WEEK 85, DAY 1 PSALMS 74, 77, 79, and 80 Good Morning. This Is WEEK 85, DAY 1 PSALMS 74, 77, 79, and 80 Good morning. This is Pastor Soper and welcome to Week 85 of Know the Word. May I encourage you by saying that we are now less than six weeks away from finishing Know the Word? Then you will be able to say that you have carefully and prayerfully read the entire Bible, from cover to cover! That will, I believe, turn out to be one of the greatest and most beneficial accomplishments of your entire Christian life! I can honestly tell you that producing these recordings has been one of the greatest and most blessed accomplishments of my life as a Christian! Well, today we read Psalms 74, 77, 79 and 80. These Psalms are all found in Book 3 of the Psalter. (You will remember that Book 2 ended with the expression at the end of Psalm 72: “This concludes the prayers of David, son of Jesse,” even though several more Psalms bearing his name will be found mostly in Books 4 and 5). We also learned that there are five Books of Psalms, which appear to roughly correspond to the five Books of Moses. I have to confess to you, however, that the division between the five books have always seemed a bit arbitrary to me and I found myself wondering about that again this week. It is true, as some scholars have noted, the Psalms in Book 1 frequently use the name “Jehovah” or “Lord,” while the second Book seems to highlight the name “Elohim” or “God.” It is also apparent, as you may have quickly noticed this morning, that most of the Psalms in Book 3 show some evidence of being “exilic,” that is, they were written after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians. The key to understanding the rather “loose” organizational structure of the Psalms, however, is probably to be found in remembering that this is nothing more nor less than a five volume collection of hymns and choruses that evolved along with the worshiping community of Israel. Years ago, I bought a red chorus book that I really liked - it had some great new choruses in it like “Majesty” and “Our God Reigns”, as well as some older ones. Apparently a lot of other people liked it too because a year or two later, Volume 2 appeared with a whole bunch of new songs of praise. That was followed in turn by Volumes 3, 4, and 5, each one containing all kinds of songs: “helps”, “thanks”, and “wows” in all five of the song books. As long as worshipers keep writing new songs, I suppose, the potential exists for Volumes 6 through 10 as well. I am very sure that the process I have just described is a fair explanation of how the Book of Psalms was written as well! Psalm 74 is a song that was written after the army of Babylon had burned the Temple and broken down the walls of the beautiful city of Jerusalem. It asks a one-word question: “Why?” But really, it is two separate questions: “Why are you still angry with us?” and “Why don’t you punish the wickedness of our conquerors?” Verse 1 says, “Why have you rejected us forever, O God” (I don’t know how many years into exile this Psalm was written, but it seemed like forever!) and verse 11, “Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!” I know that I have said this a dozen times before, but indulge me once again: A Sovereign God is under no obligation to answer all our questions, but it is still okay to ask them. The words of Psalm 74 are evocative. Jerusalem is full of “everlasting ruins.” The Temple has been destroyed by “men wielding axes,” who then burned it to the ground. In verse 9, the Psalmist says that the invaders burned “every place where God was worshiped in the land.” That was a petty revealing statement because the Temple was the only place authorized by God for worship but the syncretistic spirit of the age had created a number of other unauthorized worship sites. “No prophets are left to us.” That expression may indicate that the Psalm originated in Jerusalem after Jeremiah had been dragged down to Egypt. Ezekiel and Daniel, you will remember, were with the exiles in Babylon. Psalm 77, the second one we read, is a little less obvious in terms of its date of origin, but probably it comes from the same period of time: “I thought about the former days, the years of long ago. I remembered my songs in the night; my heart mused and my spirit inquired; ‘Will the Lord reject forever? Will He never show His favor again? Has His unfailing love vanished forever? Has His promise failed for all time?’” Psalm 79 is quite explicit. It begins with these words: “O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy Temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.” A bit of the horrible aftermath of Jerusalem’s destruction is noted in verses 2 and 3: “They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beats of the earth. They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.” Psalm 80, though some scholars place it after the Assyrian destruction of the Northern Kingdom, sounds and feels like the other three: “Restore us, O God; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved…why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes… your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.” All of our Psalms this morning then, are songs of the exile - plaintive, wailing cries for help based on four things: #1: The mercy of God - the Psalmists hope for deliverance because they assume that God’s anger with His faithless people will not last forever (though to the author of Psalm 74 the length of time since the destruction of Judah seemed to be approaching forever!) Because God is merciful, there is hope in these Psalms that He will turn His wrath aside and restore His people. Now I need to remind you that there was plenty of ground for hope. Isaiah and Ezekiel, in particular, but some of the other pre-exilic Old Testament prophets as well, had promised it. The Psalmists here are only claiming the promises of Scripture. # 2: The second thing upon which these pleas for help are grounded is the belief in God’s justice. Since the nations He used to bring judgment down upon Judah and Israel were themselves godless and even more evil than the victims, the Psalmists are waiting for God to “visit” these evildoers with justice. His holiness demands it and the “sheep” in exile are watching for it. #3: The third base upon which the hope for deliverance rests is an even stronger one. It is the assumption that since the defeat of Israel has left the impression that Israel’s God is not as strong as the gods of Babylon and Assyria, Jehovah’s honor has been questioned by the arena of nations. He Himself has been mocked by the destruction of His Temple. The Psalmists believe that the glory of God has been compromised in the destruction of the Temple and of His city Jerusalem and in the exile of His people (His vine) Israel. Therefore, they are sure that He will move to vindicate His honor. It is clearest in Psalm 74: “How long will the enemy mock you, O God...rise up, O God and defend yourself; remember how fools mock you all day long!” It is there again in 79: “Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name…why should the nations say, ‘Where is their God?’” #4: The fourth and final ground upon which the appeal is made is the history of God’s deliverances and actions in the past. Since God has acted mightily on behalf of His people in the past to deliver them, there is faith that He will do it again in their present distress. God “split open the sea, crushed the heads of Leviathan, and opened springs and dried up rivers” - that is a poetic reference to Israel’s deliverance from Egypt - found in Psalm 74. In 77, the thought that God may have abandoned Israel gives way to this: “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will meditate on all your works…with your mighty arm you redeemed your people.” Then follows another poetic description of the amazing trip through the Red Sea. By the way, poetry or not, the last part of Psalm 77 sounds like the vivid eyewitness account of that amazing day passed down by oral tradition to the time of the Psalmist. Read it again and visualize what it must have been like for the children of Israel to cross through the passage between the walls of water! In Psalm 80, there is another recitation of history: “You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations…you cleared the ground for it…” Given all that you have done for us in the past, we are bound to believe that you will once again act in our present emergency.

  • Psalm 80: an Exegetical Discussion on the Model of an Abandoned Child
    Scriptura 119 (2020:1), pp. 1-15 http://scriptura.journals.ac.za http://dx.doi.org/10.7833/119-1-1454 PSALM 80: AN EXEGETICAL DISCUSSION ON THE MODEL OF AN ABANDONED CHILD Schalk Treurnicht Department Old and New Testament Stellenbosch University Abstract Psalm 80 uses a wide variety of metaphors to describe the way Israel saw God in their present context. This context is before the fall of Samaria to the Assyrians. It was a time of uncertainty, with many questions on God’s role in Israel’s future and God’s role in their present suffering. They may have asked, are they suffering because God has forgotten or abandoned them? Due to the uncertainty the psalm, which is a communal lament, asks God not to forget them and to return to them. This is done by referring to God’s past relationship with Israel, reminding God of the good parent-child relationship they once had. In Psalm 80 different metaphors work together to create this model of parent and child, with God portrayed not as a good parent, but rather a wicked one. But all is not lost, and Israel knows their lives can be saved by God choosing to return to them and to become, once again, the good parent, who keeps them safe. In this exegetical discussion on Psalm 80, I want to use these metaphors to help develop this model of Israel as an abandoned child and to conclude with the image that this portrays. The metaphor of Israel as child does not appear in Psalm 80, thus, the different metaphors that do appear, each say something about the relational experience Israel had with God.

  • Three Translations of Psalm 81:3 [2] Error in the KJV for Psalm 81:3 [3] the Double Word B-Keseh in Psalm 81:3
    Translation of Psalm 81:3 by Herb Solinsky (c) April 7, 2014 [1] Three Translations of Psalm 81:3 [2] Error in the KJV for Psalm 81:3 [3] The double word b-keseh in Psalm 81:3. Does keseh mean “cover” here? [4] The Meaning of keseh in Psalm 81:3 is the noun “approximate full moon” [5] Grammatical Structure of Ps 81:3 compared with some other Psalms [6] Bibliography [1] Three Translations of Psalm 81:3 Compare the following three translations of Ps 81:3. In the Hebrew text this is numbered Ps 81: 4. Ps 81:3 [KJV], “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Ps 81:3 [NRSV], “Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.” Ps 81:3 [Covered Theory], “Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at its being covered, on our feast day.” A literal translation of Ps 81:3 that preserves the Hebrew word order and avoids translating the Hebrew word keseh is: “Blow in [the] new-moon the ram's horn, in keseh on [the] day of our feast.” These three translations are very different for the Hebrew word keseh, where the KJV gives “time appointed”, the NRSV gives “full moon”, and some have suggested the verb “its being covered”. The original intent of the Hebrew can only mean one of these choices. [2] Error in the KJV for Psalm 81:3 There is a clear explanation for the KJV's translation of the Hebrew prepositional phrase b-keseh as “in the time appointed”.

    Front Cover 1 “We hold a treasure not made of gold, in earthen vessels, wealth untold, one treasure only: the Lord, the Christ, in earthen vessels.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 3 29 September 2019 Welcome, dear family and friends, We are thrilled that you can join us for a final celebration of this amazing journey on which God has taken us. We are aging, hopefully with a bit of style and grace, but know that the years will surely diminish our ability to do events together. Before our minds and bodies will no longer allow us to stand before you, the five of us want to honor you with one last concert, an opportunity for you and for us to give thanks to the One who has been with us and gone before us every step of the way. We’ve “come home” to this place where our journey began so many years ago. This represents the closing of a circle for us. We recorded our first album, Neither Silver Nor Gold, just blocks from here. The cover art on this concert program harkens back to the Lord of Light album that we recorded here. And today we circle back again, coming together one last time, to be with you, our family and friends. Just to be clear, this final concert doesn’t mean that the St. Louis Jesuits are going to disappear any time soon. We already have several individual projects in the works. There are still new dreams to dream, new songs to write and new prayers to pray.

  • Are There Maccabean Psalms in the Psalter?
    Bibliotheca Sacra 105 (Jan. 1948): 44-55. Copyright © 1948 by Dallas Theological Seminary. Cited with permission. Department of Semitics and Old Testament ARE THERE MACCABEAN PSALMS IN THE PSALTER? BY CHARLES LEE FEINBERG, TH.D., PH.D. Perhaps one of the most important questions in the mat- ter of dating the Psalter is that of the presence or absence of Maccabean psalms in the collection. Scholars differ wide- ly on the subject of such psalms in the Psalter, some finding a large number, others noting but a handful, while still others declaring the improbability of any such compositions in the Bible. The trend today is clear enough, however. Rowley notes: "At the beginning of the present century it was common to hold that a large number of the psalms was not composed until the Maccabean period. Such a view made the compilation of the Psalter so late that it could hardly be supposed that the Temple choirs of the Chron icler's day could have used this Hymn Book. Today there is a general tendency to find few, if any, Maccabean psalms, but on the contrary a good deal of ancient and pre-exilic material, though it is unlikely that any part of our Psalter was collected in its present form before the return from the exile."1 W. T. Davison contents himself with the general remark that there were probably such psalms.2 Driver proceeds very cautiously in reviewing the opinions of Olshausen and Reuss on this type of psalm, and thinks there would have been more prominent marks of such a period in the diction and style of the psalms.3 J.

  • Psalm 77 – “Remembering to Pray” LPC 2017 Summer Series “God in Real Life: Praying Our Lives Through the Psalms”
    Scott b. Anderson Psalm 77 – “Remembering to Pray” LPC 2017 Summer series “God in Real Life: Praying our lives through the Psalms” Psalm 77 – Remembering to Pray Good morning church. Let’s pray. If you were with us last Sunday, you’ll remember we’ve launched into a new summer series – God in Real Life: Praying our Lives through the Psalms. And, as Glen mentioned then, the premise of the series flows out of a simple observation about the book of Psalms… (One that Walter Breuggemann – a Old Testament scholar – has noted in his work on the Psalms) Here’s the observation: The Psalms begin with blessing – with a promise of blessing. Psalm 1 – “Blessed is the one who… delights in the law of the LORD… That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.” The Psalms begin with blessing – with a promise of blessing. And the Psalms end with praise – bold, rapturous, all consuming praise. Psalm 150 – “Praise the LORD… Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness… Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.” The Psalms begin with the promise of blessing and end with praise. 1 Scott b. Anderson Psalm 77 – “Remembering to Pray” LPC 2017 Summer series “God in Real Life: Praying our lives through the Psalms” And in between – we find the whole of life… the whole of life’s experiences – all of life in its’ epic beauty and shocking tragedy, exile and homecoming, the mundane and the surprising, the confusing and the breath-taking – all lived, named and voiced to God in prayer.

  • 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.
