All rights reserved. 2 Psalms 51-100 PREFACE The Psalms have been called the hymnal of Israel and of the Church. In times of revival, the Holy Spirit has inspired God’s people to set the Psalms to music, greatly aiding the devotional and spiritual lives of believers everywhere. Flowing through the Psalms is a strong, creative spirit of prophecy. They produce love, joy, hope, and trust within the hearts of those who meditate upon them and sing them. When I have faced seemingly impossible situations, I have found that a psalm set to music has often sprung up within my heart. One such time was on the occasion of the funeral of my own dear wife. The verses of Psalm 30:10-11 bubbled up from deep within my heart, and all mourning and sadness literally disappeared. I was filled with unspeakable joy and happiness. The Psalms are basically devotional in character, dealing with the emotional life of the believer—his fears, sufferings, distresses, persecutions, joys and hopes. Their purpose is to develop a deep sense of trust and confidence in a loving Heavenly Father who hears and cares when we pray to Him in our Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved. 3 Psalms 51-100 afflictions. The Psalms portray a God who delivers His people from the storms of life by bringing them to their desired haven, and giving them an expected end. The Psalms cause us to realize that the Lord uses these distresses to enlarge us, to teach us His ways, and to bring us into fellowship with our Heavenly Father and His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Psalms bring comfort, consolation, and courage to the weary pilgrim along life’s journey from earth to heaven. Brian J. Bailey Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved. 4 Psalms 51-100 INTRODUCTION The Lord Jesus divided the Old Testament into three sections: the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms (Lk.24:44). The Jews have divided the Psalms into five sections, corresponding to the five books of Moses. 1.) Psalm 1-41 Genesis 2.) Psalm 42-72 Exodus 3.) Psalm 73-89 Leviticus 4.) Psalm 90-106 Numbers 5.) Psalm 107-150 Deuteronomy Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved. 5 Psalms 51-100 The word psalm comes from the Greek word Psalmoi used by the translators of the Septuagint Old Testament. This Greek word corresponds to the Hebrew word Mizmoi—meaning an ode or song whose singing is accompanied by an instrument. The Psalms fall into two principal categories: 1.) Didactic - meaning teaching 2.) Lyrical - meaning poetical Hebrew poetry cultivated the recurrence of a thought, which is called parallelism. The Jews had a tendency to say everything twice. The second form of expression is a repetition, an amplification, or explanation of the first. Almost all the verses of the Psalms have a division in the middle. The second half of the verse repeats or amplifies the first half. Many of the Psalms are Messianic, meaning that they prophesied or foreshadowed the coming Messiah, the Lord Jesus. The Lord Himself testified in Luke 24:44, “These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved. 6 Psalms 51-100 of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” Everything that was prophesied of the Lord in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to be fulfilled. The New Testament writers quoted from the Psalms more than any other Old Testament book, except the book of Isaiah. The majority of the Psalms were written during three specific periods in the history of Israel: 1.) During the time of David 2.) During the reign of Hezekiah 3.) During and after the Babylonian captivity * One or two Psalms were written earlier and possibly a few later. Each Psalm is best understood and interpreted by a careful examination and study of that particular Psalm. Occasionally, however, it is necessary to look at the historical circumstances through which the Psalms were birthed by the Holy Spirit in the life of the author who penned them. Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved. 7 Psalms 51-100 We trust that this little book will be a personal blessing to you. We have recommended to our students throughout the world that they read five psalms a day. This has proven to be of great benefit to their devotional life as well as their prophetic flow.

A key verse or key thought from each psalm is given to help summarize the overall tenor of the Psalms. Psalm 51 - David acknowledges his sins after committing adultery with Bathsheba and ordering the death of her husband. He cries out to God for a clean heart and a renewal of the joy of his salvation. Psalm 52 - The boasting tongue shall be destroyed, coming to a sudden end. David, in contrast, likens himself to a green olive tree in the house of the Lord. Psalm 53 - The fool said, “There is no God.” None understand or seek God; but when God brings back the captivity of His people there shall be rejoicing. Psalm 54 - The Lord is with those who uphold the soul of the righteous. Psalm 55 - David’s guide and friend has risen up against him; so he prays that this enemy will go down quickly into hell. Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved. 9 Psalms 51-100 Psalm 56 - The wicked wrest the words of King David, but David’s tears are in the Lord’s bottle. God will deliver his feet from falling. Psalm 57 - What a note of confidence by David—“I will cry unto God that performeth all things for me.” Psalm 58 - The psalmist prays for the melting away of the wicked—“so that a man may know that there is a reward for the righteous.” Psalm 59 - In this psalm, David prays that God will avenge him of his enemies. However, he asks the Lord to scatter them and bring them down rather than to destroy them, so that His people will not forget His judgments upon the wicked. Psalm 60 - God gives a banner to them that fear Him. Gilead, Manasseh, Ephraim are His, but Judah is His lawgiver. Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved. 10 Psalms 51-100 Psalm 61 - “Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Abiding in the tabernacle under the shelter of God’s wings, David prays that his years shall be prolonged and that mercy and truth will preserve him. Psalm 62 - David waits upon God. His expectation is from God, for power belongs to Him. Psalm 63 - David longs to see the power and glory of God in a dry and thirsty land as he has seen Him in the sanctuary. His soul follows hard after God. Psalm 64 - Those who search out iniquities—their own words shall fall upon them. Psalm 65 - Blessed is the man whom God chooses, and causes to approach unto Him, that he may dwell in the courts of the Lord. And God will crown the year with His goodness! Psalm 66 - The psalmist speaks of the ways of God—trying us, laying affliction upon our loins, but eventually bringing us out into a wealthy place. Psalm 67 - God shall judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon the earth. Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved. 11 Psalms 51-100 Psalm 68 - Speaking of the last days, “The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalm 69 - This psalm foreshadows the crucifixion, showing the cause of Christ’s death in the phrase, “reproach hath broken my heart.” Psalm 70 - A cry to the Lord to make haste and bring deliverance. Psalm 71 - This is a plea that the psalmist be not forsaken in his old age, so that he might show to this generation the strength and power of God. Psalm 72 - A psalm for Solomon—that in his days righteousness shall flourish and there shall be an abundance of peace. This will be fulfilled in the reign of King David’s greater Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 73 - The end of the wicked and the righteous is contrasted. After looking at the prosperity of the wicked, the psalmist went into the sanctuary of God and saw their end. He then understood and declared that the Lord would be his guide, and that after his death, He would receive him into glory. Copyright © Brian J. Bailey, 1998. All rights reserved.

  • Old Testament Psalms in the Book of Mormon
    17 Old Testament Psalms in the Book of Mormon John Hilton III he Psalms provide powerful messages of praise and worship . Their words Treverberate not only throughout the Old Testament but also in the New . Elder Jeffrey R . Holland has written that “the book of Psalms may be the one biblical text admired nearly equally by both Christians and Jews, to say noth- ing of those of other faiths—or no faith at all—who find comfort in its verses and encouragement in the hope they convey ”. 1 Over one hundred years ago Franz Delitzsch noted, “Next to the book of Isaiah, no book is so frequently quoted in the New Testament as the Psalter ”. 2 Henry Shires similarly states that “the N[ew] T[estament] has been influenced by Psalms more than by any other book of the O[ld] T[estament] . In 70 cases N T. quotations of Psalms are introduced by formulas . There are 60 more quo- tations that have no introductory formula, and in an additional 220 instances we can discover identifiable citations and references ”.3 These frequent New Testament allusions to the Psalms should not be surprising, for as Robert Alter writes, “Through the ages, Psalms has been the most urgently, personally pres- ent of all the books of the Bible in the lives of many readers ”. 4 John Hilton III is an assistant professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University. 291 292 John Hilton III Given that the Psalms are frequently quoted in the New Testament, one wonders if a similar phenomenon occurs in the Book of Mormon .

  • 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.

In past weeks, we have studied the wisdom psalms, thanksgiving psalms, and lament psalms. Very closely 2. The foundations were being destroyed - related to these are the psalms of trust, sometimes 11:2 called psalms of confidence. Like the psalms of lament, psalms of trust express dismay over a situation which David’s counselors felt that the foundations of the has caused suffering in the psalmist’s life. However, nation, the Mosaic Law and the righteous rule of God, instead of lamenting his trouble, the psalmist turns were being undermined by the enemy. If these were to God with a profound trust in His power to rescue attacked, the nation might crumble. Then what would His people from all their troubles.

Participants in its various programs—its courses, conferences, and publications—will gain competence to read the Bible imaginatively, worship God faithfully, and engage the culture intelligently. CONTACT— a P.O. Box 36476, Birmingham, AL 35236 a theopolisinstitue.com e [email protected] t @theopolisinstitute Introduction The translation here presented is a work in progress. We hope to get feedback from those who use this material. In this Introduction, we set forth how we are doing this and why. The Structure of the Psalter To begin with, the structure of the Psalter. The book of Psalms as we have it today is not the psalter used at Solomon's Temple, but the completed and reorganized psalter for the Second Temple, the Temple after the exile. This is clear from Psalm 137, which was written at the exile. It is also clear in that psalms by David are found scattered throughout the whole psalter. The psalter used in Solomon's Temple may well have been arranged quite differently, but while that psalter was inspired and authoritative for that time, what we have today is a rearranged and completed psalter, equally inspired and authoritative, as well as final. We don't know whom God inspired to produce the final psalter. We can guess at Ezra, since he was a priest, and much involved with setting up the Second Temple order right after the return from Babylon.

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.

  • Introduction to the Book of Psalms
    (1) Lessons from the Psalms Introduction to the Book of Psalms “Scripture speaks to us; the Psalms speak for us.” And, among all the books, the Psalter has certainly a very special grace, a choiceness of quality well worthy to be pondered; for, besides the characteristics which it shares with others, it has this peculiar marvel of its own, that within it are represented and portrayed in all their great variety the movements of the human soul. It is like a picture, in which you see yourself portrayed and, seeing, may understand and consequently form yourself upon the pattern given. Elsewhere in the Bible you read only that the Law commands this or that to be done, you listen to the Prophets to learn about the Saviour’s coming or you turn to the historical books to learn the doings of the kings and holy men; but in the Psalter, besides all these things, you learn. about yourself You find depicted in it all the movements of your soul, all its changes, its ups and downs, its failures and recoveries. Moreover, whatever your particular need or trouble, from this same book you can select a form of words to fit it, so that you do not merely hear and then pass on but learn the way to remedy your ill…. And herein is yet another strange thing about the Psalms. In the other books of Scripture we read or hear the words of holy men as belonging only to those who spoke them, not at all as though they were our own; and in the same way the doings there narrated are to us material for wonder and examples to be followed, but not in any sense things we have done ourselves.

  • Psalms 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Psalms 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is Tehillim, which means "praise songs." The title adopted by the Septuagint translators for their Greek version was Psalmoi meaning "songs to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument." This Greek word translates the Hebrew word mizmor that occurs in the titles of 57 of the psalms. In time, the Greek word psalmoi came to mean "songs of praise" without reference to stringed accompaniment. The English translators transliterated the Greek title, resulting in the title "Psalms" in English Bibles. WRITERS The texts of the individual psalms do not usually indicate who wrote them. Psalm 72:20 seems to be an exception, but this verse was probably an early editorial addition, referring to the preceding collection of Davidic psalms, of which Psalm 72, or 71, was the last.1 However, some of the titles of the individual psalms do contain information about the writers. The titles occur in English versions after the heading (e.g., "Psalm 1") and before the first verse. They were usually the first verse in the Hebrew Bible. Consequently, the numbering of the verses in the Hebrew and English Bibles is often different, the first verse in the Septuagint and English texts usually being the second verse in the Hebrew text, when the psalm has a title. 1See Gleason L. Archer Jr., A Survey of Old Testament Introduction, p. 439. Copyright Ó 2021 by Thomas L. Constable www.soniclight.com 2 Dr. Constable's Notes on Psalms 2021 Edition "… there is considerable circumstantial evidence that the psalm titles were later additions."1 However, one should not understand this statement to mean that they are not inspired.
