Daily Lectionary This Outline Is a Devotional Reading Plan That Covers the Entire Sacred Scriptures Each Year

Daily Lectionary This outline is a devotional reading plan that covers the entire Sacred Scriptures each year. The selections are based on ancient models and are generally in harmony with the liturgical church year. The average reading is three chapters daily. A seasonal can- ticle is assigned for each month and is scheduled to replace the psalm on the first and last days of the month. All of the psalms are read twice a year. The lectionary is in accordance with Martin Luther’s suggestions: “But let the entire Psalter, divided in parts, remain in use and the entire Scriptures, divided into lections, let this be preserved in the ears of the church.” Also: “After that another book should be se- lected, and so on, until the entire Bible has been read through, and where one does not understand it, pass that by and glorify God.” Page 295, Lutheran Worship Concordia Publishing House Those participating in the Daily Lectionary are encouraged to be part of Bethany’s Small Group ministry. An emphasis of these small groups will not only be to discuss the Scripture that we have read, but also to devote ourselves to good works together. Chris- tians sometimes forget that our “devotional lives,” according to Paul, should not only include studying God’s Word (an absolute necessity), but also good works that are just as important. These good works in small groups could be anything that is profitable for others such as: making quilts for Lutheran World Relief, host- ing a meal for Family Promise, volunteering at a charity 5K race, giving rides to health care appointments, or picking up trash in God’s creation.
Is Psalm 110 a Messianic Psalm?

BIBLIOTHECA SACRA 157 (April–June 2000): 160–73 Copyright © 2000 by Dallas Theological Seminary. Cited with permission. IS PSALM 110 A MESSIANIC PSALM? Barry C. Davis DID THE NEW TESTAMENT WRITERS violate the intent of the author of Psalm 110 when they identified the undesig- nated ynidoxE ("my Lord") of Psalm 110:1 (and hence the fo- cus of the entire psalm) as the Messiah, that is, Jesus Christ?1 This article investigates the legitimacy of the messianic inter- pretation of Psalm 110. Before addressing the issue at hand, brief mention of two de- bated topics surrounding the understanding of Psalm 110 must be made.2 The first issue is the time when this psalm was written, and the second concerns the identification of the author of the psalm. Most commentators hold one of three views about the date of the writing: pre-Israelite Canaanite origins,3 postexilic Israel- Barry C. Davis is Assistant Professor of Bible and Hebrew, Multnomah Biblical Seminary, Portland, Oregon. 1 Psalm 110 is the most frequently quoted or referenced psalm in the New Testa- ment. New Testament authors directly cite Psalm 110:1, regarding ynidoxE (my Lord) sitting at the right hand of hvhy (the LORD) in Matthew 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42; Acts 2:34; Hebrews 1:13; and they allude to it in Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62; Luke 22:69; Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; and Hebrews 8:1. Also the author of the Book of Hebrews quoted Psalm 110:4 in affirming that is of the priestly order of Melchizedek in Hebrews 5:6; 7:17; and he made general reference to the psalm in Hebrews 5:10; 6:20; and 7:11, 15.
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.
Reflecting on Psalm 109 with Jesus 36. Psalms 109-110

36. Psalms 109-110 Reflecting on Psalm 109 with Jesus Psalm 109 is not used in the Church’s liturgy, possibly because of the length of the section in which the psalmist speaks of the terrible way he is being treated, and possibly because verse 20 does not fit with Jesus’ injunction that we love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48). However, it has many verses that are quite moving. Part 1. verses 1-19 The terrible way the psalmist is being treated .to whom I pray, be not silent (אֱלהֵ֥י) 1God 2For wicked and deceitful voices speak out against me, pursuing me with lies. 3They beset me with words full of hate; they attack me without cause. 4I treat them with love, but they still accuse me, even while I pray for them. 5They return evil for good, and hatred for my love. 6They say: ‘Appoint a crooked judge, and have an accuser close by. 7When he is tried, let him be found guilty; may his pleading be reckoned as sinful. 8May his days be few. May others fill his place. 9May his children be orphans, and his wife a widow. 10May they wander about and beg; may they be driven out of the ruins they inhabit. 11May the creditor seize all that he has. May strangers plunder the fruits of his toil. 12May there be no one to do him a kindness, nor anyone to pity his orphaned children. 13May his line end; may his name be blotted out in the second generation. 14May the guilt of his father be remembered before GOD.
Mcdaniel's Article on Psalm

X PSALM 109 A WOMAN’S LAMENT Psalm 109:4b, 28, 31 The proper interpretation of Psalm 109 as a whole is depen- dent upon the correct understanding of the hL'pit. ynIa]w: in v. 4. As pointed in the MT, these two words are the conjunction + pronoun subject and a noun predicate, meaning “And I (am) a prayer.” Because this literal meaning is senseless, it has been paraphrased as • evgw. de. proseuco,mhn “but I continue to pray” (Septuagint), • ego autem orabam “but I pray” (Vulgate), • nwHI\` +iwh A|c# A[)w “but I have prayed for them” (Peshitta), • “but I give myself unto prayer” (KJV), • “but I am a man of prayer” (NIV, NIB), • “even while I make prayer for them” (NRS), • “and all I can do is pray!” (NJB), • “even me. My prayer . .” (Dahood (1970: 97). But the hlpt in this verse is not the same as the hL'piT. found in 109:7, which is the noun “prayer” from the stem ll;P' (BDB 813; Jastrow 1182–1183). The initial t of the hlpt in 109:4 is not a noun prefix but the first letter of the stem lp;T' “to be unseemly, to be indecent.” Thus, this hL'piT. “prayer” should be pointed as (1) hl'p.Ti “impropriety, inde- cency,” the abstract of which is tWlp.Ti “obscenity, triviality, PSALM 109: A WOMAN’S LAMENT 147 frivolity” (Castell 1669: 3932; BDB 1074; Jastrow 1903: 1686–1687), or as (2) hl'peTo, a feminine singular participle (GKC 84as), meaning “an indecent /obscene (woman).” The noun hl'p.Ti appears in Jer 23:13 !Arm.vo yaeybin>biW hl'p.ti ytiyair", which the Septuagint appropriately translated as kai.
LESSON on PSALMS 107-129 September 18, 2019 Book Psalms

LESSON ON PSALMS 107-129 September 18, 2019 Book Psalms for Praying An Invitation to Wholeness by Nan C. Merrill History Israel understood its history to be a life of co-existence with God. It was a partnership with God centered on a historical event (the Exodus). At that time, God entered into a binding covenant relationship with the Israelites. In the course of time, God initiated something new when he made David to be their king. In Scripture we see how historical events (stories) showed God’s continual active presence. Most catastrophic event (end of Israel as a nation) was seen as God coming to judge. It was also interpreted as God coming to renew the people even through their suffering. Israelites were the first to discover the meaning of history as the epiphany of God. Israel was to be a partner with God in these events and to respond to his presence and activity. Emphasis was primarily on the actions of God. Old Testament showed that Israel did not keep silent about the mighty acts of God. People recalled the acts in historical writings and addressed God in a very personal way. People raised hymns of praise, boldly asked questions, and complained in the depths of distress. In this covenant relationship, Israel could converse with God. Finest example we have of this conversation with God is the Book of Psalms. It is a condensed account of the whole drama of the history of Israel. We have already noted that it is impossible to put them in their proper historical periods.
Psalm Praise: Declarations of Praise from the Psalms

Psalm Praise: Declarations of praise from the Psalms Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning is now and shall be for ever. Amen. □ I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; Psalm 7:17 and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. □ I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; Psalm 9:1-2 I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. □ Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; Psalm 9:11 proclaim among the nations what he has done. □ I trust in your unfailing love; Psalm 13:5-6 my heart rejoices in your salvation.

A Trial Lawyer Sings Psalms

A Trial Lawyer Sings Psalms Published in Litigation, The Journal of the Section of Litigation, American Bar Association, Summer 1997 By Patrick A. Malone Save this one for later. Pick it up again in that idle, restless hour at the end of the day, in that place where trial lawyers find themselves too often. You are out of town, again. Another unfamiliar hotel room dominated by the oversized bed and, just opposite, the mini-bar/entertainment console. Your dinner was sumptuous, the wine silken, the phone call to home satisfactory, and now the empty night stretches ahead. A perfect time to dictate a deposition digest, or watch a bit of TV. If you're highbrow enough, you could flick the channels for a few minutes and curse the mindless babble of modern culture. Or you could try this instead. Slide open the drawer of the bedside nightstand. In it, alone, you will find the Gideon Bible. (If you're in certain hotels in Cleveland, you will also find a copy of the Koran, but that's another story.) Take out the Gideon and crack it open precisely in the middle. There you will see the Book of Psalms. Now read one or two, from start to end straight through. Note the poetry, the music, in these ancient words. But there is nothing delicate here. The psalms seeth with passions that almost leap off the Gideon's onion- skin paper. "Tears drench my bed." (Psalm 6). Enemies "fill their mouths with proud roaring." (17) Traitors "prowl the city, growling like dogs." (59) In the end, things work out for the best: The wicked grind their teeth at the just (Psalm 37), enemies are made into footstools for the righteous (109), crooked paths become straight (139), "the hills are robed with joy." (65).
