"Psalms" is one of the books of the Bible. It gets this name from the fact that it is a collection of individual poems each known as a "psalm" which was originally set to music.\n\nFor easy reference each book of the Bible is broken down into chapters and verses. Normally this is written chapter:verse so 417 could refer to 4:17 (chapter 4, verse 17) 41:7 (chapter 41 verse 7). However Psalms chapter 4 has only 8 verses so perhaps it refers to chapter 41 verse 7.\n\nPsalm 41 is a poem attributed to David, who was King over Jerusalem around 1000 B.C. You can read Psalm 41 in any Bible. A variety of translations are available online at www.gospelcom.net.\n\nIn the King James Version of the bible, Psalm 41:7 reads, "All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt."

It is true now and read below to soak in the full meaning.\n\n"I hope the seriousness of these verses will strike all of us to the very marrow of our being. Israel had rejected the word of God and had gone after idols. They had fallen into a depth of iniquity that has rarely been equaled in human history. God had sent various judgments upon them but they had not repented.\n\nWhen Amos began to cry out against the sin of Israel, he was rejected. The religious and political leaders tried to send him packing. Amos 7:12-13 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. This is the king’s chapel. This is where the king goes to church and you ought to bridle your tongue, round the corners and water down what you say in this place. Do you want to embarrass the king? Go down into the land of Judah, that unsophisticated portion of the nation, and do your preaching against sin down there. We are a gentle people here. We pride ourselves in our liberal attitude. Leave us alone here in the kings court. \n\nDid God have Amos tone down his message? Absolutely not! God warns them of the worst famine yet, a famine of not hearing the word of God. No judgment brought upon a nation can equal this kind of judgment. The day would come when they would run to and fro in the land seeking the word of God and could not find it. They would go from sea to sea and from the north to the east seeking the word of God and would not find it. Their young people would faint from thirst, a thirst to hear the word of God expounded but to no avail.\n\nThere are several things that are suggested in this text to which I would call your careful and sober attention.\n\nWE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT\n\nFAMINE WAS NO STRANGER TO ISRAEL\n\nFamine was no stranger to Israel. They knew what it was to run hither and yon seeking food. They had the history of their nation written in the five books of Moses and knew there had been famine before. \n\nWe read of a famine in the land in the early days of Abraham. Genesis 12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. This was bad enough that Abram had to leave the land and go down into the land of Egypt for the duration of the dearth.\n\nIn the days of Isaac there was another serious famine. Genesis 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. Instead of Egypt, Isaac went to the Philistines for sustenance during the famine.\n\nThen there was the famine in the days of Jacob and Joseph which drove Jacob and his family to Egypt to live. The account of this famine and circumstances in it take up several chapters in Genesis beginning with chapter 41.\n\nThis was a seven year famine. Genesis 41:30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land. One can only imagine the suffering. This famine was very serious. Seven years in duration and the people suffered greatly in all the lands. Genesis 41:57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands. Seven months would be a long time to go without rain. I can’t imagine the effects of seven years.\n\nThis famine was not just in that particular part of the world; it extended over all the known inhabited earth. Genesis 41:56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. Even Egypt suffered in the latter years of the famine. Genesis 47:13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of E

Now you're just lying. Sorry.\n\n20Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. \n\n 21He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. \n\n 22God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. \n\n 23Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! \n\n 24Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.\n\n\nIn context, this means that God chose Israel. Ta-da! He chose not to see anything in them negative. That's love.

Long time passing.\n\nIsa 40:5  And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. \nIsa 40:6  The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: \nIsa 40:7  The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. \nIsa 40:8  The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Many people believe Psalms 118:8 to be the middle verse of the Bible. This is perpetuated in large part by an e-mail chain letter of Bible facts, which tries to illustrate the recurrence of the number 1188 in the Bible. It is perhaps fitting that the verse in question talks about trusting God over man. Analysis done on a modern computer has yielded a different result.\n\nUsing Microsoft Word 2000, (which resulted in a total verse count of 31,102 for the King James Version), the middle verses are Psalm 103, verses 1 and 2. (There is no middle verse, since there is an even numbered total verse count). There are 15,550 verses before and after these verses. Some verse counts in the past (probably counted by hand), have resulted in an incorrect verse count of 31,175, leading to Psalm 118:8 as the middle verse.\n\nThis also would be open to further analysis, i.e. the recognized Sacred Scriptures by the Catholic Church.

There is no specific historical context or date for this psalm. There are five sections for the Psalms, with section I being Ps 1-41, II being Ps 42-72, III being Ps 73-89, IV being Ps 90-106, and V being Ps 107-150. \n\nSo, this passage falls under section IV, and that section is composed of mostly anonymous Psalms, with some attributed to David.\n\nThe synopsis I have for chap 92 is as follows - \n\n"A Psalm of descriptive praise (see Ps 113), celebrates the person and work of God in an exuberant way. The psalm also includes several wisdom themes. The title is unusual in that it attaches the designation "for the Sabbath day". The poem has four brief sections: 1. an encouragement for the people to respond to God in praise and worship (V. 1-4) 2. a celebration of the wisdom of God in bringing judgement on the wicked (v 5-9), 3. an acknowledgement of the mercy of God who has established the believer's present life (v. 10, 11) and\n\n(the section to which you refer)\n\n 4. and anticipation of the mercy of God that will continue in the life to come (v 12-15)"\n\nThe verses you list are commented on thus...\n\n92:11-15...\n\n"Tha language of this section speaks of God's contuinuing blessing on the believer not only in this life but also in the life to come (ps 23) The tree image recalls the words of 1:3."

Psalms 37:10,11 - And just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possesss the earth, and they will find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.\nRevelation 21:4 - And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

It is a quote from Saint Augustine - "He who sings prays twice". It is simply meant to describe the high place of music in worship.

Jesus referenced Psalm 22 because it was the prophetic account of his crucifixion written a thousand years before the fact.\n\nAnyone who was crucified and looking down at the earth from his vantage point would feel God-forsaken.\n\nIt was only a figure of speech.\n\nGod is eternally united in the Trinity, and can never change.

Zephaniah 3:17 \n\nThe LORD your God is with you, \n       He is mighty to save. \n       He will take great delight in you, \n       He will quiet you with his love, \n       He will rejoice over you with singing." \n\nGod sings over us! I imagine if He sings over us, He probably laughs with joy too!
