A Psalm of David. |
Psalm 144:1-15 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
Blessed [is] the Lord, my strength, [Who teaches] my hands to war, & my fingers to fight. [2 Samuel 22:35-36 He [teaches] my hands to war; so that a steel bow is broken by [my] arms. You [have] also given me the shield of Your Salvation. And Your gentleness, [a.k.a. kindness, has] made me great, [a.k.a. famous.] |
And He in Whom I trust [is:] my goodness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield. Who subdues, [a.k.a. calms,] my people under me. [Psalm 18:47 It is God, [Who avenges] me, & [subdues] the people under me.] |
Lord, what is man, that You [take] knowledge of him! Or the son of man, that You [consider] Him! [Hebrews 2:7-9 You [made Jesus Christ, a little lower than the Angels, & You [crowned] Him with glory, & [honor,] & [put] Him over the works of Your hands. You [have] put all things in subjection under His feet. For in that He put all [things] under [His control,] He left nothing that [wasn't] put under Him. But now, we [don't] see all [the] things put under Him. But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the Angels for the suffering [in] death, crowned with glory & [honor,] that He, by the grace of God, should taste death [once] for every man.] |
Man is [similar to vanity.] His days are [like] a shadow that [passes] away. [Jeremiah 51:17-18 Every man is [ignorant] by his knowledge. Every founder, [a.k.a. black smith,] is [confused] by the [carved] image. For his [molded] image, [a.k.a. idol,] is falsehood, & there's no breath in them. They are vanity, the work of errors, [a.k.a. being led astray,] In the time of visitation, [a.k.a. punishment,] they shall perish.] |
Bow Your heavens [down,] O Lord & come down; & touch the mountains, & they shall smoke. [Exodus 19:17-19 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God. And they stood at the [lowest] part of the [mountain.] |
And Mount Sinai was [totally smoking,] because the Lord [came down] upon it in fire. An [its] smoke [went up like] the smoke of a furnace, & the whole [mountain ] quaked greatly. And when the [sound] of the trumpet sounded long, & [grew] louder & louder, Moses [spoke,] & God answered him by a voice.] |
Cast [out] lightning, & scatter them. Shoot out Your arrows, & destroy them. [Psalm 18:13-14 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, & the Highest gave His voice; & hail stones & coals of fire. [Yes,] He sent out His arrows, & scattered them. And He shot out [lightning, & disoriented] them.] |
Send Your hand from above; & [rescue] me, & deliver me out of [large] waters, & from the hand of [foreign] children, [a.k.a. people;] whose mouth [speaks] [what is] vanity, & their right hand is the right hand of falsehood. [Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, [who] come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are [ravenous] wolves.] |
O God, I will sing a new song to You, upon a [harp,] & a 10 [stringed lyre,] & I will sing praises to You. It is He, [Who gives] Salvation to kings, & Who [delivers] David, His servant, from the [harmful] sword. |
[Rescue,] & deliver me from the hand of [foreign] children, [a.k.a. people,] whose mouth [speaks] [what is] vanity, & their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: [so] that our sons may be [like] plants, grown up [from] their youth. That our daughter may be [like] cornerstones, polished [similar to those] of a palace. [Psalm 127:3 [Look,] children are [a] heritage, [a.k.a. legacy, from] the Lord, & the fruit of the womb is His reward.] |
That our [barns] may be full, [providing all types of produce.] That our [sheep's] [wool] may bring forth 1,000's & 10,000's [of income] in our streets. That our oxen may be strong [for labor.] |
That there [is] no breaking in, nor going out [to war.] That [there's] no complaining in our streets. Happy [are those] people, [who are] in such a [situation.] [Yes,] happy [are those] people, whose God is the Lord. |
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.
