Discuss Psalms 37 Page 4

The Book of Psalms is a collection of lyrical poems written by a number of authors. The Book was originally entitled, "Tehillim" which, in Hebrew, means 'Praise Songs'. The English title, 'Psalms' originated from the Greek title, 'Psalmoi' & also meant 'Songs of Praise'.

The Psalms became the hymnal of God's people, with its words often set to music, but not always. The Psalms expressed the authors' emotion to God or about Him, and different Psalms were written to communicate the author's feeling & emotions about the situation they might have been experiencing. That's why the Psalms are so treasured through the ages as they often reflect what the person who is reading them might also be going through & also to encourage him to still bless the Lord in spite of the situation.

But to your question: most of the Psalms were written by King David (73 Psalms we know of, maybe more). Asaph wrote 12; Korah 10; Moses 1; King Solomon 2; Ethan & Heman 2 each; the remaining Psalms have not been given their author's names.

If you can, you can read the narrative in the O.T. books that give background to the writing of a particular Psalm. If you have a Study Bible, often a reference will be given in the margin or the notes at the bottom. Otherwise, the internet might also give you help. But to start you off: Read 1 Samuel 19:10.11 & then read Psalm 59; 1 Samuel 21:10-15 with Psalm 56; 1 Samuel 21:10 to 22:2 with Psalm 34; 1 Samuel 22:9 with Psalm 52. This helps to understand the Psalms a little better.

Please tell me who wrote the psalms?

Because heaven will be our home for eternity as the word of god promises, the scripture says that the meek shall inherit the earth, means that those who forgo worldly power will be rewarded in the kingdom of heaven

My heart was made clean and the Lord's law abides in my meekness, I have inherited His earth and long to be even closer, like a marriage of two.

If the bible tells us the righteous will inherit the land then why is that Christians are focuseing on heaven .

In times like these we need a Savior... That song is in my spirit this morning. So much adversity is now happening in my life. BUT God, through prayer has brought me out of the troubles--some I caused when I was young and others as I got Saved and older. He reminded me of the scripture, Psalm 37:25. "I have been young, now am old yet have I not seen the righteous for- saken, nor his seed begging bread."

Let's all as God says, "Remember Me",

I am the Lord God your Savior.

Rom 10:17-So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Living: 2Co 5:7-(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Rom 1:17-For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Praying: Jude 1:20-But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Action: Here are some more faith scriptures for you to read and study. God Bless!

James 2:1-26 and the whole chapter of Hebrews 11.

God is unfailing and just, all we need to do is to believe in him and leave our worries in his hands. He will take care of our needs and will not leave us at the mercy of the wicked. The wicked will have their day of judgement, and judgement belongs to God, and only God.

That is the Christian thing to do. But sometimes when we are groaning under the stress they put us through, we forget and just want them removed. You wished your enemy the best.

I took the Lord at a His Word...

Pray for your enemies. Bless those who curse you and abuse you.

So I did :D. I asked God to give them a promotion. It works!

Yes, I can attest to that. I too have prayed for mean bosses to be removed, and it happened more than once. They were transferred to a different department. God defends the righteous. Let us continue to stand on his word. He will defend His children.

Hello, I believe you answered your own question. Reading God's Word with an open seeking heart builds faith. Also, believing, praying, and applying what you read. God bless!

How can I build up my faith through daily studying of the word?

Inspite that there is a virus worldwide now that we are still reading his word let's just trust in the LORD as always.

Amen T Nelson

Hi Diane,

Thanks for sharing your heartache...it is so hard when young people who have chosen God's way, become discouraged and lose heart in their Christian lives. And when they express themselves thru anger, it makes it even sadder and hard to know how to help them! But there is so much power in a mother's prayer, and I can sense that you love him and pray a lot for him. Keep that up, we also will pray for him. And for you too, that you can keep your faith while God keeps working in your son's life.

I love today's verse of the day, and it is so fitting here "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." Psalms 37:5

God bless!

Carl

Amen! To T Nelson comment, for our Lord Jesus is our only salvation,trust only in Him,because the enemy is upon the righteous in these last and evil days the children of God are going to be tested.

Jesus said pray for your enemies. I used to pray for mean bosses and co-workers to be Promoted and guess what? Everyone of them was. :D

I have been having problems in a new department that is hostile. I am the target and I laid awake two nights ago restless and prayed. God led me to Psalm 37 & 38 also! Today, I have peace with the situation know that God is with me through it all. Hang in there!

R Rev: A beautiful Psalm for our assurance & confidence both now & into the future. I'm glad that you have received it from the LORD as a special application & encouragement in your life. May He bless you & reveal more of Himself to you in the coming days.

I suspect a betrayal is brewing against me on my job. Over the last couple weeks, this suspicion has continuously come to me, but the Lord brought this Psalm to mind, and it gave me peace. He also reminded me that no weapon formed against me shall prosper; therefore, I rest in his love, protection, and peace, and I know that He will cover me and keep me safe from the evildoers and their plans.

Thank you for these Bible verse, I was feeling so sad this morning with just everyday things that's going on in my life, feeling depressed down and out, And I know that God is a provider for me because he has blessed me so many times in my life and he is still blessing me. But sometimes the enemy comes in to try and discourages you. Thank God for his son Jesus. So I thank you for these bible verse. God bless you

Exactly, lets not make the Republicans to be without sin really - you can't pick and choose your sins according to your political belief.

My pray when the enemie troubles me thank you jesus.

So what I think I understood from the comment about Democrats is that ALL Democrats are bad implying that all Republicans are good? Read the chapter again and ask for understanding.

I love PSALMS 37 fret not, it pays to trust the Bible all the way and to lean not to our understanding I was preaching in a revival one time and this lady handed me note and it was PSLAM 37. Someone did not like for me to preach obeying the Bible in action so they rejected it.

This is one of my favorite Psalms, It blesses my soul. In times of testing with ungrateful relatives after my Kindness and help. Thank God for His Words.

I am so glad to have read these verses again because they hold true of what Jesus has said all along. We can not serve two masters and expect to get into heaven. We are our own worst enemy. God has given us the map to salvation yet we rely on a man to make things right on this earth. It takes a village to raise children but it takes God to raise adults. Politicians never adhere to God's mandates.
