Psalm 10:1-18 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
Why [do] You [stand far away,] O Lord? Why [do] You [hide] Yourself in times of trouble? [Isaiah 54:7-8 For a [little] moment, I have [abandoned] you. But I will gather you with great mercies. I hid My face from you for a moment, in a little [anger,] but I will have everlasting mercy on you, with kindness, [says] the Lord your Redeemer.] |
In his pride, the wicked persecute the poor. Let them be [caught] in the [plots] that they have imagined. [Psalm 9:15 The heathen are [sunken] down in the pit that they made. Their own foot is [caught] in the net [that] they hid.] |
For the wicked [boast] of his heart's desire, & [blesses] the [envious,] whom the Lord [loathes.] Through the pride of his [appearance,] the wicked won't seek after God. God isn't in all his thoughts. |
Your judgments are far [beyond] his sight, & his ways are always grievous, & as for all his enemies, & he [puffs] at them [in disgust.] He [has] said [within] his heart, I shall not be [removed:] for I shall never [have] adversity. |
[Psalm 49:11 Their thought [within] is, that their houses, [a.k.a. families,] shall continue forever, & their dwelling places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names.] |
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, & fraud. Under his tongue is [what is] mischief, & vanity. [Jeremiah 16:19-20 0 Lord, my: strength, fortress, & refuge [on] the day of affliction. The Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth, & shall say, Surely, our [forefathers] have inherited: lies, vanity, & things [in which] there is no [benefit.] Shall a man make gods [for] himself, & they [aren't] gods?] |
He [sits] in the secret places of the villages lurking, & he [murders] the innocent. His eyes are [secretly] set against the poor. He [lies] in wait, secretly [to ambush] [like] a lion in his den. He [lies] in wait to catch the poor. He [catches] the poor, when he [entices] him into his net. |
He [deceptively] [crouches,] & [humbles] himself, [so] that the poor may fall by his strong ones. He [has] said in his heart, God [has] forgotten. He [hides] His face, & He will never see it. |
Arise, O Lord. O God, & lift up Your hand, & [don't] forget the humble. [Psalm 17:7 Show Your marvelous loving kindness, by Your right hand, O You, [Who] saves [those who] put their trust in You, from those [who] rise up against them.] |
[For what reason do] the wicked [despise] God? He [has] said in his heart, You [won't] require [me to be accountable for] it. You [have] seen it, for You [see] mischief & spite, to [repay] it, with Your hand. |
The poor [devotes] himself to You. You [are] the helper of the fatherless. [Psalm 68:5 In His holy habitation, God is a Father to the fatherless, & a judge [on behalf] of the widows.] |
[Lord God,] break the arm of the wicked & the evil man. Seek out his wickedness [until] You find none. The Lord is King forever & ever. The heathen [have] perished out of His land. |
Lord, You [have] heard the desire of the humble. You [will] prepare their heart, & [will] cause Your ear to hear, & to judge the fatherless, & oppressed, [so] that the [wicked] man of the earth, may no [longer] oppress. |
[Matthew 5:10 Blessed are [those who] are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.] |
And I heard, but [didn't understand.] Then, I said, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the End. Daniel 12:8-9 KJV
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:
Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV.
Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning.
For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.
The Table Format:
The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.
