#Psalm 64

[hollers-and-holmes]

“Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!”

Psalm 64! In which the Lord yet again reminds us that He has the wicked well in hand. Almost like He wants us to believe Him on this point, or something 🤔

Monday Prayers Before an Election

Prayer Shawl Prayers stimulated by the language of the psalms. These prayers are designed for three “stops” in the day. A morning stop is the “begin the day” stop. The mid-day stop is a call to repentance because the Christian life is a life of repentance. And the evening stop is a benediction on the day. All of them are just a start. Feel free to wrap your own prayers about anything and anyone…

Storming Heaven: A Sunday Psalm Shouting for God to Hear our Complaint

Poets in scripture imagined our prayers drifting up gently like smoke from incense, fragrant and pleasing to God. It is a beautiful image, a sweet comforting truth. God bends his head and inhales our words and songs, considering our needs. But sometimes our prayers cannot drift. They cannot be gentle. Prayers often must clamber the heavens shouting, sputtering, and making a spectacle of…

Let the righteous one rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult!

“The earth is filled with your love, Lord; teach me your decrees.” —Psalm 119:64 (NIV)

“Lord, you love everyone on earth; please teach me what to do.” —Psalm 119:64 (FBV)

“Your love, God, fills the earth! Train me to live by your counsel.” —Psalm 119:57‭-‬64 (MSG)

“Give me more revelation of your ways, for I see your love and tender care everywhere. Your extravagant kindness to me makes me want to follow your words even more! Teach me how to make good decisions, and give me revelation-light, for I believe in your commands. Before I was humbled I used to always wander astray, but now I see the wisdom of your words. Everything you do is beautiful, flowing from your goodness; teach me the power of your wonderful words!” —Psalm 119:64‭-‬68 (TPT)

“10 Things to Know About Psalm 119” By Kevin Halloran:

“Many of us desire to love God’s Word more, but are unsure of how to cultivate those desires. Psalm 119 is a heartfelt prayer from the Psalmist that can be used as a tool to transform your affections to love God’s Word more. Here are 10 Things to Know about Psalm 119:

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible with 176 verses. It has a similar length to some of the Bible’s shorter books like Philippians, James, or Ruth!

The purpose of this Psalm is to celebrate God’s word and instruction to his people. It is used in Jewish tradition to celebrate Rosh Hashanah (which is Jewish New Year). This holiday is the first of a series of holidays called Yamim Nora’im, or in English ‘Days of Awe.’ It is fitting to use this psalm in that setting because the Psalmist beautifully expresses awe and adoration of God for his Word. Here is one verse commonly used in this celebration: “The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.” Psalm 119:72

The structure of Psalm 119 is comprised of 22 stanzas, each starting with a different letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Each stanza has 8 verses with two lines each.

There is a tradition in the Eastern Orthodox Church that King David used this psalm to teach his son Solomon both the Hebrew alphabet and the “alphabet of the spiritual life.”

Many of the verses mention God’s Word in one line, and then in the second line connect it to God’s revelation. Other words used to describe God’s revelation are: law, testimonies, precepts, statutes, commandments, word, and rules.

Psalm 119 is a prayer that includes many different elements, including prayers of praise (45-48), lament (81-88), vindication (132-134), obedience (57-64), and petitions for wisdom (33-40).

David Powlison observes, “Psalm 119 is actually not about the topic of getting Scripture into your life. Instead, it is the honest words that erupt when what God says gets into you. It’s not an exhortation to Bible study; it’s an outcry of faith…Psalm 119 is the thoughtful outcry that rises when real life meets real God.” (Speaking the Truth in Love, p. 14). “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.” Psalm 119:71

Charles Spurgeon liked this Psalm so much, he said, “we might do well to commit it to memory.” That’s a tall order for a Psalm that has 176 verses! He also had this to say about it from his Psalm 119 commentary: “As those who drink the Nile water like it better every time they take a draught, so does this Psalm become more full and fascinating the oftener you turn to it.”

The song “Thy Word” by Amy Grant is based on one of the most memorable verses from this beloved Psalm, verse 105 which says, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (KJV). You can listen to the song here.

Use this Psalm as a tuning fork to tune your heart to love God’s Word more. Read the psalm straight through and pray that God will shape your life and heart to love him and his Word more!”

Psalm 119: 57-64. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep Thy Words. I intreated Thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to Thy Word. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep Thy commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten Thy law.

The Creator and His Creation: Think About Who GOD is, and Who YOU Are...

We recently bought a car, and it came with a manual from the folks who made it. There are a bunch of electronics and features we wouldn’t even know about if we hadn’t been given the owner’s manual (in both book and digital format, btw). This book from the people who made the car contains almost everything you need to know about your vehicle. Doesn’t it make sense to get information from the…

Psalm 64:10 Being Glad

The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory. Psalm 64:10 Gladness or happiness is something that most people seek. Everyone wants to be happy and does whatever they can to have that happiness. Yet, despite all of the seeking gladness, very few people are glad. The struggles of life overcome them and destroy what little gladness that they…
