About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: 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.

Psalm 89:1-52 Book# 3 of Psalms

 

Maschil [a.k.a. Maskil] of Ethan, the Ezrahite.

Psalm 89:1-52            Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I will sing of the [Lord's] mercies forever. I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations, with my mouth. For I have said, Your faithfulness shall be [established] in the very heavens & Your Mercy shall [endure] forever. 

[Revelation 21:5-7 And He, [Who] sat upon the throne said, [See,] I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true & faithful. And He said to me, It is done.

I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will freely give to him, [who is thirsty from] the Fountain of the Water of Life. He, [who] overcomes shall inherit all things & I will be his God & he shall be [like] My Son.]

I have made a covenant [contract] with My chosen. I have sworn to David, My servant. [2 Samuel 7:25-26 And now, O Lord God, the Word that You have spoken concerning [me,] Your servant & concerning his house, establish it forever & do as You have said.

And let Your Name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of Hosts is the God over Israel & let the house of Your servant, David, be established before You.] 

Your seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] I will establish forever & build up your throne to all generations. Selah. [Revelation 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the root & the offspring of David & the Bright & Morning Star.]

And the heavens shall praise Your wonders, O Lord & also Your faithfulness in the congregation of saints. For Who in heaven can be compared to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty, can be [considered similar] to the Lord? God is to be greatly feared [respected,] in the assembly of the saints & to be [held] in reverence [by] all [those who] are [around] Him. 

O Lord God of Hosts, who is a strong Lord, [similar] to You? Or [who has] faithfulness [like] Yours [surrounding] You? You rule the raging sea: when [its] waves arise, You still them. [Matthew 8:23-26 And when He [had] entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him. 

And [look,] a great [storm] arose there in the sea, [in] that the ship was covered with waves: but He was asleep. And His disciples came to Him & awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And He [said] to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then, He arose & rebuked the winds & the sea and there was a great calm.]

You have broken Rahab, [a.k.a. Egypt, into] pieces, [like someone who] is slain. You have scattered Your enemies with Your strong arm. [Isaiah 51:9-10 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord. 

Awake, [like] in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Aren't] You, [Who] has cut Rahab & wounded the dragon? [Aren't] You [Who] has dried [up] the sea, the waters of the great deep & has made the depths of the sea a [road] for the ransomed to [cross] over?] 

The heavens are Yours & also the earth is Yours. As for the world & [its] fulness thereof, You have founded them. [Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning, God created the heaven & the earth. And the earth was without form & void. And darkness was upon the [surface] of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the [surface] of the waters.] 

You have created the north & the south. [Job 38:4-6 Where [were] you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. If you know, Who has laid [its] measures? Or Who has stretched the [measuring] line upon it? Where upon [its] foundation [is it] fastened? Or Who laid [its] cornerstone?]

[Mount] Tabor & [Mount] Herman shall rejoice in Your Name. You have a mighty arm & Your hand is strong & Your right hand is [exalted.] Mercy & truth shall go before Your face & the [place of] justice & judgment are [where] Your throne [is.] [Hebrews 4:16 Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of grace, [so] that we may [receive] mercy & find grace to help in [our] time of need.] 

Blessed [are] the people [who] know the joyful sound. O Lord, they shall walk in the Light of Your countenance. [Psalm 44:3 For they [didn't get] the land [as a] possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but [by] Your right hand & Your arm & the Light of Your countenance, because You had [favored] them.]

They shall rejoice in Your Name all day & in Your righteousness, they shall be exalted. For You [are] the glory of their strength & our horn shall be exalted in Your favor. [1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, [so] that He may exalt you in due time; Casting all your cares upon Him; for He cares for you.] 

For the Lord is our defense & the Holy One of Israel is our King. Then, You [spoke] in a vision to Your Holy one & said, Upon one [who] is mighty, I have [given the ability to] help. I have exalted one out of the people. 

I have found David, My servant & with My Holy oil, I have anointed him, with whom shall be established [by] My hand & My arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not [deceive] him; nor the son of wickness afflict him. 

[Ephesians 6:12-13 For we [don't] wrestle against flesh & blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [For this reason,] take [for yourselves] the whole armor of God, [so] that you may be able to withstand [on] the evil day, having done all, to stand.]

And I will beat down his [enemies in front of] his face & plague [those who] hate him. But My faithfulness & My mercy shall be with him & his horn shall be exalted in My Name. [Revelation 22:7-8 And to the Angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things [says] He [Who] is Holy; He [Who] is True & He Who [has] the key of David.

He [Who] opens & no man shuts & shuts & no man opens. I know your [deeds.] [Look,] I have [put] before you an open door & no man can shut it. For you [have a] little strength & have kept My Word & haven't denied My Name.]

I will also [put] His hand in the sea & His right hand in the rivers. [Psalm 72:7-8 In his days, the righteous shall flourish & [an] abundance of peace, so long as the moon endures. He shall also have dominion from sea to sea & from the river unto the ends of the earth.] 

He shall cry [out] to Me, You are my Father, my God & the Rock of my Salvation. * Also I will make Him, My Firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. [John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, [so] that [whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He [who] believes [in] Him isn't condemned: but he [who doesn't] believe is already condemned, because he hasn't believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.] 

I will keep My mercy for him [forever] & My covenant shall stand [firmly] with him. Also, his seed, [a.k.a. descendants] I will make to endure forever & his throne [like] the days of heaven. 

[Isaiah 9:7 There shall be no end of the increase of His government & peace, upon the throne of David & upon His kingdom, to [arrange] it & to establish it with judgment & with justice from [this day on,] even forever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will [accomplish] this.] 

If his children [abandon] My Law & [don't follow] My judgments; if they break My [mandates] & [don't] keep My commandments; then I will [punish] their [sins] with the rod & stripes [for] their iniquity. [Still,] I won't [totally] take away from him, My loving kindness, nor [allow] My faithfulness to fail. 

I will not break My covenant [contract,] nor alter [what has come] out of My lips. [Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He [would] lie; neither the son of man, that He [would feel sorry.] [What] He has said, [won't] He do it? Or [what] He has spoken, [won't] He make it good?]

Once I have sworn by My Holiness, that I won’t lie to David. His seed shall endure forever & his throne [like] the sun before Me. [* Luke 1:31-33 And, Behold, you shall conceive in your womb & [deliver] a son & shall call His Name JESUS. 

He shall be great & shall be called the Son of the Highest & the Lord God shall give to Him the throne of His [forefather,] David. And He shall [rule] over the house of Jacob forever & there shall be no end of His kingdom.]

It shall be established forever [like] the moon & [like] a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. But You [have] cast off & [loathed] & You have been [angry] with Your anointed. You have made the covenant of Your servant void. You have profaned his crown by [throwing] it to the ground. 

[Revelation 13:1-6 And I stood upon the sand of the sea & saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having 7 heads & 10 horns. And upon his horns, 10 crowns & upon his heads, the name of blasphemy. And the beast [that] I saw was [similar] to a leopard & his feet were [like] the feet of a bear & his mouth [like] the mouth of a lion. 

And the dragon gave him his power & his seat & great authority. And I saw one of his heads as [if] it were wounded to death. And his deadly wound was healed & all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshiped the dragon that gave power to the beast, saying, Who is [similar] to the beast? 

Who is able to make war with him? And there was given to him a mouth speaking great [arrogant] things & blasphemies. And power was given to him to continue 42 months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name & His tabernacle & [those who] dwell in heaven.] 

You have broken down all his hedges & You have brought all his strongholds to ruin. [Mark 1:23-27 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit & he cried out, saying, Let us alone. What do we have to do with You, You, Jesus of Nazareth?

[Have] you come to destroy us? I know You, Who You are, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace & come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him & cried [out] with a loud voice, he came out of him.

And they were amazed, [in] that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this thing? What new doctrine is this? For with authority, He even commands the uncleans spirits & they obey Him.]

All [who] pass by the [road plunder] Him. He is a disgrace to His neighbors. [Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised & rejected [by] men. A man of sorrows & acquainted with grief. And we hid [like] it were, our faces from Him. He was despised & we [didn't hold] Him [in high regard.] 

Surely, He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows, yet we [didn't respect] Him, [suffering, struck] & afflicted by God. But He was wounded for our [sins.] He was bruised for our iniquities. The [discipline for] our peace was upon Him & with His stripes, we are healed.]

You have made all His enemies rejoice. You have set up the right hand of His adversaries. [John 19:1-3 Therefore, Pilate then took Jesus & [whipped] Him. And the soldiers [twisted] a crown of thorns & put it on His head & they put on Him a purple robe & said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they [struck] Him with their hands.] 

You have also turned the edge of His sword & have not made Him [able] to stand in the battle. [John 19:33-36 But when they came to Jesus & saw that He was already dead, they [didn't] break His legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side & [immediately] there came out blood & water. 

And he [who] saw it, bare record & his record is true & he knows that [what] he said [is] true, [so] you might believe. * For these things were done, [so] the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken.] 

You have made His glory to cease & cast His throne down to the ground. [*Matthew 27:57-60 When [evening had] come, a rich man of Arimathaea came there, named Joseph, who also, himself, was one of Jesus' disciples. He went to Pilate & begged [for] the body of Jesus. 

Then, Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth & laid it in his own new tomb, which he had [cut] out in the rock. And he rolled a [large] stone to the door of the [tomb] & departed.] 

You have shortened the days of His youth & you have covered Him with shame. Selah. [Deuteronomy 21:22-23 And if a man [has] committed a sin worthy of death & he [is] to be put to death & you hang him on a tree, His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but [regardless,] you shall bury him that day; (for he [who] is hanged is [cursed by] God;) [so] that your land, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance, [isn't] defiled.] 

Will You hide Yourself forever? How long, Lord? Shall Your [anger] burn like fire? Remember how short My time is. Have You made all men in vain [for this reason?] 

[Psalm 90:10-13 The years & days [we live] are 70 years & if [because] of strength, they [are] 80 years, [still in] their strength, [they] labor [in] sorrow. For it is soon cut off & we fly away. Who knows the power of Your anger? According to Your fear [respect,] even so is Your [anger.] 

What man is he [who] lives & shall not see death? Shall he deliver his [own] soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Lord, where are Your [previous] loving kindnesses, [that] You swore to David in Your truth?

[2 Samuel 7:25-26 And now, O Lord God, establish the Word that You have spoken [related] to [me,] Your servant & to his house, forever & do as You have said. And let Your Name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of Hosts is the God over Israel. And let the house of Your servant, David, be established before You.] 

Lord, remember the [disgrace] of Your servants. How I do bear in My [heart] the [disgrace] of all the mighty people. [Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking to Jesus, the Author & Finisher of our faith, Who for the joy that was [put] before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame & is [now] set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him, [Who] endured such contradiction [for] sinners against Himself, lest you be wearied & your minds faint.] 

[For this reason,] Your enemies have [ridiculed,] O Lord, [with which] they [disgraced] the footsteps of Your anointed. [Mark 15:31-32 *Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others. He can’t save Himself. Let Christ the King of Israel now descend from the cross, [so] that we may see & believe. And [those who] were crucified with Him, [insulted] Him.]

Blessed be the Lord forevermore. Amen and Amen.
