For the Leader. a Psalm of David. a Song. To USCCB > Bible PSALMS, CHAPTER 65 1 For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. I 2 To you we owe our hymn of praise, O God on Zion; To you our vows* must be fulfilled, 3 *you who hear our prayers. To you all flesh must comea 4 with its burden of wicked deeds. We are overcome by our sins; only you can pardon them.b 5 Blessed the one whom you will choose and bring to dwell in your courts. May we be filled with the good things of your house, your holy temple! II 6 6 You answer us with awesome deeds* of justice, O God our savior, The hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off across the sea.c 7 You are robed in power, you set up the mountains by your might. 8 You still the roaring of the seas,d the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.e 9 Distant peoples stand in awe of your marvels; the places of morning and evening you make resound with joy. 10 *You visit the earth and water it, make it abundantly fertile.f God’s stream* is filled with water; you supply their grain. Thus do you prepare it: 11 you drench its plowed furrows, and level its ridges. With showers you keep it soft, blessing its young sprouts. 12 You adorn the year with your bounty; your paths* drip with fruitful rain. 13 The meadows of the wilderness also drip; the hills are robed with joy. 14 The pastures are clothed with flocks, the valleys blanketed with grain; they cheer and sing for joy.g * [Psalm 65] The community, aware of its unworthiness (Ps 65:3–4), gives thanks for divine bounty (Ps 65:5), a bounty resulting from God’s creation victory (Ps 65:6–9). At God’s touch the earth comes alive with vegetation and flocks (Ps 65:10–13). * [65:2] Vows: the Israelites were accustomed to promising sacrifices in the Temple if their prayers were heard. * [65:3] To you all flesh must come: all must have recourse to God’s mercy. * [65:6] Awesome deeds: the acts of creating—installing mountains, taming seas, restraining nations (Ps 65:7–8)—that are visible worldwide (Ps 65:6, 9). * [65:10–14] Apparently a description of the agricultural year, beginning with the first fall rains that soften the hard sun-baked soil (Ps 65:9–10). * [65:10] God’s stream: the fertile waters of the earth derive from God’s fertile waters in the heavenly world. * [65:12] Paths: probably the tracks of God’s storm chariot dropping rain upon earth. a.

Before your great strength your enemies cringe. 4 All the earth falls in worship before you;b they sing of you, sing of your name!” Selah II 5 *Come and see the works of God, awesome in deeds before the children of Adam. 6 He changed the sea to dry land; through the river they passed on foot.c There we rejoiced in him, 7 who rules by his might forever, His eyes are fixed upon the nations. Let no rebel rise to challenge! Selah 8 Bless our God, you peoples; loudly sound his praise, 9 Who has kept us alive and not allowed our feet to slip.d 10 You tested us, O God, tried us as silver tried by fire.e 11 You led us into a snare; you bound us at the waist as captives. 12 *You let captors set foot on our neck; we went through fire and water; then you led us out to freedom.f III 13 I will bring burnt offerings* to your house; to you I will fulfill my vows, 14 Which my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke in my distress. 15 Burnt offerings of fatlings I will offer you and sacrificial smoke of rams; I will sacrifice oxen and goats. Selah 16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, while I recount what has been done for me. 17 I called to him with my mouth; praise was upon my tongue. 18 Had I cherished evil in my heart, the Lord would not have heard. 19 But God did hear and listened to my voice in prayer. 20 Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer and refuse his mercy. * [Psalm 66] In the first part (Ps 66:1–12), the community praises God for powerful acts for Israel, both in the past (the exodus from Egypt and the entry into the land [Ps 66:6]) and in the present (deliverance from a recent but unspecified calamity [Ps 66:8–12]). In the second part (Ps 66:13–20), an individual from the rescued community fulfills a vow to offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving. As often in thanksgivings, the rescued person steps forward to teach the community what God has done (Ps 66:16–20). * [66:5–6] cf. the events described in Ex 14:1–15, 21; Jos 3:11–4:24 and Ps 114. * [66:12] You let captors set foot on our neck: lit., “you let men mount our heads.” Conquerors placed their feet on the neck of their enemies as a sign of complete defeat, cf. Jos 10:24. A ceremonial footstool of the Egyptian king Tutankhamen portrays bound and prostrate bodies of enemies ready for the king’s feet on their heads, and one of Tutankhamen’s ceremonial chariots depicts the king as a sphinx standing with paw atop the neck of an enemy. * [66:13] Burnt offerings: cf.

  • Notes on Psalms 2015 Edition Dr
    Notes on Psalms 2015 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable Introduction 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 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. ". there is considerable circumstantial evidence that the psalm titles were later additions."2 However, one should not understand this statement to mean that they are not inspired. As with some of the added and updated material in the historical books, the Holy Spirit evidently led editors to add material that the original writer did not include.

  • Context: Psalm 96 Is a Psalm of Praise, Attributed to David. Nearly All 13
    Context: Psalm 96 is a Psalm of praise, attributed to David. Nearly all 13 verses of Psalm 96 are also found in 1 Chronicles 16:8-36, another Psalm of praise written by David. In 1 Chronicles 15 we see David victoriously bringing the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. Then in 1 Chronicles 16 we see David bring it into the tent that he set up for it, and there was a large worship service. Amidst much singing, dancing and praise, David instructs the people to sing a Psalm in verses 8- 36 of chapter 16. Our psalm today, 96, as well as psalms 105 and 106, all contain portions of this psalm in Chronicles. Not only does this confirm Davidic authorship for these psalms, it also shows us the occasion for the use of this particular song: celebration and praise. In Chronicles the people were celebrating the return of the Ark to Jerusalem. David had just defeated the Philistines and was bringing the Ark into Jerusalem for the first time. This was signifying God’s presence returning, and there was a huge party in celebration for all of these events. Understanding its origins, we can see better how this psalm praises God with an emphasis on God’s rule and reign, as well as his presence for Israel. With a look backwards to the Ark arriving in Jerusalem, this Psalm also is looking forward to when the Messiah brings God’s reign over all the earth. God is the true king over all the earth, and he is coming to be here among us.

Yosi said: May my portion be with those who complete the Hallel every day. Is that so? Did not the master teach: “Whoever recites the Hallel every day, he is blaspheming and scoffing?” [R. Yosi explained:] When I said it, it was regarding Pesukei DeZimra. Rashi Shabbat 118b הרי זה מחרף ומגדף - שנביאים הראשונים תיקנו לומר בפרקים לשבח והודיה, כדאמרינן בערבי פסחים, )קיז, א(, וזה הקוראה תמיד בלא עתה - אינו אלא כמזמר שיר ומתלוצץ. He is blaspheming and scoffing – Because the first prophets establish to say those chapters as praise and thanks… and he who recites it daily not in its proper time is like one who sings a melody playfully. פסוקי דזמרא - שני מזמורים של הילולים הללו את ה' מן השמים הללו אל בקדשו .

  • —Come and See What God Has Done“: the Psalms of Easter*
    Word & World 7/2 (1987) Copyright © 1987 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN. All rights reserved. page 207 Texts in Context “Come and See What God Has Done”: The Psalms of Easter* FREDERICK J. GAISER Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota “Whenever the Psalter is abandoned, an incomparable treasure vanishes from the Christian church. With its recovery will come unsuspected power.”1 It is possible to agree with Bonhoeffer’s conviction without being naive about the prospect of this happening automatically by a liturgical decision to incorporate the psalms into Sunday morning worship. Not that this is not a good and needed corrective; it is. In many of those worship services the psalms had become nothing more than the source of traditional versicles—little snippets to provide the proper mood of piety in the moments of transition between things that mattered. Yet the Psalter never went away, despite its liturgical neglect. The church called forth psalms in occasional moments of human joy and tragedy, poets paraphrased them for the hymnals, and faithful Christians read and prayed them for guidance and support in their own lives. But now many Christian groups have deliberately re-established the psalms as a constitutive element in regular public worship. What will the effect of this be? Some congregations have found them merely boring-another thing to sit through—which suggests a profound need for creative thinking about how and where to use the psalms so people can hear and participate in the incredible richness and dramatic power of the life within them.

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.

  • 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.
