Psalm 3

A psalm of David, regarding the time David fled from his son Absalom.

1 O Lord, I have so many enemies;
so many are against me.
2 So many are saying,
“God will never rescue him!” Interlude[a]


3 But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
4 I cried out to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy mountain. Interlude


5 I lay down and slept,
yet I woke up in safety,
for the Lord was watching over me.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies
who surround me on every side.


7 Arise, O Lord!
Rescue me, my God!
Slap all my enemies in the face!
Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
8 Victory comes from you, O Lord.
May you bless your people.
****************
There was a time when David was around 14 when he stood before Goliath with no gear, only a sling and 5 stones.
He said to Goliath, You dare constantly insult the God of Israel day and night 40 days in a row, as Goliath bullied the soldiers, who took off, and he laughed at David
that "what you came to me with sticks like he was a dog. Goliath dropped with one stone and David took his head off with Goliath's own sword.
He was in Faith, then.
Seems like he's in fear in this psalm, or discouraged, as his heart could of started drifting in all his splendor that when Queen Cleopatra visited his Palace, she fainted, and it does state exact this.
A Shepard boy with nothing, but a lot of Faith. Is this better sometimes, where our eyes see not much but what is in our spirit?
And not in our lives,

Psalm 4New Living Translation (NLT)

Psalm 4

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by stringed instruments.

1 Answer me when I call to you,
O God who declares me innocent.
Free me from my troubles.
Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

2 How long will you people ruin my reputation?
How long will you make groundless accusations?
How long will you continue your lies? Interlude
3 You can be sure of this:
The Lord set apart the godly for himself.
The Lord will answer when I call to him.

4 Don’t sin by letting anger control you.
Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude
5 Offer sacrifices in the right spirit,
and trust the Lord.

6 Many people say, “Who will show us better times?”
Let your face smile on us, Lord.
7 You have given me greater joy
than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.
*************
It's said, David had a heart after God.
Here it is that he is suffering persecutions, and at the same time, offering words, of repentance caring for souls, even as a Shepard, a Shepard he used to be once caring a Shepard's staff, now a King.
God must of chosen him for his humbleness, and a caring heart.
No one is immune from temptations, as he had many, and many of them brought much sorrows to him
because of his decisions to act upon those temptations.

Psalm 5

For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute.

1 O Lord, hear me as I pray;
pay attention to my groaning.
2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God,
for I pray to no one but you.
3 Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.

4 O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness;
you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.
5 Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence,
for you hate all who do evil.
6 You will destroy those who tell lies.
The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.

7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house;
I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.
8 Lead me in the right path, O Lord,
or my enemies will conquer me.
Make your way plain for me to follow.

9 My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
Their tongues are filled with flattery.[
a]
10 O God, declare them guilty.
Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive them away because of their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them sing joyful praises forever.
Spread your protection over them,
that all who love your name may be filled with joy.
12
For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love.

***********
Evil hasn't changed, people remain people, humans with a free will, to do as they want.
The adversary hasn't changed either, who God has appointed to lead Israel, a shepard boy now a King, there is always oppostion to the hand of God.
Those who could of been coming against him, could of been his own people, or the surrounding nations of Israel.
We know how hateful they could be against the nation of Israel.
Or anyone it doesn't say.
He talked about the grave, where it says, "jealousy is cruel as the grave."
God is love, and hurting people tend to hurt others, and without The love of God, it isn't hard to covet, and desire, things for self admiration, or gain, out of jealousy.
David coveted his neighbors wife, and paid a heavy price for it, there was a lot of death in his family.
A very loving Psalm, or Poem to the Lord
Adoni
God
Yahweh.

JESUS prayes in the Garden of Gethsemane, some said, who cares, some spit on him. Dishonor sows dishonor, God is love, heaven is a place of his Glory, and Love. The pit is for the wicked, they have chosen that destiny. We were on his mind when he prayed, he paid the way for us into Heaven, by his Father's Throne forever. His forehead dripped blood, and sweat in great distress, sin is a heaviness, and darkness, where the angle had to strengthen the Lord there. Though sin is rampant and around, it's darkness is like a troubled sea, though around, Let God's light, and His love shine within us, being within him he in us. John 17. Easter a Beautiful Remembrance, and a Day of Celebration and Thanksgiving.

New Living Translation
"Do not come any closer," the LORD warned. "Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground

*********************

REad that this is referring to that the earth is a filthy place, and taking off the shoes, is separating one's self from it and going upon the Holy Presence of God, spiritually.


Exodus 3:5 Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.

********************
I think, that Creator Yahweh, wants us to take action, not just in a hidden of the heart way, in pray, but to be in touch with ourselves, and our surrounding, his world, all that is and has been created, as take off your shoes, your standing on HOly Ground. If done in obedience, our faith will abound, as a lot of things were done, through out the old and new, by act's of some ones faith. Elijah throw a stick into the water, and the Ax that was at the bottom, floated up to the stick. Livestock were breded by the river, or somewhere to increase their markings for separation. Jesus told the blind man go and wash your face in the pool, where he put mud on his eyes. Giving over the sandle, meant giving your territorial rights over to the next of kin, as a sign of he is able to walk freely, and not the previous owner. Jesus told Peter to walk on the waters, when he said, Lord let me come to thee. An act of Faith. Obedience, Faith, and Honor, are things that please the lOrd. For without Faith it is impossible to please God. bv

God is understanding, and near, and said, "Draw near to me, and I will draw near to thee." He loves us very much. Fear hide Adam, but perfect love within the Lord, casts out fear. By kalyna

PSALM 6 NEW LIVING BIBLE


O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your rage.
2Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.
Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
3I am sick at heart.
How long, O Lord, until you restore me?

4Return, O Lord, and rescue me.
Save me because of your unfailing love.
5For the dead do not remember you.
Who can praise you from the grave?
6:5 Hebrew from Sheol?

6I am worn out from sobbing.
All night I flood my bed with weeping,
drenching it with my tears.
7My vision is blurred by grief;
my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

8Go away, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord will answer my prayer all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.
May they suddenly turn back in shame.
***********
I know why God chose David now.
His heart seems to be tender.
Who says men shouldn't cry.
He wrote this and cryed or lied.
A King they say after God's own heart.
Loving, Tender, and compassionate.

Don't tear pages out of the Words of the Lord.
It is like sleeping on half a bed.
Either you don't have a place for your head,
Or you don't have a place for your body.

Christ is our head, we are his body.
Rest in the Full Gospel for your spirit,
is like Resting on a complete bed.

Life hardens the heart, like dry cracked unproductive
Earth.
It's true. The scripture says to Break up your fallow ground.
Sin's of the past,
Unforgiveness, hatred, bitterness, don't make a tender heart,
It is called fallow ground, you can't plant good seeds there, to grow,
were to grow spiritual fruits, rightouss ones, not evil.
It is very easy to produce evil fruit, from the hardness of the heart
It takes cultivating to get good soil, watered by the Word, and to grow
Spiritually, in the light of his Love,
Not in a cold dark place.
Scars are like the fallow ground, hardness.
Christ is Able
To remove Everything that is in the way of letting you grow
in his Word.
Trust him.

Psalm 8
1O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!

Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength,

8:2 Greek version reads to give you praise. Compare Matt 21:16.
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.

3When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
4what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?

8:4 Hebrew what is man that you should think of him, / the son of man that you should care for him?
5Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels

8:5a Or Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels; Hebrew reads Yet you made him [i.e., man] a little lower than Elohim.
and crowned them


with glory and honor.

6You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—
7the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
8the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.

9O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
**************
King David knew what Real True wealth is.
HIs own palace was so founded in gold, that it was too much to see.
NOt as King Nebeuchadnezzar
was who delighted in his own glory

and the work of his hands, and his own wealth, was stricken with
an unsound mind for 7 years.
God is the same then and today.
He said, all idol worshipers shall be destroyed, and one thing he is not a man
that he should lie. His Words he said do not evaporate, but are fulfilled and sealed.
Daniel went to
Nebeuchadnezzar and warned him, to repent from his arrogance
and to acknowledge that it was God who gave him the wealth, and all he had.
He didn't want to believe a small regular man like Daniel, but Daniel had visions, and was able to interpret dreams.
AFter one year of not changing, one day
Nebeuchadnezzar looked at all that his hands
have accomplished. and gave glory to his self. In that very moment he lost his mind, where he grew his nails like an animal, and crawled on 4's, his hair grew and they had to put him away from society.
After 7 years, he came to his senses, honored the God of all Creation, and he was healed.
Lesson from the Old To the New.

Psalm 9



1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.

2 I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

3 My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared.

4 For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness.

5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever.

6 The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.

7 But the LORD reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne.

8 He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness.

9 The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.

11 Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.

12 For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.

13 LORD, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death.

14Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.

16 The LORD is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude

17 The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.

18 But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.

19 Arise, O LORD ! Do not let mere mortals defy you! Judge the nations!

20Make them tremble in fear, O LORD . Let the nations know they are merely human
****************


All through the Bible here it is, the enemy. One would ask what? where, and WHo. But
spiritually any opposition against the Most HIgh Almighty Yahweh, Creator Lord G d, this
his enemy not in Love nor Justice, or Righteousnesses.
It's not a long game, for the enemy, ie, as it is finished.
The starting line, those who oppose the Lord, the next step over that starting line, it is finished.. King David knew of God's Faithfull love, and his Power. God has not changed, Jesus on the cross said, it is finished. There's only God. No other.
The Lord fights and defends those who are his.



in love towards him.

"I am the LORD, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations,
****************
They called our Lord crazy
Nicodemas came to Jesus and said how he could enter Heaven.
Jesus said, you must be born again, how will he enter as a full man
to the womb?
Christ said to him, not of physical birth,, but of spiritual.
So in the Old Test. here we see a FAther figure, holding our hands
and watching over us.
It is a human baby gets handed over to the parents,
God accepts us, as his own, adopted, engrafted, into his Royal bloodline
Into his Throne, his home, and we call him FAther, for he has created
us anew.
WE are the new baby, and must grow, so as it says, babes only drink milk
and we must grow, to maturity in the word
being rooted and grounded.
Deep calleth to deep.
Grow deeply roots in him.
He is our Heavenly Father,
He will Protect us,
and his will destroy those who contend against us,
for he said
"I will contend with those who contend with you."
Thank you Abba Father, daddy, Most high."
