Psalm 17-20
Psalm 18 by David: The Lord is my rock and my fortress
(David is rescued from the hand of enemies and Saul) up to v.30
God perceived as
alive, blessed, my strength, my rock x 3, my deliverer, my stronghold, my fortress, my shield, my salvation x 2, my God, the lord, the most high, my support
is worthy to be praised
be exalted because of salvation
will praise God among the nations
sing to your name
observed His might power on earth, sea, heavens
bowed the heavens & came down (sky)
thick darkness under his feet
HE made darkness as His covering, His canopy around Him,
thick cloud dark with water
out of brightness before him
hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds
the most High uttered his voice like coals of fire, hailstones
the Lord also thundered in the heavens
HE flashed forth lightnings and routed them
HE sent out and scattered the arrows
HE rode on cherub and flew swiftly on the wings of wind
when HE was angry
at Your rebuke, O Lord
the earth reeled and rocked (earth & sea)
also the foundations of the mountains trembled & quaked
the foundations of the world were laid bare
the channel of the seas were seen
smoke went up from His nostrils
the devouring file from His mouth
glowing coals flamed forth from Him
at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils
bring salvation to his king (Jesus?)
show steadfast love to his anointed & David & his offspring forever
recalls his experience with the Lord
How God respond to people
positively
delivered David
David call to God for delivery
I call upon the Lord who is worth to be praised
in my distress, I called upon the Lord
I cried to my God for help

in my distress

I am saved from my enemies
O Lord, I love you
but the Lord was my support
for it is You light my lamp
the Lord my God lightens my darkness (inner being)
YOU have given me the shield of Your salvation
God gave me vengeance
HE rescued me because HE delighted in me
Your right hands supported me
Your gentleness made me great
equipped David with strength to deal with the challenges in the environment
For YOU have equipped me with strength for the battle
by YOU, I can run against a troop (exterior being)
by my God, I can leap over a wall
HE trains my hands for war
my arms can bend the bow of bronze
HE sent from on high, HE took me; HE drew me out of many waters
YOU gave a wide place for my steps under me and my feet did not slip
HE made my feet like the feet of a deer
set me secure on the heights
HE brought me out into a broad place
HE rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me,
I pursued my enemies and overtook them and did not turn back till they were consumed.
I beat them fine as dust before wind.
I thrust them so that they fell under my feet and could not be able to rise.
YOU made those who rise against me sink under me
I cast out them like the mire of the streets
for they were too mighty for me
they confronted me in the day of my calamity
YOU delivered me from strife with the people
YOU rescued me from my enemies
delivering me from man of violence
YOU exalted me above those who rose against me
God dealt with David according to my righteousness x2 / cleanness of my hands x2 in His sight
God rewarded him x2
YOU made me the head of the nations
people whom I had not known served me
subdued people under me
as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me
foreigners came cringing to me
1 more item...
For I have kept the ways of the Lord
the word of the Lord proves true
made my way blameless
This God - His way is perfect
I have not wickedly depart my God
for all His rules were before me
I did not put away His statutes from me
I was blameless before Him
I kept myself from my guilt
With the purified, YOU show Yourself pure
With blameless, YOU show Yourself blameless
With merciful, YOU show Yourself merciful
God is a shield to those who take refuge in Him
for You save a humble people
negatively
With the crooked, YOU show Yourself seem tortuous
but You bring down the haughty eyes
they cried for help but they were none to save
they cried to the Lord but HE did not answer them
final words to the Lord from David
O Lord, I will praise YOU among the nations, and sing to Your name
the God of my salvation be exalted
HE brings great salvation to His king
shows His steadfast love to his anointed
to David and his offspring forever
the Lord lives, and blessed be my rock
Psalm 19 by David:
God's law
is
perfect
(& its effects)
up to v9
David's observations & understanding on the physical universe to see His law & creation?
HIS work can been seen & heard
Day to day pours out speech (the sound of motions)
their voice goes out through all the earth (creation words?)
HE has set a tent for the sun which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a strong man, runs its course with joy
its rising is from the end of the heavens
it circuits to the end of them
there is nothing hidden from its heat
there is no speech nor are there words
(something in silence?)
whose voice is not heard
their words to the end of the earth
the heavens
declare
God's Glory
the sky above
proclaims
His handiwork
Night to Night
reveals knowledge
(people can find from the physical world)

altogether
nature and value and functions
they are to be
more desired than gold
even much
fine gold
they are
sweeter
than honey
drippings of the
honeycomb
by them, Your servant
is warned
there is
great reward
in keeping them
the nature of God (righteousness and judge)
be alert himself
let my words of my mouth & the meditation of my heart
are acceptable in Your sight
O Lord,
my rock
, and
my redeemer

innocent
from the hidden faults

Psalm 17 by David: In the shadow of Your wings
up to v.0
Call upon God
Merciful
attend to my cry (care for my weakness)
let my vindication come from Your presence
YOU have visited me by night
You have tested me and find nothing
I have avoided the way of violent by the words of Your lips, with regard to the works of man
my steps have held fast to your path
my feet have not slipped
YOU have tried my heart
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress
O Lord, arise, confront, subdue the wicked
O Lord,
deliver my soul from the wicked by Your sword and from men (of the world, whose portion is in this life) by Your hand
vs David values heavenly God
when i awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness
as for me, i shall behold Your face in righteousness
the wicked values their next generations
they are satisfied with children
they leave their abundance to their infants
give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit (my need and God's righteousness)
I call upon YOU, for YOU will answer me, O Lord
incline Your ear to me
hear my words
wondrously show Your steadfast love
hide me in the shadow of your wings from the wicked who do me violence or my deadly enemies who surround me
keep me as the apple of your eye
Righteousness
O Lord, hear a just cause (look to God's nature)
let Your eyes behold the right
O savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at Your right hand
(complain) the wicked
they close their hearts to pity (attitude)
they speak arrogantly with their mouths (verbally)
he is like a lion eager to tear (attitude)
as a young lion lurking in ambush
they have now surrounded our steps and set their eyes to cast us to the ground (action and attitude)
Psalm 20 by David:
Trust
in the name of the Lord our God
(because of the
relationship
with God and
call to
His
mighty
)
making wishes (
present and future
)
May the name of the God of Jacob
protect
you
May HE send you
help
from sanctuary,
give
you
support
from Zion
May HE
grant your heart's desire
and
fulfill all your plans
May the Lord
answer
you in the day of
trouble
Now I know that the Lord
saves
His anointed
O Lord,
save
the King
Compare: some trust in horses & some in chariots vs we
trust
in the name of the Lord, our God
they collapse and fall but we
rise
and
stand right
HE
will answer
him from His holy heaven
with
His saving
might of His right hand
May the Lord
fulfill
all your
petition
May HE
answer
us when we call (relational communications?)
May HE remember all
Your offerings
and regard your burnt sacrifices with favor
May we
shout for joy over Your salvation
and set up our
banners
in the name of our
God
(glorify our God among peoples?)
