Chapter a Day is now reading the Psalms

[agamemnonoftroy]

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Psalms

On Chapter a Day we have got as far as Psalm 4

But everyone's favourite Psalm is Psalm 23

Psalm 23 has been made into many songs and hymns.

Psalm 23 also is read a funerals and other Christian events.

Psalm 23 King James Version (KJV)

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Good evening Dave

I am here in the UK. I recently downloaded Dr. Bill Creasy's lectures on the Psalms

Psalms Part 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author: Dr. Bill Creasy
Logos Bible Study
Running Time: 8 h 43 min

Psalms Part 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running Time: 7 h 59 min

The Psalms have been the prayer book of Israel for the past 3,000 years and the prayer book of the church for the past 2,000 years. The Psalms explore every possible response we can have to God, from the highest awe to the deepest love, from the darkest despair to icy anger. In the Psalms, we join David as we plumb the very depths of our hearts in our relationship with God. Join Logos Bible Study as Dr. Bill Creasy explores the Psalms, a journey through the poetry of experience.

I am listening to the actor David Suchet narrating Psalm 4.

Abba is grieved because His people have turned to other gods.

May we all lie down in peace this night and sleep well as David prayed:

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
