A Psalm of David. |
Psalm 138:1-8 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
I will praise You with My whole heart. I will sing praise to You, before the gods. [1 Chronicles 16:25-26 For great is the Lord, & greatly to be praised. He is also to be feared, [a.k.a. respected,] above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.] |
I will worship toward Your Holy Temple, & praise Your Name for Your loving kindness, & for Your Truth. For You [have] magnified all Your Word, above Your Name. [Colossians 3:17 And [whatever] you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God & the Father by Him. |
[On] the day when I cried [out,] You answered Me, & [strengthened] Me, with strength in My soul. . [Luke 22:41-44 And when He was at the place, He said to them, Pray that you [don't] enter into temptation. And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's [throw,] & kneeled down, & prayed, saying, Father, if You [are] willing, remove this cup from Me, nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done. And there appeared an Angel to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly; & His sweat was [like] it were [large] drops of blood falling down to the ground.] |
All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord, when they hear the Words of Your mouth. [Yes,] they shall sing of the [Lord's] ways: for great is the glory of the Lord. [Revelation 21:22-24 *And I saw no Temple [in there.] For the Lord God Almighty, & the Lamb are the Temple of it. *And the city had no need of the sun, & neither of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God did [enlighten] it, & the Lamb is the Light [of it.] And [those] nations [who] are saved, shall walk in the light of it. And the kings of the earth, [bring] their glory & [honor] into it.] |
[Although] the Lord is [exalted,] He [still has] respect [for] the lowly. But He [knows] the [proud far away.] [James 4:6-7 But [God gives] more grace. [For this reason,] He [says,] God [resists] the proud, but [gives] grace to the humble. Therefore, submit, [a.k.a. yield,] yourselves to God. Resist the devil, & he will flee from you.] |
[Although] I walk in the midst of trouble, You [will] revive Me. [John 12:27-30 Now, My soul is troubled; & what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour, but I came to this hour, for this [reason.] Father, glorify Your Name. Then, a voice came there from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, & will glorify it again. Therefore, the people that stood [nearby,] & heard it, said that it thrundered. Others said, An Angel [spoke] to Him. Jesus answered & said, This voice [didn't come,] because of Me, but for your sakes.] |
You [shall] stretch [out] Your hand against the [anger] of [My] enemies. [Matthew 27:3-7 Then, Judas, [who] had betrayed [Jesus, regretted,] when he saw that [Jesus] was condemned, & brought again the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests & elders, saying, I have sinned, in that, I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, [What's] that to us? You, see to that. And [Judas threw] down the pieces of silver in the temple, & [left,] & went & [hung] himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, & said, It is not lawful for us to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they [got advice,] & bought the Potter's Field with them, to bury strangers in.] |
And Your right hand shall save Me. [John 20:24-30 But Thomas, 1 of the 12, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came. Therefore, the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But [Thomas] said, [Unless,] I shall see the print of the nails in His hands, & put my finger into the nail prints, & thrust my hand into His side, I won't believe. And after 8 days, again His disciples were [inside,] & Thomas with them. Then, Jesus came, the doors being shut, & stood in the [middle,] & said, Peace be to you. *Then, [Jesus] said to Thomas, Reach your finger [here,] & [see] My hands, & reach your hand [here,] & thrust it into My side. And [don't] be [without faith,] but believing. And Thomas answered & said to Him, My Lord & my God. Jesus said to him, Thomas, because you [have] seen Me, you [have] believed. Blessed are [those who] haven't seen, & [still] have believed.] |
The Lord will perfect, [all] that [concerns] Me.Your mercy, O Lord, [endures] forever. [Revelation 21:3-6 And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them, & they shall be His people. And God, Himself, shall be with them, & be their God. *And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall no [longer] be: death, sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain; for the [previous] things [have] passed away. And He, [Who] sat upon the throne said, [Look,] I make all things new. And He said to me, Write: for these Words are True, & Faithful. And He said to me, It is done. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will freely give to him [who] is [thirsty from] the Fountain of the Water of Life. ] |
[Don't abandon] the works of Your Own hands. [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.] |
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.
