    Psalms Psalm

    Cultivate - PSALMS PSALM 126: We now come to the seventh of the "Songs of Ascent," a lovely group of Psalms that God's people would sing and pray together as they journeyed up to Jerusalem. Here in this Psalm they are praying for the day when the Lord would "restore the fortunes" of God's people (vs.1,4). 126 is a prayer for spiritual revival and reawakening. The first half is all happiness and joy, remembering how God answered this prayer once. But now that's just a memory... like a dream. They need to be renewed again. So they call out to God once more: transform, restore, deliver us again. Don't you think this is a prayer that God's people could stand to sing and pray today? Pray it this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. God is here inviting such prayer; he's even putting the very words in our mouths. PSALM 127: This is now the eighth of the "Songs of Ascent," which God's people would sing on their procession up to the temple. We've seen that Zion / Jerusalem / The House of the Lord are all common themes in these Psalms. But the "house" that Psalm 127 refers to (in v.1) is that of a dwelling for a family. 127 speaks plainly and clearly to our anxiety-ridden thirst for success. How can anything be strong or successful or sufficient or secure... if it does not come from the Lord? Without the blessing of the Lord, our lives will come to nothing.

  • Leaders Notes

    Leaders Notes

    LEADERS NOTES Introductory Notes “The Psalms were the divinely inspired hymnbook for the public worship of God in ancient Israel (1 Chronicles 16:8-36). Because Psalms were not simply read, but sung, they penetrated the minds and imaginations of the people as only music can do. They so saturated the heart and imagination of the average person that when Jesus entered Jerusalem it was only natural that the crowd would spontaneously greet him by reciting a line from a Psalm (Mark 11:9; Psalm 118:26)… All theologians and leaders of the church have believed that the Psalms should be used and reused in every Christian’s daily private approach to God and in public worship. We are not simply to read the psalms; we are to be immersed in them so that they profoundly shape how we relate to God. The psalms are the divinely ordained way to learn devotion to our God… [The psalms] are written to be prayed, recited, and sung – to be done, not merely to be read. Theologian David Wenham concludes that using them repeatedly is a ‘performative act’ that ‘alters one’s relationship [with God] in a way mere listening does not...’ The psalms lead us to do what the psalmists do – to commit ourselves to God through pledges and promises, to depend on God through petition and expressions of acceptance, to seek comfort in God through lament and complaint, to find mercy from God through confession and repentance, to gain new wisdom ans perspective from God through meditation, remembrance, and reflection. The psalms help us to see God – God not as we wish or hope him to be but as he actually reveals himself.

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of McMaster Divinity College in patiial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Theological Studies McMaster Divinity College Hamilton, Ontario 2009 Master of Theological Studies McMASTER DIVINITY COLLEGE Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Reading Psalm 29 within the Psalter AUTHOR: Jeaman Choi SUPERVISOR: Mark Boda NUMBER OF PAGES: ix + 109 II McMASTER DIVINITY COLLEGE Upon the recommendation of an oral examining committee, this thesis-project by JEAMANCHOI is hereby accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES 1trJ'~ Secondary Supervisor Date: March 19, 2009 III ABSTRACT "Reading Psalm 29 within the Psalter" Jeaman Choi McMaster Divinity College Hamilton, Ontario. Master of Theological Studies, 2009 Psalm 29 is studied first as a discrete poem using poetic analysis (parallelism, imagery, verse patterns) and then as a psalm within the larger context of the Psalter using a canonical approach. Psalm 29 as a discrete poem reveals the mighty power of the LORD as eternal king over His created world. The meaning of Ps 29 is clearly expanded in the context of the whole Psalter. In the context of the introductory (Pss 1-2) and concluding psalms (Pss 146-150) of the Psalter, Ps 29 emphasizes the theme of the kingship of the LORD. In the context ofPss 23-30 and in the wider canonical contexts (Books I-V), however, the emphasis ofPs 29 clearly shifts from the theme of the kingship of the LORD to the theme of the temple of the LORD.
  • The Psalms of David

    The Psalms of David

    The Psalms Of David The Argument This book of Psalms is set forth unto us by the holy Ghost, to be esteemed as a most precious treasure, wherein all things are contained that appertain to true felicity, as well in this life present as in the life to come. For the riches of true knowledge and heavenly wisdom, are here set open for us, to take thereof most abundantly. If we would know the great and high majesty of God, here we may see the brightness thereof shine most clearly. If we would seek his incomprehensible wisdom, here is the school of the same profession. If we would comprehend his inestimable bounty, and approach near thereunto, and fill our hands with that treasure, here we may have a most lively and comfortable taste thereof. If we would know wherein standeth our salvation, and how to attain to life everlasting, here is Christ our only redeemer, and mediator most evidently described. The rich man may learn the true use of his riches. The poor man may find full contention. He that will rejoice, shall know the true joy, and how to keep measure therein. They that are afflicted and oppressed shall see wherein standeth their comfort, and how they ought to praise God when he sendeth them deliverance. The wicked and the persecutors of the children of God shall see how the hand of God is ever against them: and though he suffer them to prosper for awhile, yet he bridleth them, in so much as they cannot touch an hair of ones head except he permit them, and how in the end their destruction is most miserable.

Bryce Baker he beautiful and carefully crafted Hebrew poetry found in the book of TPsalms has comforted, inspired, admonished, and encouraged readers for millennia. According to R. Scott Burton, “Our English name ‘Psalms’ comes from the Septuagint . title of the book, psalmoi, plural of psalmos, meaning ‘the twitching or twanging with fingers,’ associated mostly with the strings of a musical instrument.”1 While there is some debate regarding the authorship of individual psalms, there is no dispute regarding their power and influence. Second only to the book of Isaiah, Psalms is the most frequently quoted book in the New Testament and was often quoted by the Savior.2 The Book of Mormon contains a variety of literary styles, and it should come as no surprise that the Psalms may have inspired the ancient prophet Nephi as he wrote upon the small plates.
