Psalm 111 1  Praise the  Lord . I will extol the  Lord  with all my heart      in the council  of the upright and in the assembly. 2  Great are the works  of the  Lord ;      they are pondered by all  who delight in them. 3  Glorious and majestic are his deeds,      and his righteousness endures  forever. 4  He has caused his wonders to be remembered;      the  Lord  is gracious and compassionate. 5  He provides food  for those who fear him;      he remembers his covenant  forever. As many psalms do, Psalm 111 tells us what true worship of God looks like.  First of all, he says that worship is personal . It is intentional and involves all of us.  The psalmist says I will praise God with " ALL of my heart".   God looks at our hearts when we praise him. Are we just...

Psalm 110 Of David. A psalm. 1  The  Lord  says  to my lord: “Sit at my right hand      until I make your enemies      a footstool for your feet.” 2  The  Lord  will extend your mighty scepter  from Zion,  saying,      “Rule  in the midst of your enemies!” 3  Your troops will be willing      on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor,      your young men will come to you      like dew from the morning’s womb. 4  The  Lord  has sworn      and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever,      in the order of Melchizedek. ” 5  The Lord is at your right hand;      he will crush kings  on the day of his wrath. 6  He will judge the nations,  heaping up the dead      and c...

Psalm 109 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. 1  My God, whom I praise,      do not remain silent, 2  for people who are wicked and deceitful      have opened their mouths against me;      they have spoken against me with lying tongues. 3  With words of hatred  they surround me;      they attack me without cause. 4  In return for my friendship they accuse me,      but I am a man of prayer. 5  They repay me evil for good,      and hatred for my friendship. The context of this psalm is David is asking God to bring justice to his attackers who have accused him with lies.  Though David has tried to be a friend to them, they have betrayed him, which intimates that this was within the Jewish community.  If you read the rest of the psalm, David in no uncertain terms calls for God to curse his enemies.  Obvious...

Psalm 108 A song. A psalm of David. 1  My heart, O God, is steadfast;      I will sing  and make music with all my soul. 2  Awake, harp and lyre!      I will awaken the dawn. 3  I will praise you,  Lord , among the nations;      I will sing of you among the peoples. 4  For great is your love,  higher than the heavens;      your faithfulness  reaches to the skies. 5  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;      let your glory be over all the earth. We see David's determination to praise God in this psalm.  He says, "I will sing and make music", "I will awaken the dawn", "I will praise you Lord", "I will sing of you".  For David praising God with all of his heart was not just emotional it was willful and intentional.  You get the feeling that nothing was going to stop David from praising the Lord.   And ...

Psalm 107 1  4  Some wandered in desert  wastelands,      finding no way to a city  where they could settle. 5  They were hungry  and thirsty,      and their lives ebbed away. 6  Then they cried out  to the  Lord  in their trouble,      and he delivered them from their distress. 7  He led them by a straight way      to a city  where they could settle. 8  Let them give thanks  to the  Lord  for his unfailing love      and his wonderful deeds  for mankind, 9  for he satisfies  the thirsty      and fills the hungry with good things. The psalmist in Psalm 107 gives four scenarios in people come to the end of their rope and cry out to God. The first one is a person wandering in the desert, with no way to get to the city and get the help they need, as they wa...
