  • An Introduction to the Book of Psalms
    An Introduction to the Book of Psalms John F. Hobbins [email protected] The book of Psalms is actually a collection of five books each of which ends with a note of praise. Known as “the book of praises” in Jewish tradition, almost every composition in it is suffused with praise, culminates in praise, or anticipates offering praise to the national deity of Israel. A doxology closes Book 1 (Psalms 1-41), Book 2 (Psalms 42-72), Book 3 (Psalms 73-89), and Book 4 (Psalms 90-106). Several psalms of praise close Book 5 (Psalms 107-150). In the Psalms, the chief calling of God is to respond to the needs of his creatures. The chief calling of his creatures is to offer him praise and spread abroad his greatness. The psalms are also characterized by raw passions and an emotional logic that are alien and familiar to moderns at the same time. Faith in God is something that always comes to expression in the psalms, even if it manifests itself as protest and rage against God. Scansions and translations of a few of the psalms are offered on this site: Psalms 2, 6, 104, 111-112, and 137; also, Jonah 2:3-10, a psalm outside the Psalter. Psalms manuscripts recovered from the caves of Qumran demonstrate that the book of Psalms as passed on to posterity by rabbinic Judaism is not identical in contents and arrangement to psalms collections in existence before the standardization of the biblical text became an accomplished fact in the first and second centuries CE.

  • How the Old Testament Came to Us
    SUNDAY SCHOOL MATERIALS FOR ADULTS LESSON 3 HOW THE OLD TESTAMENT CAME TO US Scripture Text: Psalm 145:1-13 God began to give His Word to man by speaking to him. He spoke to man in all ages, giving personal commands. When ready to give a system of law for guidance over a length of time, He first spoke it (Exodus 20:1-19), then He wrote part of it with His own finger (Exodus 31:18), then commanded Moses to write thou these words (Exodus 24:4; 34:27), and Moses obeyed. All Old Testament Books were written as God led the writers to write (Jeremiah 30:2; Habakkuk 2:2; 2 Peter 1:21). With few exceptions, they were written in Hebrew on parchment and rolled into scrolls to make a book. These were copied by hand by scribes, an expensive and laborious task. The Old Testament is God's Word, was written to stand forever, and is to be spread to all people. MEMORY VERSE: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.—Isaiah 40:5 DAILY READINGS: Mon.—2 Kings 22 Hilkiah finds a Bible.

  • Psalm 7 Worksheet
    Introduction: The next group of psalms (7-14) deal with the same basic issue last the previous four: David’s distress/affliction at the hands of his enemies. Shiggaion? There are many terms used in the heading of the psalms that often refer the psalm to specific instruments or to the director of music. This term might fall somewhere in between. The Septuagint simply “translates” it into Greek with the word “psalm”, evidently pointing to the fact that already in antiquity the meaning of this word was lost. Psalm 7 1 O Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, 2 or they will tear me like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me. What gives this prayer a sense of urgency? Explain the significance of David calling the Lord “my” God. Unfortunately, we often can treat God like a last resort. How does the second line of verse two help us fight that temptation? 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands— 4 if I have done evil to him who is at peace with me or without cause have robbed my foe— 5 then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust. Compare David’s attitude toward the punishment any evil done by him deserves with your own attitude toward the same. What does the punishment David lists suggest about the nature of things he is accused of? Which is worse: to wrong a friend or to wrong an enemy? 6 Arise, O Lord, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies.

  • Psalm 31 Verses 1-13 Virtual Bible Study
    Psalm 31, Verses 1-13, Virtual Bible Study Transcript Hello everyone. We are continuing our study of the Psalms and this week, it is Psalm 31. Psalm 31 is a praise and thanks and prayer and comfort all at the same time. It's a wonderful prayer talking about God being our fortress and our rock. You can almost hear some of the themes of A Mighty Fortress is Our God in this and in several other things about the confidence that we have in God, our Savior. So let us get into it. Psalm 31. The 31st psalm is a universal psalm of thanks, a psalm of prayer, and a psalm of comfort, all at the same time. It is spoken in the person of Christ and of His saints, who, on account of the Word of God, are plagued their entire lives—inwardly with fears and troubles; outwardly with persecutions, slander, and contempt. Yet they are comforted and delivered by God out of all of them. This psalm belongs in the Second and Third Commandments and in the First and Second Petitions. So thus says Luther on Psalm 31. Now, Psalm 31. 1In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! 2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! 3 For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me; 4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.

  • Psalm 50 Outline
    Covenant Keepers Psalm 50 Introduction: 1. Why do we have the Psalms: a. Story of the two men who were shipwrecked and decided to pray. (B-1, I-52, N-12…) (Bible Hub, “1. The Significance of the Psalms | Bible.Org”) b. Many of us feel as if we know more and understand better the worship of the Bible. However, we often refer to the preaching hour as the worship hour (all of life is worship). A major mistake that we commit is that we have a start and stop time for worship, get up and leave and think that what we do the rest of the week is not worshipping. (ibid) c. The central focus of our lives should not be us or even others, it should be God. (John 4:20-24; Ephesians. 1:6, 12, 14; 3:2) (ibid) d. The glory of heaven is not that will be happy in heaven (which we will for there are no tears in heaven), but that we will see God in His fulness and fall down and worship Him (24 elders Revelation 4:9-11) (ibid) e. “…while the rest of the Scripture speaks to us, the Psalms speak for us. The Psalms provide us with a rich vocabulary for speaking to God about our souls.” (Hedges) 1. “When we long to worship, we have psalms of thanksgiving and praise. When we are sad and discouraged, can pray the psalms of lament. The psalms give voice to our anxieties and fears, and show us how to cast our cares on the Lord and renew our trust in him.

  • By the Waters of Babylon (Psalm 136)
    BY THE WATERS OF BABYLON (P SALM 136) Sung after the Polyeleos on the Sundays of the Prodigal Son, the Last Judgment, and Forgiveness Sunday By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and we wept when we remembered Sion. Alleluia. Upon the willows in the midst thereof did we hang our instruments. Alleluia. For there, they that had taken us captive asked us for words of song; And they that had led us away asked us for a hymn, saying: sing us one of the songs of Sion. Alleluia. How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land? Alleluia. If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten. Alleluia. Let my tongue cleave to my throat, if I remember thee not, If I set not Jerusalem above all others, as at the head of my joy. Alleluia. Remember, O Lord, the sons of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem, Who said: Lay waste, lay waste to her, even to the foundations thereof. Alleluia. O daughter of Babylon, thou wretched one, blessed shall he be who shall reward thee wherewith thou hast rewarded us. Alleluia. Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock. Alleluia. General Points: Psalm 137 (Greek numbering: Psalm 136) the Septuagint makes it one of the lamentations of Jeremiah, naming him for the author of it. Slavonic Psalter: “For David, by Jeremiah, in the Captivity” Many in Kingdom of Judah were deported to Babylon Laments the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC.

  • The Significance of the Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls
    Journal of Theology of Journal Southwestern dead sea scrolls sea dead SWJT dead sea scrolls Vol. 53 No. 1 • Fall 2010 Southwestern Journal of Theology • Volume 53 • Number 1 • Fall 2010 The Significance of the Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls Peter W. Flint Trinity Western University Langley, British Columbia [email protected] Brief Comments on the Dead Sea Scrolls and Their Importance On 11 April 1948, the Dead Sea Scrolls were announced to the world by Millar Burrows, one of America’s leading biblical scholars. Soon after- wards, famed archaeologist William Albright made the extraordinary claim that the scrolls found in the Judean Desert were “the greatest archaeological find of the Twentieth Century.” A brief introduction to the Dead Sea Scrolls and what follows will provide clear indications why Albright’s claim is in- deed valid. Details on the discovery of the scrolls are readily accessible and known to most scholars,1 so only the barest comments are necessary. The discovery begins with scrolls found by Bedouin shepherds in one cave in late 1946 or early 1947 in the region of Khirbet Qumran, about one mile inland from the western shore of the Dead Sea and some eight miles south of Jericho. By 1956, a total of eleven caves had been discovered at Qumran. The caves yielded various artifacts, especially pottery. The most impor- tant find was scrolls (i.e. rolled manuscripts) written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, the three languages of the Bible. Almost 900 were found in the Qumran caves in about 25,000–50,000 pieces,2 with many no bigger than a postage stamp.
