Somebody may have told you thatDavid wrote the book of Psalms, but that’s not really the case. David only wrote about half of the Psalms—73 out of all 150, to be precise (though theLatin VulgateandSeptuagintcredit a few more to him). Even so, that’s a lot more than any other ...
We have often thought together of that wonderful summary of holy genius, the Book of Psalms. He would seem to have given everything to his harp; everywhere, as in the words of the text before us, "he was inclining his ear to a parable." To him, it would seem, nature was a great...
42For David himself said in the Book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to My Lord, “Sit at my right side43until I make those who hate You a place to rest Your feet.”’44David calls Him, ‘Lord!’ Then how can He be his son?”...
22 I Tertius, who wrote this letter, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.[g] Doxology 25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel...

God alone is our refuge and strength (Tehillim / Psalms 46:1-2) History bears out that Tyre was attacked five different times during Isaiah’s lifetime on up to 332 BC when Alexander the Great attached Tyre. Looking at Isaiah 23:1-18, the oracle of Isaiah is broken into two segments,...
That has always been an easy thing for me to do. It’s a gift I’ve been given, not anything I did on my own. In the half-light, I thought of David and remember thinking, still mostly asleep, “he wrote himself comfort.” He wrote himself (or I should say prayed out) because ...
it’s probably a little less than that (since he wouldn’t have recorded his own death … right?), but he’s the main guy who wrote down the Law God gave Israel. He’s also the one who gets credit for compiling the history of Israel from creation to Joseph in the book of Genesis...
They are standing near a 6-foot-high granite mausoleum befitting a University of Miami football player who lived large and died young. A verse from Psalms 16:8 is etched in the stone: “I have set the Lord always before me: Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” ...
