A Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician. |
Psalm 85:1-13 Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
Lord, You [have favored] Your land, & You [have] brought back [those from] the captivity of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] [Ezekiel 39:25-26 Therefore, the Lord God [says this,] Now, I will bring again [those] of Jacob, [who were in] captivity, & have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, & will be jealous for My Holy Name. |
After they have [carried] their shame, & all their [sins in which] they have trespassed against Me, when they [lived] safely in their land, & [no one] made them afraid.] |
You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people. You [have] covered all their sin. Selah. [Psalm 32:1-2 Blessed is he, whose transgression is forgiven, & whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord [doesn't attribute] iniquity, & in whose spirit there is no [deceit.] |
You [have] taken away all Your [fury.] You [have] turned Yourself from the fierceness of Your anger. [Return to] us, O God of our Salvation, & cause Your anger toward us to [stop.] [Will] You be angry with us forever? [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 mercy on you, with everlasting kindness, [says] the Lord your Redeemer.] |
[Will] You [stretch] out Your anger to all generations? [Won't] You revive us again: [so] that Your people may rejoice in You? [Habakkuk 3:2 O Lord, I have heard Your speech, & was afraid. O Lord, [restore] Your work in the midst of the years. Make [it] known, in the midst of the years, & in [Your] [anger,] remember mercy.] |
[Declare to] us Your mercy, O Lord, & grant us Your Salvation. I will hear what the Lord God will [say:] for He will speak [peacefully] to His people, & to His saints. But let them not [return] again to [what is] [foolishness.] Surely His Salvation is [near those who] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] Him; [so] that glory may dwell in our land. |
Mercy & Truth [meet] together, & righteousness & peace have kissed each other. Truth shall [sprout] out of the earth; & righteousness shall look down from heaven. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.] |
[Yes,] the Lord shall give [what] is good; & our land shall yield [its] increase [of produce.] Righteousness shall go before Him; & shall [put] us in the [path] of His steps. |
[James 1:17 Every good gift, & every perfect gift is from above, & [comes] down from the Father of Lights, with Whom is no [variation,] & neither shadow of [changing.] |
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.
