    Psalm 31 Verses 1-13 Virtual Bible Study

    Psalm 31, Verses 1-13, Virtual Bible Study Transcript Hello everyone. We are continuing our study of the Psalms and this week, it is Psalm 31. Psalm 31 is a praise and thanks and prayer and comfort all at the same time. It's a wonderful prayer talking about God being our fortress and our rock. You can almost hear some of the themes of A Mighty Fortress is Our God in this and in several other things about the confidence that we have in God, our Savior. So let us get into it. Psalm 31. The 31st psalm is a universal psalm of thanks, a psalm of prayer, and a psalm of comfort, all at the same time. It is spoken in the person of Christ and of His saints, who, on account of the Word of God, are plagued their entire lives—inwardly with fears and troubles; outwardly with persecutions, slander, and contempt. Yet they are comforted and delivered by God out of all of them. This psalm belongs in the Second and Third Commandments and in the First and Second Petitions. So thus says Luther on Psalm 31. Now, Psalm 31. 1In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! 2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! 3 For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me; 4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
  • Psalm 31 — a Rock of Refuge

    Psalm 31 — a Rock of Refuge

    Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: The Master Musician’s Melodies Bereans Sunday School Placerita Baptist Church 2004 by William D. Barrick, Th.D. Professor of OT, The Master’s Seminary Psalm 31 — A Rock of Refuge 1.0 Introducing Psalm 31 Psalm 31 has left its imprint on the lives of biblical personalities. Both Jonah and Jesus cited it in prayer. Jeremiah was captivated by one of its phrases. An anonymous psalmist repeated part of it in another psalm. When did David compose the psalm? The “besieged city” (v. 21) is probably Keilah (see 1 Sam 23:1-14). In current church liturgy Psalm 31:9-16 is the psalm selection for Passion Sunday. The words of Psalm 31:5a were the last words of Jesus, Stephen, John Huss, Martin Luther, Philip Melancthon, and many others. “When John Huss was condemned to be burned at the stake, the bishop who conducted the ceremony ended with the chilling words: ‘And now we commit thy soul to the devil.’ Huss replied calmly, ‘I commit my spirit into thy hands, Lord Jesus Christ; unto thee I commend my spirit, which thou has redeemed.’” — James Montgomery Boice, Psalms, 3 vols. (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Baker Books, 1994), 1:270. 2.0 Reading Psalm 31 (NAU) 31:1 A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed; In Your righteousness deliver me. 31:2 Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly; Be to me a rock of strength, A stronghold to save me. Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs 2 Barrick, Placerita Baptist Church 2004 31:3 For You are my rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me.

    Psalm 31 Author and Date

    Psalm 31 Title: Faith in the Midst of Foes Author and Date: David Key Verses: Psalm 31:1, 6, 14 Type: Lament / Thanksgiving Outline A. Trust: faith in God (verses 1-8). B. Trouble: foes against God (verses 9-18). C. Triumph: feelings about God (verses 19-22). D. Closing Exhortation (verses 23-24). Notes Title: “For the Chief Musician.” See the notes on Psalm 4. “A Psalm of David.” See the notes on Psalm 3. Verses 1-3: It is interesting to note that the same wording of these verses is also found in Psalm 71:1-3 with only minor changes. There, another psalmist may have been quoting these verses, or David himself may have been simply re-writing them. The theme of Psalm 31 is faith in the midst of foes, or trust in the midst of trouble. Verse 1: Israel has cities of refuge (Num. 35:6-15), but the Lord was to be their ultimate refuge. This psalm begins and ends with trust in the Lord (verses 1 and 24). Verse 3: “For thy name’s sake.” This is a common expression in the psalms (Psa. 23:3; 25:11; 79:9; 106:8; 109:21; 143:11). The psalmist makes certain requests of God so that when God acts, God will get the glory. God will show himself to be all who he says he is. God will act in keeping with his righteous character. Verse 5: “Into thy hand I commend my spirit.” Jesus died with these words on his lips (Lk. 23:46).

  • BACH, Johann Sebastian

    BACH, Johann Sebastian

    JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH 1685-1750 Sinfonia from Cantata 29, “We thank thee, Lord” This delightfully sparkling piece began life as the prelude to the third Partita in E for solo violin. Later on, Bach reworked it for organ and small orchestra as the prelude to a new cantata to celebrate the seating of the Town Council of Leipzig in 1731. (Judging from Bach’s title, those town elections must have gone well.) This piece has been transcribed countless times for organ solo. I play my own version assembled from my favorites. Chorus from Cantata 79, “Now thank we all our God” Bach’s cantata, “God is a light and shield,” contains this setting of the familiar chorale tune for chorus and orchestra. Several arrangements have been created for various instruments. E. Power Biggs created a solo organ version. Then along came Virgil Fox, and all bets were off. Sonata in E-flat, BWV 525 Bach’s six Sonatas in “trio” format are musical and contrapuntal masterpieces, but their light texture and enormous difficulty are often passed over in preference to the larger preludes and fugues. The first sonata in E-flat is particularly cheerful. Three voices wind around one another, here upright, there inverted, scurrying here, lingering there. The result is but one of hundreds of examples of Bach’s consummate elevation of the common ground between contrapuntal mastery and musical elegance. Sonata in C minor, BWV 526 The six “trio” Sonatas have it all: marvelous harmonic activity, flawless invertible counterpoint, supreme technical pedagogy, and an enchanting character that belies their devilish difficulty – all accomplished with only three voices.

    ORDER OF WORSHIP 24th Sunday after Pentecost November 15, 2020 GATHERING The people gather wherever they may in response to God’s call, offering praise in words of scripture, prayer, and song. The people acknowledge their sinfulness and receive the good news of God’s forgiveness. PRAYER BEFORE WORSHIP A time for quiet preparation before worship O Lord our God, we thank you for not hiding yourself from us. Instead, you promise to be found by us when we seek you with all of our hearts. In these times, we long for your presence from the time we wake up to the moment we lie down. Wherever we find ourselves, in whatever strife or predicament, we know your Spirit abides in us, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. PRELUDE Precatus est Moyses Charles Tournemire (L’Orgue Mystique 1870–1939) LIFE AND WORK OF THE CHURCH * CALL TO WORSHIP Come together to worship God who gives freely to all who call upon God's name. Let our voices rise to the courts of heaven with shouts of praise and hymns of glory. Be mindful of all of God's blessings and forget not his benefits. Let our spirits be free to acknowledge our salvation in the Risen Christ. Join with all of Creation as we seek first the Kingdom of God on earth. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! * HYMN 4 Holy God, We Praise Your Name GROSSER GOTT PRAYER OF CONFESSION O King of mercy, we find ourselves once again in need of your grace and mercy. We have been lazy, quick to anger, and harsh with our neighbors.
