Psalms 90:1-2 Lord, through all the generations you have been our home! Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. Most scholars attribute this Psalm to Moses. A prayer for God's mercy on His people, that they had suffered enough, for God to restore them. When we read through, we see Moses acknowledging God for who He is. The one who existed before anything was formed, for indeed, He formed them. Though man was formed from dust, life in us was as of God's breath. So we ". . . lived in God. . ." even before we were born. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. So Moses talked about God casting us off as dust: Psalms 90:3 You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals!” For even with those who lived in earlier times, who lived close to a thousand years, it still was br...

Psalm 89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. God's covenants are faithful to all generations. Yes for even when those who were to inherit errs, He still keeps His promises. What they at those times did not know was that it expanded more than what they imagined. Psalm 89:3-4 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. It is not as if the teachers of the law then did not know, but they had the wrong expectation and a carnal view of the revelation of the son of David. Furthermore, they wanted to keep their exalted positions. For many including the blind recognized Jesus as the son of David: Matthew 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] Son of David. Yes, Christ Jesus was the seed of D...

Psalm 85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the way of his steps. When we read the Psalms we see more than just the singing of songs, or rhymes to poetry or writings. It is not just the memorial of the experiences of the people of Israel or the happenings to David or the other kings of those times. We see revelation born out of true worship, praise and intercession to our Heavenly Father. The greatest of all being the prophecy of the revelation of the Messiah and the great things He will do for all peoples. This is why, the Messiah - Christ quoted from there, so did Paul and Peter and others who wrote. The old testament fulfilled in its revelation by the very Spirit of God, the Spirit of prophesy. For all scriptures testify of the Messiah, Jesus the Christ. Halleluyah. John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. In Psalm 85 we see the declaration of God's mercy, forgiveness of sins and c...

Psalms 84:10 A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. We know we are no longer in the time of ignorance. God has fulfilled His temple by the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus. John 4:21, 23-24 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But the time 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. God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. Thus when we read about the house of the Lord we do not just see a building but His presence. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Thus it is not the outside of the cup that matters but the inside. Matthew 23:26-28  [...

Psalms 83:18 Then they will learn that you alone are called the Lord, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth. This Psalm of Asaph was written when there was a great conspiracy against Israel, it seemed that all had formed alliance to wipe them out, the Psalm called for their destruction. I love Psalm 76:10. .. Psalm 76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Even the wrath of man will bring God praise, for just as Asaph sang of their past victories, the way the Lord dealt with those who had gathered like that previously, we understand that it will always end for our good while the Heavenly Father is glorified. For while Joseph's brothers were planning his extinction, the Heavenly Father used the same to raise him to become father to the greatest king at the time. Genesis 45:8 So now [it was] not you [that] sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler t...

Psalms 82:6 I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High. This is one of the shortest Psalms, yet so significant that the Messiah quoted from it. John 10:32 Jesus replied, “It is written in your own Scriptures that God said to certain leaders of the people, ‘I say, you are gods!’ The Hebrew word there is "Elohim", which could refer to the Heavenly Father, could refer to gods or could also refer to angels, depending on its use or implication. However what we are taught in this Psalm is that at whatever place we play the god role we should remember that there is only one God to whom all gods must account to for He judges all: Psalm 82:1  God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. We must give account of that position we occupy. Psalm 82:2-4 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.  Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out o...
