Discuss Psalms 119 Page 2

Verse 165-When we love God's Word and live by it we can have abundant God-given peace in our lives.

Brother David:

Job is a PROPHECY of Christ.

Job 2:3 And the LORD (God the Father) said unto Satan ( John 8:44 and his children, all flesh and blood), Hast thou considered my servant Job (a metaphor for Christ) that there is none like him (Christ) in the earth, a perfect and upright man (Christ), one (Christ) that feareth God (the Father), and escheweth evil? and he (Christ) still holdest fast his integrity, although thou (Satan and his children, flesh and blood)) movest ME (God the Father) AGAINST HIM (Christ), to DESTROY HIM (Christ) WITHOUT A CAUSE.

Psalms 119:161 Princes ( 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 of this world, Children of Satan) have persecuted me (Christ) WITHOUT A CAUSE, but I (Christ) stand in awe of the (Father's) word.

John 15:25 But THIS (Christ death and resurrection) COMETH TO PASS, that the WORD might be FULFILLED that is written in their law, They hated me WITHOUT A CAUSE.

God Bless You.

Grae:

Peace and grace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you for the opportunity to have a dip at the tip of my tongue "of the cup that Jesus Christ drink of".

God forbid I would hurt the pure. I love all the saints. I pray for the fullness of the Gentiles and that ALL be saved and sanctified by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mark 10:39

And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

Matthew 20:23

And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Matthew 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Titus 1:15

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Psalms 119:2

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

Psalms 118:28

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

Earl, you have a unique interpretation of the Bible.

Everything is God's Will, period. It's God's will to give man freewill. God is big and powerful enough to do this, even if people can't understand it and still want to deny it. God also is big and powerful enough to change His mind and let things play out, as the Bible says in Exodus 32:14, Genesis 18:32, and over a dozen other examples.

Maybe you believe you are a puppet or marionette 100% controlled by God. Did God force you to write this post beyond your will? Does God force you to eat at certain foods you dislike or do things you don't want to do throughout the day? Does he force you to take showers or use restrooms at random times when you don't want to? Are you a prisoner? If so, does this also mean you are perfect just like Jesus and don't sin? Have you ever lied to someone in your lifetime? If so, was that God forcing you to sin or was it 100% you? God doesn't cause anyone to sin ever.

None of the above applies to me as God blessed me with 100% freewill and I try very hard to use that for good and to serve the Lord. But like Paul who faced huge temptation and struggled, I wrestle with these daily choices and decisions and sometimes I make mistakes but repent and try hard to get back on track. Paul said to run the race, not to ignore the race and sit on the couch. Christianity is an active faith, not passive. Nearly every challenge in the Bible is for us to take action and make choices. Many are warnings about choosing good instead of evil.

Freewill that God gives man:

Psalms 119:108

Joshua 24:15

Philippians 1:22

Joshua 24:14-15

Matthew 25:25-30 - Jesus's parable of talents God condemned the lazy servant who choose poorly through fear. The Bible is filled with challenges of choosing to follow God instead of choosing to follow the world.

I find it unusual that you don't believe you have any freewill to make any decisions and are merely a puppet? Is that true? Have you prayed about this? God bless.

Thanks Susan for confirming that it was Psalm 119 you're looking at. As for the "references", I'm unsure whether you're wanting to know what each group within this Psalm refers to, or, what these verses are speaking of.

Since this Psalm doesn't indicate an author, it would be difficult to place verses with a particular event in the Bible. The Psalmist only knows his situation & he is sharing his testimonies & observations about it.

However, and sharing very generally here, each group of verses in the Psalm are written under each successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. So verses 49 to 56 (Zain), 57 to 64 (Cheth), & 65 to 72 (Teth) are seen. The whole Psalm has a central thought that it is only God's Word that contains everything a person needs to know. And to complement this belief, the Psalmist uses various words for the Word or Law of God; namely: Law, Testimonies, Precepts, Statutes, Commandments, Judgements, Word and Path. And at least one of these words can be seen in each stanza (grouping). Each of these terms has a specific meaning, especially to Hebrew readers, & together in the Psalm, they give an understanding of what the Psalmist is trying to emphasize about the world (both personal & corporate).

I'm sorry if what I've shared doesn't really answer your question. Anything more than this, would require much detail about the verses themselves, and I'm unsure whether that's what you seek.

Did you mean, Psalms 119:49-72 ?

Psalms 118, stops at verse 29,

It's believed king David wrote, Psalms 119, then:

Psalms 119:49 + 1Kings 9:5, Jeremiah 33:17, 1Kings 2:45, Psalms 132:11, Isaiah 16:5, Luke 1:32, David's throne to have an heir to reign forever, Jesus being that son of David.

Hello, it seems you assumed words were added instead of assuming they weren't.

Link

Those are the letters of the ancient Hebrew alphabet. They were used instead of numbers. Koph is the 10th letter, so the verses under Koph are in the 10th section of Psalm 119.

After reading all comments, Now I understand the first word in the verse and for every eight verses are the 22 Hebrews alphabets. Why it would be necessary to add them in the verse I really do not know.

What is KOPH? Or any acronyms before the verse? Such is a very disturbing additions to the true word of God.

Revelation 22:18

Hello Jane,

I would like to suggest a King James Version called the Companion Bible.

It is research student bible and you can download it from Heavens Dwellers in PDF.

The Appendices are super good too !

Go to the Psalm and you will see the notes and pointers and explanations I do not need to write here.

Since you've directed your question to "the Body" in belief I'm a part of that.

I understand it simply as when I have been near-death I have cried out "let me live" followed with any repentance words, asking for forgiveness, understanding GOD's "Judgement " GOD's correction can help us.

Note also this Psalms might have been written by King David, 2Samuel 12:13 , 2Samuel 11, & 12, may be relevant to understanding, what you're looking for

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Psalm 119 is divided into 22 segments of 8 verses each, with a different letter of the alphabet titling each segment. Aleph is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet.

Jane, I believe the headings are the names of the letters in the Hebrew Alphabet, beginning with Aleph. there are 22 letters (no vowels)

Dear Jane

Those are the letters of the ancient Jewish alphabet. Aleph is the respective of the Greek letter Alpha (English A), Beth of Betta (English B) and so on. They were used instead of numbers. So Aleph is 1, Beth 2 and so on

GBU

I noticed in the book of Psalms that there are headers of unfamiliar words. What are the meanings??? Example: psalms 119 starts with the header ALEPH

Hi Veronica. Psalm 119 is an interesting wisdom Psalm that concerns the Law of the Lord & the Psalmist's application of it. If you've read right through the Psalm, you will have noticed that not only that this Psalm is divided into a series of eight stanzas each one beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, but also that each verse in the Psalm contains one or more of the following words: Law, Commandments, Way, Testimonies, Precepts, Judgements, Statutes, Ordinances, & Word.

Each of those words have a special meaning & application to what the Psalmist deals with. But to the verse in question ( Psalm 119:175), the Psalmist mentions the word, 'judgements'. Some loosely understand this to be 'ordinances', but since this word appears elsewhere, then 'judgements' must have a specific meaning, different to 'ordinances'. Looking at the Hebrew, 'mishpat', it shows it as 'a binding law - a judicial decision' (e.g. as in Psalm 119:7).

So in this verse, the Psalmist is asking God for long life, during which time his praises will ever be lifted up to Him. However, in the second part of the verse ("and let thy judgements help me"), the Psalmist doesn't give us anymore information. So we might be free to assume that the Psalmist was under some pressure (?) from his enemies, & in his physical & mental turmoil, he sought God's 'judgements' (the Laws which God created & by which He metes out justice), to be applied against them. The Psalmist knew that unless God moved on his behalf, all hope would be lost. It's almost as if the Psalmist was seeking God's Help to survive this ordeal, so that his remaining days on Earth will be filled with praise to Him.

To me, it sounds like we are in that time now! Please explain, we must see the difference where we are otherwise it is hopeless and read. In peace "Richard H Priday" u wrote:

David himself apparently will co-reign on earth with Christ someday and us as kings and priests ( Jeremiah 30:9

; Rev. 1:6

and others). Then; our real enemy; Satan will be confined; and eventually death itself will be abolished according to 1 Corinthians 15:55

and also mentioned in Hosea.

I can imagine today that we have this authority in Jesus' Holy Name.

God bless u and yours in Jesus name. Luke chapter 9 and 10

When Christ described the Holy Spirit it was said to do remind us of 3 things; sin; righteousness and JUDGMENT. ( John 16:8-11). When we look to the meek such as Moses and the humble such as David; we observe a man who spoke with God "face to face" ( Exodus 33:11). David was a man "after God's own heart"( 1 Sam. 13:14; etal). Moses made the mistake of trying to enact justice himself when he killed the man who was beating a fellow Israelite; and had to wait another 40 years to be used by God for the purposes intended in His plan from the beginning to deliver His people from bondage. David mourned Saul's death of "God's anointed" ( 1 Chron. 16:22). Despite this; he had many "impreccatory" prayers in Psalms indicating his hatred for evil; and asking for judgment to take place on the wicked.

In these passages; we see the principles also in the New Testament; that the "meek shall inherit the earth." ( Matthew 5:5). We must remember that God also promises that according to Malachi 4:3 His people will "tread down the ashes of the wicked." His saints also will rule with a rod of iron according to Rev. 2:26-27; and other verses in Psalms (which I can't find at present).

There is a risk of going to either extreme as will all other scriptures; where we become either too "lovey dovey" in approaching God and only quoting verses that sound nice; or of course always preaching about judgment. The truth is; God is both a God of vengeance and a God of mercy and grace. Yes; He will tread the winepress alone ( Isaiah 63:3); but there are special places of authority for His children in the Kingdom of God "ruling over cities" for instance in Luke 19. David himself apparently will co-reign on earth with Christ someday and us as kings and priests ( Jeremiah 30:9; Rev. 1:6 and others). Then; our real enemy; Satan will be confined; and eventually death itself will be abolished according to 1 Corinthians 15:55 and also mentioned in Hosea.

Search the scriptures. Agape.. Rich P.

Psalm 119:175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

Believers have hearts to thank God for life and praise Him for all His goodness, and we pray for His help and guidance daily.
