Psalms 137 – 139 The psalm written about being taken captive by Babylon was very poignant.

Psalms 133 – 136 Was David’s psalm about brethren dwelling in unity a response to strife within his house as was common in the later end of his life? This psalm about the everlasting mercy of Heavenly Father is accurate doctrinally but poetically lacking in any sophistication or value. It sounds as if it were…

Psalms 125 – 132 I have heard pieces from psalm 127 but I like the whole thing. I find it interesting that it starts off talking about building a house and keeping a city but finishes by talking about what a blessing from the Lord children are.

Psalms 120 – 124 I wonder what it means when these are called “song{s} of degrees.” They certainly are short.

Psalm 119: nun – tau (105 – 176) I get the feeling from reading this (and considering the details of the artistic elements that appear in the Hebrew rendering of it) that this psalm was a true labor of love by its author—surely his magnum opus.

If every child of Israel were taught Psalm 115 from their cradle they would have a decent spiritual foundation for their life. Psalm 118 does…

Psalms 110 – 113 I have to remind myself of two things with regard to the high esteem in which David is still generally held. First, many people do not know or recognize him to be vindictive. Second, the Lord has made and kept great promises to David and his posterity.

Psalms 108 – 109 Here are two more psalms of David. In reading them they sound like the psalms of David. They definitely have his style – vindictive towards his enemies and either pathetic or sugary towards the Lord. David as a young man was amazing but less Nd less do I like the king…

Psalms 106 – 107 I don’t think I have ever seen a concise recitation like this showing how unfaithful the children of Israel were to their God. We can sacrifice our children even without physically killing them as we teach them to follow the course of man and value them below the things of the…
