  • 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.

    JOT0010.1177/0309089217704549Journal for the Study of the Old TestamentSouthwood 704549research-article2018 Original Article Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 2019, Vol. 43(2) 228 –246 Metaphor, illness, and © The Author(s) 2018 Article reuse guidelines: identity in Psalms 88 and 102 sagepub.com/journals-permissions https://doi.org/10.1177/0309089217704549DOI: 10.1177/0309089217704549 journals.sagepub.com/home/jot Katherine Southwood University of Oxford, UK Abstract This article argues that the Hebrew Bible is an important resource for adding insights into illness language and narratives by making a case for the use of medical humanities in biblical studies. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this article utilises existing research concerned with illness experiences and identity as a heuristic tool for addressing the study of illness in the Hebrew Bible. However, as well as providing a useful heuristic lens, this article argues that ancient texts can also bring a richness to present day perspectives and analysis of illness accounts within medical humanities. A key contribution of this article is the demonstration that ancient religious texts such as Psalms 88 and 102 share many of the themes, concerns, and motifs which resonate in modern day research concerning illness experiences. We will initially examine modern illness experience research and then turn to evaluate Psalms 88 and 102 from this perspective. Keywords Identity, illness, medical humanities, metaphor, Psalm 88, Psalm 102 Introduction There is no other adversity which can strike that is quite like illness. Illness affects eve- ryone at some point, and of all the misfortunes, it is certainly the most common.

  • The Future David of Psalm
    Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies JBTSVOLUME 4 | ISSUE 1 The Future David of Psalm 101: Davidic Hope Sustained in Book IV of the Psalter David ‘Gunner’ Gundersen [JBTS 4.1 (2019): 82–112] The Future David of Psalm 101: Davidic Hope Sustained in Book IV of the Psalter DAVID ‘GUNNER’ GUNDERSEN David ‘Gunner’ Gundersen (PhD, Southern Seminary) is Lead Pastor at BridgePoint Bible Church in Houston, Texas. Abstract: Since Gerald Wilson published The Editing of the Hebrew Psalter, scholars have debated his proposal regarding the structure and message of the Psalter. Central to the debate is the role and status of the Davidic line in Books IV–V (Psalms 90–150). Many follow Wilson, arguing that the Davidic line and Davidic hope virtually disappear in these final two books. Others disagree, but they tend to emphasize royal and Davidic evidence within Book V. This paper explores the message and function of Psalm 101 within Book IV, arguing that its intra-book links, Davidic title, royal voice, lamenting tone, future orientation, inter-psalm allusions, and strategic placement make it a central psalm sustaining Davidic hope in Book psalms at the core of Book IV (93–100) do not elevate יהוה מלך IV. Therefore, the the reign of Yahweh only to castigate the line of David. The reign of Yahweh rather upholds the line of David, answering the suspicions of Psalm 89 where God was questioned because he had bound his visible earthly rule to the fallen Davidic throne. Key Words: Psalms, Hebrew Psalter, Book IV, Gerald Wilson, canonical, David, royal psalm Introduction In the last three decades, concentrated research on the canonical Hebrew Psalter has advanced the view that the Psalter bears an intentional structure.1 Interpreters have explored the placement of individual psalms, pairs, sets, groups, collections, books, and multi-book sections.

  • Psalms 90-106 the Psalms: Jesus’ Prayer Book
    Book IV - Psalms 90-106 The Psalms: Jesus’ Prayer Book Praying the Psalms should be like speaking our mother tongue, but if we’re honest praying the psalms feels more like speaking a foreign language. A missionary friend and his young family returned home from France for a summer sabbatical. The entire family had difficulty speaking English, because they had vowed four years earlier to speak only French. They were committed to learning the language; consequently, not one word of English. But upon their return home, after keeping their vow for four years, everyone in the family struggled. Their mother tongue felt like a foreign language. To neglect the Psalms is like refusing to speak our mother tongue. Deep down we have a sense that the Psalms ought to resonate with our souls, but we feel disconnected. We try to access the Psalms the way we look for a Hallmark greeting card. We want a verse that shows we care, a thought that expresses our feelings. We go to the Psalms the way we go to the medicine cabinet to get an aspirin. It is at such times that we wish the Psalms were better organized and indexed to somehow make them more accessible. In Deceived by God? A Journey Through Suffering, theologian John Feinberg honestly admits that his extensive study of the problem of evil did little to comfort him when his wife, Patricia, was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease. This genetically transmitted disease involves the premature deterioration of the brain. During seminary, Feinberg wrote his master of divinity thesis on Job.

    Psalm 102 Continued Psalm 102:15 “So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory” Whose name is reverend, and to be feared. Especially the glorious and fearful name "Jehovah". Expressive of the divine existence, of his eternity and immutability. Though the name of the Lord frequently signifies himself, and here particularly the Messiah, the Son of God. In whom the name of the Lord is; the King of saints, whom all men will fear in the latter day. When the set time to favor Zion is come; will stand in awe of him, be careful of offending him, and will serve and worship him. Even the very Heathen, who knew not God, and had no fear of him before their eyes, or in their hearts. The Pagan nations, whose kingdoms will become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ (see Rev. 11:15). "And all the kings of the earth thy glory": Which may be supplied thus. Either "all the kings of the earth shall see thy glory", or shall fear thee because of "thy glory". The glory of Christ's person, as the Son of God. The glory of his offices, as Prophet, Priest, and King. Especially the glory of his kingly office, to which that of the kings of the earth is not to be compared. The glory of his works of creation, providence, and redemption. And as it will be held forth in the Gospel, with which the earth will now be full, and so be filled with the glory of the Lord (Psalm 72:19).
