Refine Women's Ministry Psalm 139: Personal Doxology February 24
Refine Women’s Ministry Psalm 139: Personal Doxology February 24, 2021 INTRODUCTION Today we are going to delve into Book 5 of the Book of Psalms which includes Psalms 107- 150. Psalm 1 and 2, which serve as the introduction to the entire Book of Psalms, tell us that this collection of poetry was designed to be the prayer book of God’s people as they strive to be faithful to the commands of the Torah and wait with hope for the future Messianic Kingdom. And here in Book 5 we can clearly see both of those themes. From the BibleProject video that provided the overview of Psalms, we learned that Book 5 opens with a series of poems that affirm that God hears the cries of His people and will one day send the Messiah, the future king, to defeat evil and bring God’s Kingdom. Within Book 5, we find two smaller collections, one called the “Hallel” (113-118) and one called the “Song of Ascents” (120-134). Each one of these collections ends with a poem about the future Messianic Kingdom and together, these two smaller psalters within Book 5 sustain the hope of God redeeming His people. In the center of Book 5 is Psalm 119, the longest psalm in the Bible. Psalm 119 is an acrostic poem, divided into 22 parts (8 verses each) each starting with a consecutive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The theme of Psalm 119 is glorifying God and His Word. The writer had great affection and reverence for the Torah. -
Psalm Extracts
Longman’s Charity ~ Psalms A Novel about Landscape and Childhood, Sanity and Abuse, Truth and Redemption Paul Brazier The extracts from the psalms that open each chapter were based, initially, on existing translations, however I then re-translated by going back to the original Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible: The Septuagint, from the late 2nd century BC. Prologue—A Welcoming Κύριε, μὴ τῷ θυμῷ σου ἐλέγξῃς με “Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; μηδὲ τῇ ὀργῇ σου παιδεύσῃς με. O Lord, heal me, for my very bones are troubled.” PSALM 6 vv. 2 PSALM 6:2 PART ONE THE LAND & THE CHILD ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήμφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my ἐκίσσησέν με ἡ μήτηρ μου. mother did conceive me.” PSALM 50 (51) vv. 5 PSALM 51:5 Chapter 1 καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ιακωβ εἰς πρόσταγμα καὶ τῷ “He sends the springs into the valleys, they flow among Ισραηλ διαθήκην αἰώνιον λέγων Σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field . Χανααν σχοίνισμα κληρονομίας ὑμῶν ... He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and ἐξανατέλλων χόρτον τοῖς κτήνεσιν καὶ χλόην τῇ vegetation for man, that he may bring forth food from δουλείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν ἄρτον ἐκ τῆς the earth...” γῆς. PSALM 103 (104) vv. 10-11a, &, 14 PSALM 104:10-11a & 14 Chapter 2 ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήμφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my ἐκίσσησέν με ἡ μήτηρ μου. -
Through the Bible Study Psalms 137-143
THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY PSALMS 137-143 The Hebrews built a Temple of gold, and stone, and splendor. They worshipped God inside the Temple. But the Hebrews also wrote the Psalms – for they were not content to worship God in a Temple… The Psalms seek to transform all existence into a Temple. Their goal is to discover God in every circumstance of life, and in every emotion of the soul. Philip Yancey writes of the Psalms, “They contain the anguished journals of people who want to believe in a loving, gracious, faithful God while the world keeps falling apart around them…” Robert Frost once said poets have “A lover’s quarrel with the world.” That’s a great way to understand the psalms. It’s a book of poems that lays bear the struggle between faith and life. The psalms are poetry, and the goal of most poems isn’t logic – it’s more empathy and catharsis. Author, Kathleen Norris, comments, “The Psalms do not theologize. One reason for this is that the psalms are poetry, and poetry’s function is not to explain but to offer images and stories that resonate with our lives.” This is what we’ll find in the psalms we’ll study tonight. The authors find themselves in a wide array of situations - but wherever they go, and whatever they do - they find God in the midst of their mess. !1 In PSALM ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN the anonymous psalmist sings the blues. He’s in Babylon, but not because he wants to be. A few years earlier, the summer of 586 BC to be exact, the Babylonians sacked the city of Jerusalem, and took the Jews to Babylon into exile. -
Psalm 1 the Two Ways 1 Happy Are Those Who Do Not Follow the Advice
Psalm 1 The Two Ways 1 Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers; 2 but their delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law they meditate day and night. 3 They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 6 for the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalm 98 Praise the Judge of the World 1 O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvellous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. 2 The LORD has made known his victory; he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations. 3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. 4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises. 5 Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody. 6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD. -

The Oakbridge Volume 11, Issue 8
OAKRIDGE COMMUNITY CHURCH May 2018 The Oakbridge Volume 11, Issue 8 I Dare You to Read This Book! From Pastor Jim Do you use your smartphone for more than phone calls? If you do, I challenge you to read 12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You by Tony Reinke. I challenge you to take the book seriously, ponder it carefully and ask yourself what you should do about what you have read. Why? Because, as those who were bought by the blood of the Lamb and who no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died on our behalf, we have the privilege and the responsibility to do all things to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). How we view and use our phones, particularly our smartphones (along with our tablets, computers, iPods, etc.) is among the “all things” we are to do to His glory! Tony Reinke has provided a tremendous resource for helping us examine our hearts and our habits with regard to our use of our phones. He points out the serious dangers faced by smartphone consumers. His goal is not to make every reader abandon the smartphone (he still uses his and I still use mine on a daily basis after reading this book). Rather, his goal is to help every reader think through how to use the smartphone wisely, should the reader decide to keep it. Helpful guidance is given about prudently avoiding the dangers involved in smartphone use and purposefully striving to make sure what we do with our phones contributes to making much of our Lord, Jesus Christ. -

44. Psalms 136-139 Praying Psalm 136 with Jesus
44. Psalms 136-139 Praying Psalm 136 with Jesus Psalm 136 is a hymn of joyous admiration which finds expression in wave after wave of jubilant thanksgiving. 1Give thanks to GOD who is good! [Leader] Your covenant love endures forever! [Response] 2Give thanks to the God of gods! Your covenant love endures forever! .of lords (אֲדנֵ֣י) *3Give thanks to the God The response appears in other psalms: ‘Give thanks to GOD who is good. Your covenant love endures for ever’ (Psalm 106:1). ‘Give thanks to GOD who is good. Your covenant love endures for ever’ (Psalm 107:1). ‘Give thanks to GOD who is good. Your covenant love endures for ever’ (Psalm 118:1). ‘Your covenant love, O GOD, endures for ever’ (Psalm 138:8) It is possible that the litany form with the assembly proclaiming after each statement ‘Your covenant love endures forever’ was used with a variety of repeated responses in other psalms, without appearing in the text. The history of Israel is part of Jesus’ history and so the history of his disciples. We can sing this hymn thinking also of the Passover effected by Jesus, and the many wonderful ways in which God has proved victorious in the obstacles that have faced us on our journey to the enjoyment of communion with God. Part One: God the Creator (verses 4-9) 4You alone create all that is! Your covenant love endures forever! 5Your wisdom it was made the skies! Your covenant love endures forever! 6You established the earth on the seas! Your covenant love endures forever! 7It was you who made the great lights! Your covenant love endures forever! -
