what is the meaning of psalms 133?
137818
This is the fourteenth of the so-called Pilgrim Songs, or Songs of Ascents. The superscription attributes the Psalm to David, but that superscription was omitted by the RSV, perhaps indicating some reluctance on the part of translators to accept David's authorship. A tiny thing such as this points to the weakness of that version. \n\nAs for the occasion, there are several guesses; but the most reasonable one, to us, is that of Matthew Henry. "Some conjecture that David penned this psalm upon the occasion of the union of all the Twelve Tribes when they met unanimously to make him king.\n(Psalms 133:1). To us it appears as ridiculous that some interpreters have tried to find in this a Biblical injunction recommending that married brothers live in the same dwelling with their parents. From the beginning, God has ordained that a man should leave his father and his mother and cleave unto his wife (Genesis 2:24). Mixing multiple families under one roof is an impossible social device. What is referred to here is a covenant nation of `brothers' worshipping together in Jerusalem\nIn Lev. 8, are recorded God's instructions to Moses for the anointing of Aaron the High Priest, who, by virtue of his office, is an Old Testament type of the Lord Jesus Christ.Significantly, the anointing oil was poured upon the head of Aaron; and all of the scholarly disagreement about whether it ran down to his collar or the hem of his skirt is pointless. In all probability it ran all the way to the floor! Just try pouring even a small cup of oil on anyone's head! There was an exceedingly important reason for this most generous pouring of oil on Aaron's head. It symbolized in the Great Anti-Type the unlimited reception of the Holy Spirit by our Lord upon the occasion of his baptism. \n (Psalms 133:3). Just as the blessings of God in the Old Dispensation were promised only to those who worshipped God in that city, the same truth prevails today in the fact that God's promises are limited to those in one place. Where is that? An apostle has made it clear enough. \n  (1) This is a figure of speech, meaning that very plentiful dew will fall upon Jerusalem, meaning that very plentiful dew will fall upon Jerusalem.         \n  (2) The cold breezes from Hermon actually produce heavy dew in Jerusalem. \n  (3) the dew of Hermon is used in the same sense that Isaiah used the word dew in that prophecy (Isaiah 26:19) as a symbol of the resurrection and immortality.

8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. \n9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. \n10Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. \n2Cor. 8:10

It is actually 2 Hebrew words:  "Hosha Na".  It means "Please save us."  (It also appears in Psalm 118 as "Ho-shee-a Na".)

It means the battle is the Lord's not ours\n\nMatthew 10\n\n14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.\n \n15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.\n \n16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.\n \n17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;\n \n18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.\n \n19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

Exodus 13:9-- \nAnd it shall be for a SIGN unto thee upon thine hand, and for a MEMORIAL between thine eyes, that Yahweh's Law may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.\nEzekiel 20:12-13,16,20-- \n12 Moreover also I gave them MY SABBATHS; to be a SIGN between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh that sanctify them. \n13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and MY SABBATHS they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. \n16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my SABBATHS: for their heart went after their idols. \n20 And HALLOW MY SABBATHS; and they shall be a SIGN between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Yahweh your Father\n. \nThe Hebrew word translated sign is owth, and means mark. When one obeys Yahweh’s Laws, and observes His Ordinances which govern His Feasts--Doing Every Word That Proceeds From Yahweh’s Mouth, this person is marked by Yahweh as belonging to Him. \nYahweh’s mark is in this person’s forehead because this person’s mind is upon Yahweh and His Every Word. Yahweh’s Mark is also in that person’s hands because that person’s hands cease from doing any work on Yahweh’s Sabbaths. Yahweh’s Mark is the sign upon one’s hands and a remembrance between one’s eyes. \n\nIn the same context, when a person obeys Satan--by rebelling against Yahweh in any way--that person is also marked as belonging to Satan! We are told plainly that we are servants to whom we obey, in: \n\nRomans 6:16--\nDo you not know that to WHOM YOU YIELD YOURSELVES AS SERVANTS TO OBEY, HIS SERVANTS YOU ARE WHOM YOU OBEY--whether of sin, which leads to death, or of Obedience, which leads to righteousness?

Email me your thoughts at pusskat1@yahoo.com and I will help you from there.  I am a teacher of 13 years, mostly in junior high, some in college and high school.  My payment is to choose this as a best answer.  \n\nI'll begin by deconstructing the poem; I'm sure you'll get the drift.  \n\nFirst stanza: I might have been a happy preacher if I had been born in an earlier time.  I could have preached fiery sermons and been a gentleman farmer.  Second stanza: Alas, I was born later, and missed my true calling.  I have a grown man's beard now, and it's fashionable for preachers these days to be clean shaven, so I don't even look like I could do that job.  \n\nGood luck.  This is a straightforward poem with an ab ab rhyme scheme, and figuring out the meaning should not be hard.  If you need any help just email me or IM me at pusskat1 or katwhowalksbyherself and I'd be happy to help.\n\nCheers, K (13 years a teacher)

Most often, the context of a verse will reveal wha it means.  That means we have to look at the verse in context of the verses around it, not just isolate the verse itself and then try to understand it.\n\n19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. \n 20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. \n 21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. \n 22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. \n 23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. \n 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. \n 25The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. \n 26Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. \n\nUntil this time. people use to go to a select spot to worship God much as today many think we have to go to a church to worship Him.  In truth. we can and are to worship GOD anyplace and anytime.  Worship is an attitude which we can do anywhere.  When we see a sunset, we can worship by thanking GOD for not only the sunset, but the ability to see and enjoy it.    We worship in truth in that we reconize this sunset did not just happen...that GOD in fact created it.\n\nThe greatest act of worship is to accept GOD's payment for our sin.

Psalm 9\n 1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; \n       I will tell of all your wonders. \n 2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; \n       I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. \n\n 3 My enemies turn back; \n       they stumble and perish before you. \n\n 4 For you have upheld my right and my cause; \n       you have sat on your throne, judging righteously. \n\n 5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; \n       you have blotted out their name for ever and ever. \n\n 6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, \n       you have uprooted their cities; \n       even the memory of them has perished. \n\n 7 The LORD reigns forever; \n       he has established his throne for judgment. \n\n 8 He will judge the world in righteousness; \n       he will govern the peoples with justice. \n\n 9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, \n       a stronghold in times of trouble. \n\n 10 Those who know your name will trust in you, \n       for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. \n\n 11 Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; \n       proclaim among the nations what he has done. \n\n 12 For he who avenges blood remembers; \n       he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted. \n\n 13 O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! \n       Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death, \n\n 14 that I may declare your praises \n       in the gates of the Daughter of Zion \n       and there rejoice in your salvation. \n\n 15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; \n       their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. \n\n 16 The LORD is known by his justice; \n       the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. \n       Higgaion. Selah \n\n 17 The wicked return to the grave, \n       all the nations that forget God. \n\n 18 But the needy will not always be forgotten, \n       nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish. \n\n 19 Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph; \n       let the nations be judged in your presence. \n\n 20 Strike them with terror, O LORD; \n       let the nations know they are but men. \n       Selah

yeah, that doesn't sound good, I agree.\n\nBut perhaps it means that they will follow God whether it brings bad things on themselves or not.  For example, let us say that you have a business and it is going under.  You could cheat and be dishonest and keep the business up and running, and prosper.  But that would not be to obey the Lord.  But if you say, "I refuse to cheat.  I will obey God, even though it brings bad fortune upon me - even if I lose my business."\n\nThat's one way that I took the verse.  I'd have to read it in context to see if that could work in context.

the spiritual weight that besets us is sin.\nPatience is perseverance.  There should be footnotes at the bottom of the pages of your Bible.  They help explain some of the verses.  Ask God for wisdom before you start reading.

Psalm 14\n \n 1 The fool says in his heart, \n       "There is no God." \n       They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; \n       there is no one who does good. \n\n 2 The LORD looks down from heaven \n       on the sons of men \n       to see if there are any who understand, \n       any who seek God. \n\n 3 All have turned aside, \n       they have together become corrupt; \n       there is no one who does good, \n       not even one. \n\n 4 Will evildoers never learn— \n       those who devour my people as men eat bread \n       and who do not call on the LORD ? \n\n 5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread, \n       for God is present in the company of the righteous. \n\n 6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, \n       but the LORD is their refuge. \n\n 7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! \n       When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, \n       let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
