The first psalm is about the perfect man. the title is " The way of the righteous and the end of the ungodly." The first verse draws the line in the sand between them. The godly man does not listen to the council of sinners, nor sit with them nor be with them. The godly delight in the law of the Lord and meditates on it day and night. This short psalm ends by saying that God knows the way of the godly and the ungodly shall perish !!
In the second psalm we see the camera focus on man and then turn towards heaven to see God's reaction. On earth the kings and rulers believe they are in charge and make all of their plans, yet in heaven God is laughing. God has given the earth and all that is in them to his Son and instructs him that He should break them to pieces like a potters vessel. The psalm ends by sage advise to the worlds leaders... serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling lest you be crushed to pieces !! The last line reads " Blessed are those who put their trust in Him."

Introduction To Psalms
July 21, 2016
Welcome to our new blog on the book of Psalms. Each week we will cover some of the psalms and look at each a little closer.There are 150 psalms and they are located in the middle of your bible. This is a books of songs. Imagine picking up a song book in church and reading the words....you might learn some things but the meaning would not be there unless you knew the story behind each song.
It has been said that every human experience and every human feeling is recorded in the book of psalms !!!The psalms have been arranged in a very specific order. The order can be seen as a parallel to the Pentateuch. The very first psalm is about the perfect man. From there we will follow man and his experiences, feelings, and sin through history as seen by God and man.
We will study and record our study and notes on a weekly basis. I hope this blog will be a blessing to you and as usual if you would like to join us in person for class, contact me and we will be happy to have you ! May God bless you and us on our journey through the psalms !!
