The Passion Translation | Psalms Study | Dr. Brian Simmons Lesson 3 / Psalm 3: ​Covered by the Glory King David's Song W The Passion Translation | Psalms Study | Dr. Brian Simmons Lesson 3 / Psalm 3: Covered by the Glory ​ King David’s song when he was forced to flee from Absalom, his own son The rabbis call this ‘The Morning Hymn.’ The words of this psalm could have been heard early in the morning from the lips of Jesus Christ as He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane. It is the song of a soul in grave peril as a new day dawns. It is the heartbreak of a father (David) that spoke these words. Although known as a psalm of lament, the true theme of Psalm 3 is: quietness in the midst of troubles. Even though the king was in a painful situation, he still had a song in his heart. This psalm begins at a very low moment in the life of David. Because of his sin with Bathsheba, his family life was torn apart with strife. Absalom was the arrogant, insolent son of David who attempted to take the kingship from his father by force. He was David’s third son by Maacah, the daughter of king Geshur. Absalom was a charming prince with the people and used his charm to steal their heart from his father the king. Exiled for the murder of his brother Ammon, Absalom eventually returned to Jerusalem and plotted to dethrone his father. David learned of the rebellion of his son and fled to Mahanaim. Although Absalom was formally anointed king, he was eventually defeated and killed by David’s army (2 Sam.15-18). A marginal (alternate) reading of the inscription is, “To the chief musician on neginoth”. Neginoth is taken from a word that means “to strike, or lay hands on”. It was sometimes used for a string instrument that was strummed with the hand, but it also means to strike down the enemy and be victorious. This psalm is the striking of God’s servant and God’s victory we discover in our difficulties. Jesus Christ is the Son of David and the Seed of David (Matt.1:1 & Luke 1:30-33). The path that David took as he fled from Absalom is the same as Jesus’ departure from Jerusalem to pray in Gethsemane on the night of his betrayal and arrest. Both David and Jesus passed through the Kidron valley (“valley of mourning”), weeping as they went up by the ascent of Mt. Olivet (II Sam. 15:30 and 15:23). It is simply amazing that King David and his loyal men traced the steps that King Jesus would one day take on His way to Gethsemane and Calvary. David, in spite of the rebellion of his son, loved Abasalom. He mourned over him while he lived and was heartbroken when he died. One of the great glimpses we have into the heart of the “sweet Psalmist of Israel” is found in the account of David and Absalom. David did not resist the rebellion or even defend himself from those who misunderstood him. He fled from his home and took his household with him, rather than battle with Absalom. During all this season of his life, David chose to trust the Lord and let God vindicate him. This was the backdrop for the writing of Psalm 3. David is fleeing from his angry son. The army of Absalom is chasing him, ready to kill them all. Psalms 3-7 give us David’s perspective of godly living, even when misunderstood. As you study this Psalm this week, ask for a heart of wisdom into seasons of trouble and pain. These seasons come to us all, just as they did for David and the Lord Jesus, but they are not wasted as we quiet our hearts before Him and find in Him our strength and safety. Discover Him as your Shield, Savior, and Hero—the One who comes—when you “simply cry out”! Outline: V. 1-2 The Humbling of a King V. 3-4 The Help of God V. 5-6 The Song of Safety V. 7-8 The Secret of Strength The Humbling of a King (v.1-2) V. 1) “LORD, I have so many enemies, so many who are against me.” David begins his prayer to Yahweh in the vocative case. How many enemies did David have? Nearly all of Israel! Almost all who once sang songs of David’s might are now turned against him in revolt and siding with Absalom, his treacherous son (II Sam.16:15, 17:11-13). His enemies are circling in for the kill. Few believers have experienced such pain and heartache as the fugitive father David did over the rebellion of his son. The accusation, the anger, the pain of betrayal, the father’s love for a wayward son… all of these emotions explode in the lines of this poem. V. 2) “Listen to how they whisper their slander against me, saying: ‘Look! He’s hopeless! Even God can’t save him from this!’” Have you ever faced a hopeless situation? David had many foes, so many who were rising up against him, and many skeptics who did not believe God would come to help him. Anyone who moves out for God can expect to experience opposition in these three realms…David’s were numerous, aggressive, and mocking. But this will be matched by three realms of God’s salvation: He will cover our vulnerability as a SHIELD, He will counter the scorns of our enemies by causing us to know Him as our GLORY, and He will reverse the towering opposition of our souls by becoming the LIFTER of our heads. 2 David and Job both experienced the words of hopelessness from others. David had nowhere to turn as many told him God was not there for him and that Elohim would not rescue him. Shimei cursed him to his face, throwing stones at David as he walked by. Not only did his enemies taunt him, but so did his friends…those who were once his faithful counsellors. They all deserted him, saying, “He is hopeless. God will not come to help him.” There is perhaps nothing that could be said to another person that is more hurtful than this. Jesus was also One who experienced this pain. His cry on the cross was this: “My God, My God…why have You forsaken Me?” David’s grief points us to One greater than David... Pause in his presence, or the Hebrew word “Selah”, is a puzzling word to translate. Most scholars believe it is a musical term for pause or rest. It is used a total of seventy-one times in the Psalms as an instruction to the music leader to pause and ponder in God’s presence. An almost identical word, Sela, means a massive rock cliff. It is said that when Selah is spoken that the words are carved in stone in the throne room of the heavens. However, most scholars view Selah as the word for a musical pause—a time to reflect on what has been sung, a time to rest. The musicians would use this pause to retune their harps. Strings so easily get out of tune…just like the strings of our heart. We must let “Selah” teach us to pray and realign our hearts with God’s ways. There are three “Selahs” in this Psalm and three deliverances: from our fears, from our unbelief, and from all our foes! This first ‘selah’ causes the heart to turn away from our enemies and turn in confidence to the Lord. Quietness turns into confidence as we wait on the Lord. We must all eventually turn our attention from our enemies to God. The Help of God (v.3-4) V. 3) “But in the depths of my heart I truly know that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield; you take me and surround me with yourself. Your glory covers me continually. You lift high my head when I bow low in shame.” God is a circle of protection around David. The “many” are wrong! God will come to His friends and deliver them from evil. As soon as David turned his thoughts away from his enemies, he was reminded of how strong God is and how loving the Lord is to protect him. God is the shield around the life that seeks Him. In the New Testament, faith is the shield…but it is a faith that trusts in GOD (Eph. 6:16). Because faith points us to God, it becomes our defense and protection. HIS faith becomes our defense. It is better to hide behind Jehovah’s shield than to defend oneself. He becomes our Defender. David discovered in his pain that God surrounded Him and would be the Divine Protector. Some of the oldest translations of this verse render it: “You, O Lord, are my Taker.” The implication is that God shields us by taking us into Himself. Jesus Christ is the “Taker” of humanity, the One 3 who was made flesh, taking our weakness into His Divine strength. He not only took our nature, but He took our sins. We have been taken, apprehended for God. This shield was all around David, it was his sacred covering. Ponder David’s declaration: “Your glory covers me continually.” When we are covered by the Lord as a shield, His glory falls upon us. Drink deep of this truth: Your King bestows glory upon you! God bestows glory in the midst of affliction and pain. Hidden in His presence, He wraps a glory blanket around us.

Book Title The word psalms comes from the Greek word psalmoi. It suggests the idea of a “praise song,” as does the Hebrew word tehillim. It is related to a Hebrew concept which means “the plucking of strings.” It means a song to be sung to the accompaniment of stringed instruments. The Psalms is a collection of worship songs sung to God by the people of Israel with musical accompaniment. The collection of these 150 psalms into one book served as the first hymnbook for God’s people, written and compiled to assist them in their worship of God. At first, because of the wide variety of these songs, this praise book was unnamed, but eventually the ancient Hebrews called it “The Book of Praises,” or simply “Praises.” This title reflects its main purpose──to assist believers in the proper worship of God.

  • 1 When Your Enemies Are Too Many to Count Psalm 3 Introduction
    1 When Your Enemies Are Too Many To Count Psalm 3 Introduction: 1) In life we should not be surprised when we are forced to fight, when we are faced with battles we cannot avoid. 2) One of life’s greatest disappointments and heartbreaks is to be in a foxhole, receiving enemy fire, only to feel a burning sharp pain in the back, to turn and see that someone you were certain was a friend, is actually the enemy who has just stabbed you in the back in cruel betrayal. 3) This no doubt is what David felt when he was betrayed by his own son, Absalom. (2 Sam. 15-18). 4) What should we do when all seems lost? Trust in the Lord and call out to Him in confidence that He will deliver us. I. Share Your Problem with God 3:1-2 Psalm 3 is the first Psalm with a superscription providing some information about its context and occasion for writing. It is a psalm of lament and it is the natural extension of Psalms 1 & 2. Interestingly, the promise of Psalm 2:12 is tragically fulfilled in the death of Absalom as recorded in 2 Sam. 18:14-15. 1) Tell the Lord What They Do 3:1 • Lord, how (amazement at the turn of events) they have increased who trouble me. Many…Many (vr 2). 2) Tell the Lord What They Say 2:2 • David’s adversaries are active (v.1) and they are accusing (v.2). • V.2 ends with “Selah,” as does vs.

  • 8) the PILGRIMAGE of LIFE (Psalm 121)
    8) THE PILGRIMAGE OF LIFE (Psalm 121) One of the high points in “The Sound of Music” is when the Von Trapp’s flee their native Austria. When they are hid in a convent, Maria exclaims in King James English: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help! Inspired by this confident affirmation, the Von Trapp’s slip away and cross the border into the Swiss Alps. All psalms can have numerous, flexible interpretations, yet not all interpretations are equally faithful to the text. Some limitations should be applied. Two questions need to be asked about this psalm. 1) What was the original setting? 2) What picture of God underlies it? SETTING a) The title of the psalm is: “A Song of Ascents.” Psalm 122: 3-4, Psalm 24:3, Ezra 7:9 also give us a clue. There is reference to a ritual journey to Jerusalem, to the temple or the sacred site of the temple. Perhaps Psalm 121 and related psalms are used by pilgrims as “travel songs”, on their journey to Jerusalem, ascending to the holy city. Indeed, psalms 120-134 are all “songs of ascent.” Pilgrims would make their way to Jerusalem from different parts of the world during one of the high holidays like Passover. The songs are not cries of distress. Maria Von Trapp could have used psalm 3, 7 or 142. Traveling to the holy city and celebrating a specific festival could last for weeks. Thus, the Old Testament refers to festival “seasons.” In the lectionary (biblical readings in worship chosen for each Sunday of the year in common by all Christian churches), Psalm 121 is placed in late October, just before Advent.

  • 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.

  • Psalm 3 Author and Date: David Key Verse
    Psalm 3 Title: A Morning Prayer of Trust in God Author and Date: David Key Verse: Psalm 3:5 Outline A. The plight of the psalmist: the adversary is against me (verse 1-2). B. The peace of the psalmist: the Lord is for me (verse 3-6). C. The petition of the psalmist (verse 7-8). Notes Title: Psalm 3 is the first psalm with a title or superscription: “A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.” The title or superscription is verse 1 in the Hebrew Bible. The word “psalm” is from the Heb. mizmor meaning “melody”. There are 57 psalms with titles containing the words: “A Psalm of David”. For David’s flight from Absalom, see 2 Samuel 15-18. Verse 1: About one half of all the references to “adversaries” found in the Bible are found in the book of Psalms. Prayer for help against “adversaries” is a common theme in Psalms. For David’s “many” adversaries on this occasion, see 2 Samuel 17:1. Psalm 3 is the first “lament psalm” in the book. A “lament” is a cry to the Lord for help. Verse 2: Note the word “Selah” after verse 2, 4, and 8. This word occurs 71 times in 35 psalms, three times in Habakkuk (3:3, 9, 13), and one time in Isaiah (16:1; the word here refers to Petra). The exact meaning of this term is disputed, but some believe that “Selah” is from the Heb. salal meaning “lift up”. This word may be a musical notation possibly denoting a pause or interlude in the singing.

  • At Home Study Guide Praying the Psalms for the Week of May 15, 2016 Psalms 1-2 BETHELCHURCH Pastor Steven Dunkel
    At Home Study Guide Praying the Psalms For the Week of May 15, 2016 Psalms 1-2 BETHELCHURCH Pastor Steven Dunkel Today we start a new series in the Psalms. The Psalms provide a wonderful resource of Praying the Psalms inspiration and instruction for prayer and worship of God. Ezra collected the Psalms which were written over a millennium by a number of authors including David, Asaph, Korah, Solomon, Heman, Ethan and Moses. The Psalms are organized into 5 collections (1-41, 42-72, 73-89, 90-106, and 107-150). As we read the book of Psalms we see a variety of psalms including praise, lament, messianic, pilgrim, alphabetical, wisdom, and imprecatory prayers. The Psalms help us see the importance of God’s Word (Torah) and the hopeful expectation of God’s people for Messiah (Jesus). • Why is the “law of the Lord” such an important concept in Psalm 1 for bearing fruit as a follower of Jesus? • In John 15, Jesus says that apart from Him you can do nothing. Compare the message of Psalm 1 to Jesus’ words in John 15. Where are they similar? • Psalm 2 tells of kings who think they have influence and yet God laughs at them (v. 3). Why is it important that we seek our refuge in Jesus (2:12)? • Our heart for Bethel Church in this season is that we would saturate ourselves with God’s Word, specifically the book of Psalms. We’ve created a reading plan that allows you to read a Psalm a day or several Psalms per day as well as a Proverb.

  • 09/30/18 Engages in God Exalting Worship Psalm 100:1-5 Pastor Douglas Scalise, Brewster Baptist Church
    09/30/18 Engages in God Exalting Worship Psalm 100:1-5 Pastor Douglas Scalise, Brewster Baptist Church “To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.” William Temple "Worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience." Richard Foster John 4:23-24, “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” A small boy sat beside his mother in a worship service. Like most small children, and some adults, his attention was neither easily captured nor readily held. So much of what was happening in the service seemed uninteresting, unrelated unimportant. He was bored stiff. Suddenly his wandering eyes noticed a bronze plaque prominently placed on the side wall. There he saw stars, letters, and the outline of an American flag. Nudging his mother and pointing to the plaque, he asked, “What’s that?” Graciously his mother replied, “Those are the names of people from our church who died in the service.” There was a long pause. Suddenly, with a sense of concern bordering on panic, he asked, “Mom, was that the 8:00 or the 11:00 service?” Why do we find this story humorous? Probably because we relate to the not-so-subtle implication that worship services can be dull and lifeless.
