the heathen & learned their works. And they served their idols, which were a snare to them. [Yes,] they sacrificed their sons & their daughters to [demons] & shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons & daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.

And the land was polluted with [bloodshed.] They were defiled [like this] with their own works & went [like unfaithful harlots] with their own inventions.

[Isaiah 45:20 Assemble yourselves & come. Draw near together, you [who have] escaped [from] the nations. They have no knowledge, [who put] up the wood of their [carved] image & pray to a god that cannot save.]

Therefore, the [fury] of the Lord [grew] against His people, [in that] He [loathed] His own inheritance. And He gave them into the hand of the heathen. [Judges 2:14-15 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 that were [around] them. And bowed themselves to them & provoked the Lord to anger. And they [abandoned] the Lord & served Baal & Ashtaroth.]

And [those who] hated them, ruled over them. Also, their enemies oppressed them & they were brought under [the control of] their hand. Many times, He [delivered] them; but they provoked Him with their [advice] & were brought low for their [sins.]

[Judges 2:16-17 [However,] the Lord raised up judges, [who] delivered them out of the hand of those who [plundered] them. And [still] they wouldn't [pay attention] to their judges, but went [like an unfaithful harlot] after other gods & bowed themselves to them. They turned quickly [from] the [path] their [forefathers] walked, [of] obeying the commandments of the Lord, but they didn't [do] so.]

[Still,] when He heard their [out] cry, He [paid attention to] their affliction. [Judges 3:9 And when the children [people] of Israel cried [out] to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer [for] the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel, [Kenaz's] son, Caleb's younger brother.]

And He remembered His covenant [contract] for them & [withdrew,] according to the multitude of His mercies. [Judges 2:18 And when the Lord raised up judges [for] them, then the Lord was with the judge & delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For it [sorrowed] the Lord, because of their groanings, [because of those who] oppressed them & [harassed] them.]

He also made them to be pitied [by] all those [who] carried them [away as] captives. [2 Chronicles 30:9 For if you [return] again to the Lord, your brethren & your children shall find compassion before [those who] lead them [away] captive. So, that they shall come again into this land: for the Lord your God is gracious & merciful & will not turn His face away from you, if you return to Him.]

O Lord our God, Save us & gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks to Your Holy Name & to triumph in Your praise. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise you the Lord.

Psalm 105:1-45 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 105:1-45            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Give thanks to the Lord & call upon His Name. Make known His deeds among the people. [Psalm 33:6-8 By the Word of the Lord, the heavens were made & all the [stars] of them, by the breath of His mouth.

He gathered the waters of the sea together [like a] heap. He lay up the [deep waters] in storehouses. Let all the earth fear [respect] the Lord & let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.]

Sing unto Him & sing psalms to Him. Talk of all His wondrous works & [glorify] His Holy Name. Let the hearts of [those who] seek the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord & His strength. Seek His face [for] evermore. Remember His marvelous works that He's done & His wonders & judgments [from] His mouth.

O you [descendants] of Abraham, His servant & you children [people] of Jacob [a.k.a. Israel,] His chosen. He is the Lord our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

He has remembered His covenant [contract] forever. The Word [that] He commanded to 1,000 generations. [This] covenant He made with Abraham & His oath to Isaac. [Galatians 3:16-18 Now, to Abraham & his seed, the promises were made. He [didn't] say, And to the seeds, [like] of many, but as of One.

And to your seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before [from] God, in Christ, the Law which was 430 years [later,] can't [make it void or ineffective.] For if the inheritance [is] of the Law, it is no [longer] of promise, but God gave it to Abraham by promise.]

And [God] confirmed the same to Jacob for a Law & to Israel for an everlasting covenant: saying, Unto you, I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.

[Genesis 15:18 [On] the same day, the Lord made a covenant with Abram, [a.k.a. Abraham,] saying, Unto your seed, I have given this land, from the river of Egypt, to the great Euphrates River!]

When they were [just] a few men in number; [yes,] very few, & strangers in it. [Deuteronomy 7:7-9 The Lord didn't [put] His love upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any [other] people.

For you [had] the fewest of all people: but because the Lord loved you & because He would keep the oath [that] He had sworn to your [forefathers.] [That's why] the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand & redeemed you out of the house of bond men, from [under] the hand of Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king.

Therefore, know that the Lord your God, He Is God, the faithful God, [Who] keeps covenant & mercy with [those who] love Him & keep His commandments to a 1,000 generations.]

When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; He [allowed] no man to do them wrong. [Yes,] He [reprimanded] kings, for their sakes, saying, [Don't] touch [My] anointed & do My prophets [any] harm. [Genesis 12:17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh & his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, [a.k.a. Sarah,] Abraham's wife.]

[Additionally,] He called for a famine upon the land & He [ceased] the whole [supply] of bread. He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: whose feet they hurt with [shackles] & he was [chained] in iron. Until the time that His Word came. The Word of the Lord [tested] him.

[Genesis 41:25-27 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. God has [shown] Pharaoh what He is about to do. The 7 good [cows] are 7 years & the 7 good ears [of corn,] are 7 years.

The dream is one. And the seven thin & [scrawny cows] that came up after them are 7 years. And the 7 empty ears blasted with the east wind, shall be 7 years of famine.]

The king, even the ruler of the people, sent & [released] him & let him go free. [Pharaoh] made [Joseph] lord of [Pharaoh's] house & ruler of all his [possessions,] to [have control over Pharaoh's] princes & to teach his [elders] wisdom.

[Genesis 41:53-55 And the 7 [plentiful] years, that was in the land of Egypt, ended. And the 7 years of [famine came, like] Joseph had said & the [famine] was in all lands; [but] in all the land of Egypt, there was bread.

And when all the land of Egypt was [starving,] the people cried [out] to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph & do what he says to you.]

Israel, [a.k.a. Jacob,] also came into Egypt & Jacob [stayed] in the land of Ham. And [the Lord God] increased His people greatly & made them stronger than their enemies. He turned their heart to hate His people & to deal with His servants [shrewdly.]

[Exodus 1:12-14 But the more they afflicted [the Israelites,] the more they multiplied & grew. And [the Egyptians] were grieved, because of the children [people] of Israel. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor & they made their lives bitter, with hard bondage, in mortar, brick & all [types] of service in the field. All the service they made them [do,] was with rigor.]

He sent Moses, His servant & Aaron, whom He had chosen. They [declared] His signs among them & wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness & made it dark & they [didn’t] rebel against His Word. He turned their waters into blood & [killed] their fish.

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance & in their [king's rooms.] He [spoke] & there came [various] sorts of flies & lice in all their coasts. He gave them hail for rain & flaming fire in their land. He [struck] their vines & also their fig trees & [broke] the trees of their coasts.

He [spoke] & the locusts & caterpillars came without number & [ate] up all the [vegetation] in their land & devoured the [produce] of their ground. He also [struck] all the firstborn in their land, the [best] of all their strength.

He also brought them [out] with silver & gold & there wasn't [any who were] feeble [people] among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they [left:] for the fear of them fell upon [the Egyptians.] He spread a cloud for a covering & fire to give light in the night.

The people asked & He brought quails & satisfied them with the bread of heaven, [a.k.a. manna.] He opened the rock & the waters gushed out & they ran in the dry places like a river. For He remembered His holy promise & Abraham, His servant. And He brought [out] His people with joy & His chosen with gladness & gave them the lands of the heathen & they inherited the labor of the people.

[Genesis 15:18-21 [On] the same day, the Lord made a covenant [contract] with Abram, [a.k.a. Abraham,] saying, Unto your [descendants] I have given this land, from the [Brook] of Egypt [all the way] to the great Euphrates River: the [land of the:] Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites & also the Hittites, the Perizzites & the Rephaims & the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites & the Jebusites.]  [So,] that they might observe His [mandates] & keep His Laws. Praise, you the Lord.

Psalm 104:1-35 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 104:1-35            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, You are very great. You are clothed with honor & majesty. Who covered yourself with Light [like] with a garment. Who stretched out the heavens like a curtain.

[John 1:9-12 That was the true Light, [Who enlightens] every man, [Who] comes into the world. He was in the world & the world was made by Him & the world [didn't] know Him.

* He came unto His own & His own [didn't] receive Him. But as many as received Him, He gave power to them to become the sons of God, even to [those who] believe [in] His Name.]

Who lays the beams of His [rooms] in the waters. Who makes the clouds His chariot. Who walks upon the wings of the wind. [Amos 9:6 It is He, [Who] builds His [stairs to the different] stories in heaven & has [established] His troop [of followers on] the earth. He, [Who] calls the waters of the sea & pours them out upon the [surface] of the earth. The Lord is His Name.]

Who makes His Angels, Spirits & His ministers, a flaming fire. [Acts 2:2-4 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven [like] of a rushing, mighty wind. And it filled all the house where they were sitting.

And there appeared to them cloven tongues like as of fire & sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit] & began to speak with other [languages] as the Spirit gave them utterance.]

Who laid the foundations of the earth, [so] that it should not be removed forever. You covered it with the deep, [like] with a garment. The waters stood above the mountains.

[Genesis 1:9-10 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place & let the dry land appear & it was so. And God called the dry land, Earth & the gathering together of the waters, He called Seas & God saw that it was good.]

At Your [scolding] [the waters] fled & at the [sound] of Your thunder, they [hurried] away. They go up by the mountains & they go down by the valleys into the place [that] You have [created] for them. You have [put a boundary] that they may not pass over, [so] that they [don't return] again to cover the earth.

[Genesis 9:11-13 And I will establish My covenant [contract] with You. Neither shall all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of a flood & neither shall there be a flood any more to destroy the earth.

And God said, This is the [sign] of the covenant, which I make between Me & you & every living creature that is with you, for [future] generations. I do [put] My [rainbow] in the cloud & it shall be a [sign] of a covenant between Me & the earth.]

He sends the [rivers] into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to every [animal] of the field & the wild [donkey's] quench their thirst. By [these rivers,] the [birds] of the heaven, which sing, among the branches, have their habitation.

He waters the hills from His [rooms] & the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works. He causes the grass to grow for the cattle & the herb for the service of man, [so] that he may bring forth food out of the earth.

And wine that makes the heart of man glad & oil to make his face shine & bread that strengthens a man's heart. The trees of the Lord are full of sap. He has planted the cedars of Lebanon, where the birds make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats & the rocks for the [rock badgers.] He appointed the moon for seasons & the sun knows [its] going down. [Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night. And let them be for signs & for seasons & for days & for years.]

You make darkness & it is night, [in which] all the [animals] of the forest do creep [out.] The young lions roar after their prey & they seek their meat from God. The sun arises & they gather themselves together & lay [themselves] down in their dens.

Man goes [out] to his work, [for him] to labor until the evening. O Lord, how [many] Your works are! You have made them all in wisdom. The earth is full of Your riches. So, is this [immense] & wide sea, [in which] are [numerous] creeping things, both small & [large creatures.]

[Psalm 40:5 O Lord my God, many are Your wonderful works, which You have done & Your thoughts which are [toward] us. They can't be [calculated] up in order [to give credit] to You. If I would speak of them & declare [them,] they are more than can be [counted.]

The ships go there, [where] Leviathan is, whom You [have] made to play [in there.] All these wait upon You, [so] that You may give them their [food] in due season. They gather [what] You give them.

You open Your hand & they are filled with good [things.] You hide Your face & they are troubled. You take away their breath & they die & they return to [the dirt.] You sent [out] Your Spirit & they are created. And You renew the [surface] of the earth.

The glory of the Lord shall endure forever. The Lord shall rejoice in His works. [Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that He had made & [saw that] it was very good. And the evening & the morning were the 6th day.]

He looks [upon] the earth & it trembles. He touches the hills & they smoke. [Habakkuk 3:10-13 The mountains saw You & they trembled. The overflowing [waters] passed by & the deep [waters] uttered [its] voice & lifted up [its] hands on high.

The sun & the moon stood still in their [place:] at the [lightning] of Your arrows [as] they went & at the shining of Your glittering spear. You [marched] through the land in indignation. You did thresh the heathen in anger.

You went [out] for [the] Salvation of Your people, even for the Salvation [of] Your anointed. You wounded the head [from] the house of the wicked, by [exposing] the [foundations] even [up] to the neck. Selah.]

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God, while [I'm alive.] My [thoughts] of Him shall be sweet. I will be glad in the Lord. Let the sinners be [destroyed] out of the earth & let the wicked no [longer exist.] Bless you the Lord, O my soul. Praise you the Lord.
