  • 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.

  • Psalms 112-113 Page 1 of 7 M.K
    Psalms 112-113 page 1! of !7 M.K. Scanlan Psalm 112 • Psalm 112 is a companion Psalm to Psalm 111. • It is also an acrostic Psalm with each verse or sentence beginning with a consecutive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. • This is one of the “hallel” psalms or Psalms of praise that either begins with or ends with “hallelujah!” • Psalm 111 ends with: (V: 10) Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.” • Psalm 111 ends with the reverence or fear of the Lord and the doing of His commandments. • Psalm 112 talks about the man who has learned what it is to stand in the awe and reverence of God, it’s about that man who has committed himself to obeying God and doing His commandments. V: 1 Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Once again this could be both a proclamation and or an exhortation. • Blessed, or “Oh how happy” is the man who fears the Lord - why? Because if you learn to fear the Lord truly, you will ultimately end up getting saved! Proverbs 14:27 “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death.” Proverbs 19:23 “The fear of the Lord leads to life,…” • If we fear God, then we don’t need to fear anything, or anyone else! Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” • The antidote to depression, to un-happiness, anxiety, and fear - is to praise the Lord, to fear Him, and to joyfully be obedient to what He’s instructed us to do.

  • Psalms 111–112: Big Story, Little Story
    religions Article Psalms 111–112: Big Story, Little Story Jack Collins Old Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary, 12330 Conway Road, St Louis, MO 63141, USA; [email protected] Academic Editors: Katharine J. Dell and Arthur J. Keefer Received: 10 May 2016; Accepted: 11 August 2016; Published: 5 September 2016 Abstract: This study argues that the juxtaposition of Psalms 111–112 offers wisdom for life. Psalm 111, in stressing God’s mighty deeds of redemption for his people, focuses on the “big story” for the whole people; Psalm 112, in stressing “wisdom,” encourages each member of God’s people in a day-to-day walk, a “little story,” that contributes to the big story of the whole people. Keywords: Proverbs; Psalms; Wisdom; story; community 1. Introduction To the larger consideration of how, if at all, Biblical wisdom literature provides resources for living in the contemporary world, I will focus on a small portion of the Psalms, namely Psalms 111–112 [1]. I write as a Christian, with an interest in how careful academic study might inform Christian practice. These two psalms are of quite different types. Psalm 111 celebrates the great works that the Lord has done: “he sent redemption to his people” (111:9). Psalm 112 celebrates the blessedness of the person “who fears the LORD” (112:1): “it is well with” such a person (112:5). Psalm 111 looks at the “big picture,” the deeds that the Lord has done for his “people,” that is, for the corporate entity. Psalm 112 attends primarily to the “smaller picture,” the conduct and effects of particular persons within the people.

  • Editor's Notes for Beatus Vir
    Editor’s Notes for Beatus Vir a 4 Beatus vir ("Blessed is the man” or “Happy are those”) are the first words in the Latin Vulgate Bible of both Psalm 1 and Psalm 112 (in the general modern numbering; it is Psalm 111 in the Vulgate). In each case, the words are used to refer to frequent and significant uses of these psalms in art, although the two psalms are prominent in different fields, art in the case of Psalm 1 and music in the case of Psalm 112. True to that tradition, Eslava used Psalm 112 for this piece, and it is the second version I have come across in my transcriptions of his work. Compare this to https://musescore.com/rebecca_rufin/beatus-vir-psalm-112-blessed-is-the-man or as also found in https://hilarioneslava.org/music/. This beautiful rendering of Beatus Vir is one of five choral works contained in a handwritten journal by Eslava. Although the title specifically reads “Beatus Vir a 4”, there are clearly eight singing parts that would appear to represent a double choir at first glance. No solo parts are formally indicated, but I surmise from the title that the first choir was most likely intended to be for solo voices. To the best of my knowledge, none of the works in this particular journal were ever formally published, and they all seem to lack composer’s instructions that would have been necessary to create the intended performance. Therefore, this work was likely never performed except under the direction of Eslava himself, who would have provided such instruction personally.

  • The Abcs of Praise by Pastor Jason Van Bemmel Praise the LORD! I Will
    1 The ABCs of Praise by Pastor Jason Van Bemmel Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. 2 Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them. 3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful. 5 He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. 6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations. 7 The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy; 8 they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name! 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! – Psalm 111, ESV Introduction: Alphabet of Praise Wouldn’t it be neat to know what songs Jesus sang in worship, as He was growing up and as a man in ancient Israel? Well, with the psalms were learning this week and next, we have come to two psalms that Jesus almost certainly sang repeatedly in His life. Psalm 111 is an alphabetic acrostic poem. It has 22 lines, not counting the opening “Praise the LORD.” These 22 lines each begin with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order.

A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2009 ABSTRACT Wisdom Editing in the Book of Psalms: Vocabulary, Themes, and Structures Steven Dunn, B.A., M.Div. Marquette University, 2009 This study examines the pervasive influence of post-exilic wisdom editors and writers in the shaping of the Psalter by analyzing the use of wisdom elements—vocabulary, themes, rhetorical devices, and parallels with other Ancient Near Eastern wisdom traditions. I begin with an analysis and critique of the most prominent authors on the subject of wisdom in the Psalter, and expand upon previous research as I propose that evidence of wisdom influence is found in psalm titles, the structure of the Psalter, and among the various genres of psalms. I find further evidence of wisdom influence in creation theology, as seen in Psalms 19, 33, 104, and 148, for which parallels are found in other A.N.E. wisdom texts. In essence, in its final form, the entire Psalter reveals the work of scribes and teachers associated with post-exilic wisdom traditions or schools associated with the temple.

  • “Be Blessed” Psalm 112 with Our Bibles Open to Psalm 112, We Will
    “Be Blessed” Psalm 112 With our Bibles open to Psalm 112, we will be reading from a “twin psalm.” Psalms 111 and 112 could be called “fraternal psalms,” since they’re obviously not identical. While not recognizable in our English translations, both psalms are in the form of an acrostic poem, each line beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The bridge between the two psalms: the fear of the LORD. The final verse of Psalm 111 reminds us that “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” The first verse of Psalm 112 tells us, “Blessed is the man who fears the LORD.” In Psalm 111 the focus is on the awesome works of God, thus providing the rational for fearing the LORD. Psalm 112 focuses more on the words of God, thus showing us that the one who fears the LORD as he should is someone who pays attention to what God has said and seeks to obey those words. Verse 1 begins with a call to praise the Lord. This opening line serves more like a heading since it doesn’t fit with the acrostic order. Therefore, a few translations will set that opening exhortation apart from the rest of the verse. “Blessed is the man who…” This beatitude sets the tone for the whole psalm. It introduces the conduct and attitudes that followers of God should emulate. If you don’t get these actions and attitudes right, you can’t possibly expect to experience all the blessings that follow. The world might say, “Blessed is the person with power.

[Hebrew Hallelu Yah] Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in His commands. 2 Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever. 4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. 5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. 6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. 7 They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. 9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn [meaning “dignity”] will be lifted high in honor. 10 The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash their teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
