  • Psalm 149:1-9 the Saints Victorious Psalm 149 Picks
    Psalm 149:1-9 The Saints Victorious Psalm 149 picks up where Psalm 148 left off in praise to the Lord who “has raised up for his people a horn” (Ps 148:14). The psalmist develops the arc of salvation history from creation to judgment. The invitation to praise goes out to all the world and ends in judgment against the nations, peoples, kings, and nobles that refuse to praise the name of the Lord. Psalm 149 celebrates the triumph of all those who have put their trust in God’s redemptive love. These are the Lord’s faithful people, the saints, God’s holy ones (Ps 149:1, 5, 9), who “have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Heb 10:10). For today’s believer living between the Hallelujahs means living between the advents. The first advent was the coming of the Messiah, the Suffering Servant, who was “led like a lamb to the slaughter” (Isa 53:7). The second advent will be the return of the Messiah in victory. He is the one who is called “Faithful and True,” the “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Rev 19:11,16). Psalm 149 looks forward to the day of final judgment when the Lord will judge the nations with justice and righteousness. This eschatological psalm calls the saints to sing a new song today in anticipation of the Lord’s ultimate victory tomorrow. Psalm 149 celebrates the final judgment that will put all things right and put an end to evil once and for all.

  • 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.

  • —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.

  • Psalm 34 Author and Date
    Psalm 34 Title: The Lord Delivers the Righteous Author and Date: David Key Verses: Psalm 34:4, 7, 17, 19 Type: Thanksgiving Outline A. Thanksgiving: I will bless with a song because the Lord delivers (verses 1-10). B. Teaching: I will teach with a sermon because the Lord delivers (verses 11-22). Notes Title: “A Psalm of David.” See the notes on Psalm 3. “Who changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” This incident may be the one recorded in 1 Samuel 21:10-22:2 where David feigned madness before King Achish of Gath so that he would be left alone. Some commentators believe that “Abimelech” (meaning father of a king) is inaccurate, while others believe this name was a generic, dynastic title (like Pharoah) of the kings of Gath. Verses 1-22: This psalm is one of nine alphabetic acrostic psalms: Psalm 9, 10, 25, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119, and 145 (see the notes for Psalm 9, 10, and 25). The first word of each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet (aleph, beth, gimel, daleth, etc.). There are 22 verses just like the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. However, in this psalm two letters (the Hebrew letter he and vav) are used in one verse (verse 5) and another letter (the Hebrew letter pe) is repeated (in verse 16 and 22) which make for 22 verses. Psalm 34 describes the Lord as a deliverer, a savior, and a redeemer of the righteous. Verse 5: Note that the psalmist switches abruptly from “I” to “they” in this verse.

  • 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.
