Only a fool says to himself, "There is no God." He has done detestable things and doesn't want to feel guilty. He has no intention of doing good. But the God of heaven is looking for those who are wise, who look to Him for help. It seems that everyone would rather do evil. No one does what is right. Don't these people know that there is a God? Surely they can't be that ignorant. God says, "Just look at these people and notice what they're doing! They devour my people as hungry men eat bread. The fact that there is a God is the farthest thing from their minds." But if you could see the future, you would see that those who thought there was nothing to fear will be struck with terror. The God they thought didn't exist will put them to shame. The scattered bodies of the ungodly will lie unburied. I pray that God will bring victory to Israel. How happy the people will be when He brings peace to their land! -Psalm 53, from the Clear Word paraphrase by Jack Blanco As an aside, I usually read and quote from the Authorized Version (KJV) but the Clear Word is also a beautiful way to experience Holy Scripture; I highly recommend it. Please use this thread for your own favorite psalms and various germane comments.
 Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39 |

Aethelred's favorite psalm, Psalm 22: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why are thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. But e not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39 |

Psalm 66, from the Clear Word: Make a joyful noise, all you lands. Sing to the glory of His name; offer Him songs of praise. Say to Him in song, "How wonderful are your works! your power is so great that your enemies fear and tremble. All the earth will worship you. The people will praise your name." Come, see what God has done; let me tell you what amazing deeds He has done for His children. He changed the sea into dry land so our forefathers could cross on foot. And how they rejoiced over what He had done for them! He rules forever by His power and keeps His eye on all nations and peoples. The rebellious should not think they can rise up against Him. Come, my people, let us praise our God. Lift up your voice in praise for everyone to hear. He has preserved our lives and protected our nation. He kept our feet from slipping. You have tested us, O Lord, as men test silver in the fire. You let us be caught in a trap that put many burdens on our backs. You let our enemies trample us into the dust. We went through fire and flood, but finally you gave us the victory and a land of plenty. I will go to your house with burnt offerings to thank you for what you have done and to keep the promise I made to you. I will do what I promised when I was in trouble. I will offer special sacrifices of rams, young bulls and goats. Come, my people, all you who respect our God; I will tell you what the Lord has done for me. I cried to Him for help and praised Him with songs. If I had cherished sin in my heart, God would not have heard me, nor would He have honored my request. But He not only heard, He answered my prayer and granted my request. I praise God and thank Him for hearing and answering my prayer. He has lifted my burden and has not withheld His love from me.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39 |

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. --Psalm 34
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39 |

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? Let him be known among the heathens in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. Let the sighings of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations. --Psalm 79:9-13
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39 |

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; He judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like on of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. --Psalm 82
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39 |

Psalm 2:1-6 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.” The Judges and Government Officials become more and more in agreement to... "Rid society of all that Christian stuff." "Let's remove the commandments and all that nonsense and make our own laws based on our own individual feelings." They say things like, "Who needs that Christian stuff anyway it removes our freedoms and injects guilt in us by making us feel we are doing wrong." But God shall speak to them in His wrath, in the day that He finally has enough of all this nonsense, He then will make the world accountable for it's suppression of the truth and rejection of His Son Jesus.
