GOD IS OUR FORTRESS, AN EVER PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF NEED

  47  To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. 1  Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! 2  For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth. 3  He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 4  He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah 5  God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. 6  Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! 7  For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm! 8  God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne. 9  The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted!  ( Psalm 47 )

Tackling Tradition 102: Who Killed Goliath?

And there was again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair struck down Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. ( 1 Chronicles 20) And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. (2 Samuel 21) So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David. (1 Samuel 17) According to Got Questions,   Why the discrepancy? Why does  2 Samuel 21:19 say that Elhanan killed Goliath? One viable theory is that, somewhere in the chain of copying the text, a scribe made a mistake. The Hebrew word for “the brother of” was miswritten, which changed the grammar of the sentence and led to a problematic sentence structure for the next scribe. The second scribe’s attempt to solve the syntactic...

Psalm 110 Revisited

  110  A Psalm of David. 1   The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.” 2   The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies! 3   Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments; from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours. 4   The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” 5   The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. 6   He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth. 7   He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head. This Is The Way!  This Is Our Prayer!  O LORD, Hear Our Prayer(s)!

Psalm 118 Revisited

118  Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! 2   Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 3   Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 4   Let those who fear the Lord say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 5   Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. 6   The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? 7   The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. 8   It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. 9   It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. 10   All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! 11   They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! 12   They surrounded me like bees; they went out like ...
