A Song or Psalm of David. |
Psalm 108:1-13 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
My heart is very fixed, [a.k.a. steadfast.] I will sing, even with my glory, & give praise. Awake, [lyre,] & harp. I will awake myself early. I will praise You, O Lord, among the people, & I will sing praises to You among the nations. |
For Your mercy is great, [a.k.a. very high,] above the heavens, & Your Truth [reaches] unto the clouds. [John 14:10 Jesus [said] to [Thomas,] I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man [comes] to the Father, [except] by Me.] |
You [are] exalted, O God, above the heavens; & Your glory [is exalted] above all the earth. Save with Your right hand, & answer me, [so,] that Your beloved may be delivered. [1 Samuel 17:44-50 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, & I will give your flesh to the [birds] of the air, & the beasts of the field.Then, David said to the Philistine, [a.k.a. Goliath,] You [come] to me with a: sword, spear, & shield; but I come to you in the Name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, Whom you [have] defiled. This day, the Lord will deliver you into [my] hand; & I will [kill] you, & take your head from off you. And I will give the [corpses] of the [Philistine army] this day to the [birds] of the air, & the wild [animals] of the earth, [so] that you may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord [saves] not with sword & spear; for the battle is the Lord's, & He will give you into our hands. And it [happened,] when the Philistine arose, came, & drew [near] to meet David, that David [hurried,] & ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag, & took a stone [from there,] & [slung] it, & [struck] the Philistine in his forehead, & that stone sunk into his forehead, & he fell upon his face to the [ground.] So, David prevailed over the Philistine with: a sling & stone, & [struck] the Philistine, & [killed] him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.] |
God [has] spoken in His holiness, & I will rejoice. I will divide Shechem, & [measure] out the valley of Succoth. [Joshua 1:6-7 Be strong, & of good courage. For you [shall] divide the land to this people for an inheritance, [that] I [swore]to their [forefathers] to give them. Only you: be strong, & very courageous, [so] that you [may] observe to do according to all the Law, [that] Moses, My servant, commanded you. [Don't] turn from it to the right hand, or to the left, [so] that you [may] prosper [wherever] you go.] |
Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine, & also Ephraim is the strength of [My] head. [Genesis 48:18-20 And Joseph said to his father, [Jacob, a.k.a. Israel,] Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand upon [Manasseh's] head. And his father refused, & said, I know it, my son. I know it. |
He also shall become a people, & [Manasseh] shall also be great, but truly, his younger brother shall be greater than [Manasseh,] & [Ephraim's descendants] shall become a multitude of nations. |
And [Jacob] blessed them that day, saying, In you Israel shall bless, saying, God make you [like] Ephraim, & [like] Manasseh. And [Jacob put] Ephraim before Manasseh.] |
Judah is my lawgiver. [*Genesis 49:10 The [scepter] shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh, [a.k.a. the Messiah, comes.] And the gathering of the people shall be to Him.] |
Moab is my wash-pot. I will [throw] out my shoe over Edom. I will triumph over Philistia. [2 Samuel 8:2 And [David struck] Moab, & measured them with a line, [throwing] them down to the ground, & he measured even with 2 lines to put to death, & with 1 full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, & brought gifts.] |
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom? [Won't] You, O God, [Who] has cast us off? [Joshua 7:11-12 Israel [has] sinned, & they have also transgressed [against] My covenant, [a.k.a. contract, that] I commanded them. For they have even taken [from] the accursed thing, & also have: stolen, & [deceived.] And they have even put it among their own stuff. Therefore, the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, couldn't stand before their enemies, but turned their backs [in front of] their enemies, because they were [cursed.] Neither will I be with you anymore, [unless] you destroy the accursed from among you.] |
And [won't] You, O God, go forth with our [armies?] Give us help from trouble: for help of man is vain. [Joshua 10:8-11 And the Lord said to Joshua, [Don't] fear them: for I have delivered them into your hand. Not a man of them shall stand before you there. Therefore, Joshua came to them suddenly, & went up from Gilgal all night. And the Lord [defeated] them [in front of] Israel, & [killed] them with a [large] slaughter at Gibeon, & chased them along the [road] that [goes] up to Beth Horon, & [struck] them to: Azekah, & [all the way] to Makkedah. And it [happened,] as they fled from [in front of] Israel, & were going down to Beth Horon, that the Lord [threw] down [large] [hail] stones from heaven upon them, [all the way] to Azekah, & they died. [Those] were more [who] died with hailstones than [those] whom the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel [killed] with the sword.] |
Through God, we shall do valiantly: for it is He, [Who] shall [trample] down our enemies. [Revelation 20:7-10 And when the 1,000 years are [over,] Satan shall be [loosened] out of his prison, & shall go out to deceive the nations [that] are in the 4 [corners] of the earth, Gog & Magog, to gather them together to battle. The number of whom is [like] the sand of the [seashore.] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, & [surrounded around] the camp of the saints, & the beloved city. And fire came down out of heaven from God, & devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone, where the beast & the false prophet are, & shall be tormented day & night forever & ever.] |
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.
