A Psalm o f David to the Chief Musician. |
Psalm 140:1-13 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O Lord, deliver me from the evil man, & [safeguard] me from the violent man, & [those who] imagine [wickedness] in their heart. [2 Samuel 22:2-4 And [David] said, The Lord Is my Rock, & my fortress, & my deliverer. *I will trust in Him, the God of my Rock. He is my shield, & the horn of my Salvation, my high tower, & my refuge, my [Savior,] You [save] me from violence. I will call on the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised, so I shall be saved from [my] enemies.] |
They are continually gathered together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent, [a.k.a. snake.] [Cobra's] poison is under their lips. Selah. [Psalm 36:1-3 The [sinfulness] of the wicked, [says] within my heart, that there is no fear, [a.k.a. respect,] of God, before His eyes. For he [flatters] himself in his own eyes, until his [sin is] found to be hateful, [a.k.a. despicable.] The words [from] his mouth are [sinful, & deceitful.] He has [stopped being] wise, & [doing] good.] |
O Lord, keep me from the hands of the wicked, & [safeguard] me from the violent man; who have [planned] to overthrow my goings. [Psalm 17:5-7 In Your paths, hold up my goings, [so] that my footsteps [don't] slip. I have called upon You, for You [will] hear me. O God, [lean] Your ear to me, & hear my speech. [Demonstrate] Your [marvelous] loving kindness, O You [Who] by Your right hand [save those who] put their trust in You, from those [who] rise up against them.] |
The proud have [hidden] a snare & [ropes] for me. They have spread a net by the [roadside.] They have set [traps] for me. Selah. I said to the Lord, You [are] my God. Hear the [sound] of my [prayers,] O Lord. [Psalm 57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; & my soul is bowed down. They have [dug] a pit before me, [in which] they [have] fallen into the [middle] themselves. Selah.] |
O God, the Lord, the strength of my Salvation, You [have] covered my head [during] the day of battle. O Lord, [don't] grant the desires of the wicked, & [don't] [allow] his wicked [schemes to progress,] lest they exalt themselves. Selah. [Psalm 10:6-9 He [has] said in his heart, I shall not be [removed,] for I shall never be in adversity, [a.k.a. misfortune.] His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, & fraud. Under his tongue is: mischief, & vanity. He [sits] in the lurking places of villages, & he [murders] the innocent in the secret places. His eyes are [secretly] set against the poor. He secretly [lies] in wait, [like] a lion in his den. He [lies] in wait to catch the poor. He [does] catch the poor, when he [draws] him into his net, [a.k.a. trap.] |
As for the [leader] of those [who surround around] me, let them [be] [covered] [with] the mischief of their own lips. Let burning coals fall upon them, & let them be cast into the fire, & into deep pits, [so] that they [don't] rise up again. [Psalm 11:4-6 The Lord is in His Holy Temple, & the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes [see,] & His eyelids [test,] the children of men. The Lord [tests] the righteous, but His soul [hates,] the wicked, & him who [loves] violence. He shall rain: snares, fire, brimstone, & [a] horrible [storm] upon the wicked. This shall be the portion of their cup.] |
[Don't] let [someone who] [speaks] evil be established [on] the earth. Evil shall hunt, to overthrow the violent man. I know that the Lord will maintain the [case] of the afflicted, & the [rights] of the poor. |
[Revelation 7:15-18 Therefore, they are before the throne of God, & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who sits] on the throne shall dwell among them. *They shall no [longer] hunger, & neither thirst any more. Neither shall the [sunlight,] nor any heat [scorch] them. |
*For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, & shall lead them to Fountains of Living Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.] |
Surely, the righteous shall give thanks to Your Name, & the upright shall dwell in Your presence. |
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.
