Psalms 61:2 From the end of the Earth will I cry unto you. When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 

Psalms 61:3 For you have been a shelter for me and a strong tower from the enemy.

Applies both physically and spiritually. Spiritually in that, we come with two natures and often go back and forth into which one is in accord with our thoughts at the time. In meditation is the shelter and source of strength.

Psalms 18:2-6.

Psalms 61:4 I will abide in your tabernacle for ever. I will trust in the covert of your wings. Selah. 

Psalms 61:5 For you, O God, has heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.

Psalms 62:1,2 <To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.> Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

Psalms 62:3,4 How long will you imagine mischief against a man? You shall be slain all of you. As a bowing wall shall you be and as a tottering fence. They only consult to cast him down from his excellency. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

Psalms 62:5-7 My soul, wait you only upon God, for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defence. I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.

Psalms 62:8.Trust in him at all times you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Be open and honest, but wise; example.
Proverbs 30:5. Nahum 1:7; more.

Psalms 62:9 Surely men of low degree are vanity and men of high degree are a lie, both to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

Closer to the original 'Both the small and great of man are vanity':.Psalms 39:5,11. That is, most of humanity's acts are from low consciousness and as such are acts of emptiness when it comes to anything spiritually substantial.

Psalms 62:10 Trust not in oppression and become not vain in robbery.(taking away things by force; you gain something by taking it from others and this makes you feel great, but this is not good). If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

Closer to the original:.'Avoid using cruel methods involving greed by setting bearing fruit on the inner man.'

How to keep yourself in balance here:.Psalms 16:11.

Psalms 62:11 God has spoken once; twice have I heard this, that power belongs unto God.

Isaiah 59:1.

Psalms 62:12 Also unto you, O Lord, belongs mercy, for you render to every man according to his work.

Psalms 63:1-3 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O Creator, you are my God. Early I seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you as for water when I'm in a dry and thirsty land. I love to see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the sanctuary(in his meditation time, he knew his Creator was there). Because your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips praise you.

Psalms 63:4 Thus will I love you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

Psalms 63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips.

Psalms 63:6 When I remember you upon my bed and meditate on you in the night watches.

Psalms 63:7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice. 

Psalms 63:8 My soul follows hard after you. Your right hand upholds me.

"People think I'm disciplined. It is not discipline. It is devotion.
There is a great difference."....Luciano Pavarotti.

Psalms 63:9 But those that seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the Earth.

Closer to the original 'But those that seek my soul to destroy it have come from the lowest part of humanity', that is, they haven't risen above their low consciousness.

Psalms 63:10 They shall fall by the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.

Psalms 63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Every one that swears by him shall glory; but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalms 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked, from the insurrection.(original 'company').of the workers of iniquity.

Psalms 64:3-6 Who whet their tongue like a sword and bend their bows.(twist the truth).to shoot their arrows.(so as to have something against me), even bitter words.(words laying the path for others to hate me), that they may shoot in secret.(talking untruths about me behind my back).at the perfect.(original 'the sound, wholesome, morally innocent, having integrity'; about innocent souls they spout the twisted truth). Suddenly do they shoot at him and fear not.(at the drop of a hat they hesitate not to impute evil motives). They encourage themselves in an evil matter.(against someone; "hey, this is good, we can get him on that"). They commune of laying snares privily.(in private they plot to get others in trouble). They say, Who shall see them?.(no one will know what we are doing).They search out iniquities.(they search out anything they can use against another; what evils can we impose to extract more from others); they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them and the heart, is deep.(their foundaional heart is hate shown by taking advantage of others)."

Psalms 64:7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow.(God's arrows are already made; the laws of the universe are already set, such as this one where you reap what you have sown; the Creator already knows what they are made off but they themselves don't:.Psalms 66:10). Suddenly shall they be wounded.

Being of such a low consciousness as they are of, they just didn't see anything evil coming back onto them:.Proverbs 14:12.

Psalms 64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves. All that see them shall flee away.

Psalms 64:9 And all men shall fear and shall declare the work of God, for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Psalms 65:2 O you that.hear praise, unto you shall all flesh come.

God is so good, as this little boy sings about. Once people know this they will be on God's side of good and off the dark side.ways of evil.

Joel 2:19; Jeremiah 31:34.

Psalms 65:4 Blessed is the man whom you choose.(John 10:28).and cause to approach unto you.(*), that he may dwell in your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, even of your holy temple.

We are the holy temple when we are connected to the Infinite One.

Psalms 66:6 He turned the sea into dry land and they went through the flood.(here the word 'flood' refers to the river Jordan; elsewhere it means:.Joshua 24:15).on foot there did we rejoice in him.

Psalms 66:7 He rules by his power for ever. His eyes behold the nations. Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Psalms 66:8 O bless our God, you people and make the voice of his praise to be heard.

Psalms 66:9 Which holds our soul in life and suffers not our feet to be moved.

Job 1:10.

Psalms 66:10 For you, O God, have proved us. You have tried us, as silver is tried.

Psalms 66:11,12 You brought us into the net. You laid affliction upon our loins. You have caused men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us out into a wealthy place.

Psalms 66:16 Come and hear, all you that fear.(what really does 'fear God' mean?).God and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.(*).

Psalms 66:19 But verily God has heard me. He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

About prayer.

Psalms 66:20 Blessed be God, which has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that comes to God must believe that he is.(*).and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

Psalms 68:6 God sets the solitary.(word 'solitary' root meaning is 'unity').in families. He brings out those which are bound with chains, but the rebellious.(original is 'stubborn').dwell in a dry land.

Psalms 68:18 You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive.(?). You have received gifts for men.(from the Father-Creator of all), yea, for the rebellious also.(*), that the Lord God might dwell among them.

The verse is a prophecy of what Emmanuel the Christ would do and why and is quoted in the New Testament by Paul in Ephesians 4:8. Without God having given us gifts, how, on our own, would we ever have the pathways allowing God in where we could express high conscious things that are good? Without the gift of physical bodies, how would we even know how marvelous it is?.Psalms 139:14.

Psalms 68:19.Blessed be the Lord.(the psalmist is here saying thank-you to God for the good we experience:.Psalms 5:3; 30:5; 59:16; 88:13; 92:1,2; 139:9,10; 143:8), who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

Psalms 68:20 He that is our God is the God of salvation and unto God the Lord belong the issues.(original for 'issues', is 'going out from', 'exiting from').from.(or 'of').death.(*).

Psalms 68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

Psalms 68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver. Scatter you the people that delight in war.

Psalms 69:1,2 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim.(a lily like flower), A Psalm of David: Save me, O God, for the waters are come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing. I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

Psalms 69:3 I am weary of my crying. My throat is dried. Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Psalms 69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head. They that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty. Then I restored that which I took not away.

He tried to make amends as best he could, even though he didn't cause any problem:.Matthew 5:9. He tried to make peace as best he could:.Romans 12:18 "If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all humanity."

Psalms 69:5 O God, you know my foolishness and my sins are not hid from you.

Though they may not be hid from God, God cares not about them (*), instead caring only for how they may hurt you and this because God knew that in His plan for Emmanuel to come some one thousand years later than this Psalm, that all sin for all time would be looked after.

Psalms 69:6,7 Let not them that wait on you, O Lord God of hosts be ashamed for my sake. Let not those that seek you be confounded for my sake.(David didn't want some of the horrible things he had done to trip up anyone who may be interested in God), O God of Israel. Because for your sake I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.

Psalms 69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren and an alien unto my mother's children.

Psalms 69:9 For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up.(David was hot for God).and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

John 2:17,18.

Psalms 69:10 When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

Barnes Notes: The words 'and chastened' are not in the original. The literal translation would be."And I wept my soul with fasting". Others knowing him probably knew little if anything about fasting and figured he was superstitious, gloomy and fanatical.

Psalms 69:17 And hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble.(*). Hear me speedily.

Psalms 69:19 You have known my reproach and my shame and my dishonour. Mine adversaries are all before you.

Psalms 69:20 Reproach has broken my heart and I am full of heaviness. And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none and for comforters, but I found none.

Psalms 69:22,23 Let their table become a snare before them and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not and make their loins continually to shake.

Psalms 69:25 Let their habitation be desolate and let none dwell in their tents.

This is a prophecy of what was to happen when Emmanuel was on the Earth:.Acts 1:16-20.

Psalms 69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living and not be written with the righteous.

Psalms 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Magnify God's presence in you by being thankful.

Psalms 69:33 For God hears the poor and despises not his.(word 'his' not in the original).prisoners.

What are we prisoners to if not to some affliction? God is with you in all your trials. Learn from them.

Psalms 70:5 But I am poor and needy. Make haste unto me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O God, make no tarrying.

Psalms 71:1 In you, God, do I put my trust. Let me never be put to confusion.

Original for word 'confusion' here is 'shame in front of another'.

Psalms 71:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of those who are unrighteous and cruel.

Barnes Notes: the psalmist says that the wicked are raised to places of trust and power (*). They exercise a wide dominion over the Earth and the world is under their control. Of the truth of this there can be no doubt. Rulers have been, in general, eminent for wickedness and the affairs of nations have thus far been almost always under the control of those who are strangers to God and influenced by evil beings. At the present time there is scarcely a devout man in places of control anywhere in the world.

Psalms 36:11; 62:8.

Psalms 71:6 By you have I been holden up from the womb. You are he that took me out of my mother's bowels. My praise is continually of you.

Psalms 71:19 Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who has done great things. O God, who is like unto you!

Psalms 71:22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God. Unto thee will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.

Psalms 72:4 He shall judge the poor.(the afflicted).of the people..He saves the children of the needy.(those subject to oppression and abuse, needing help {*}).and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

More on these afflicted ones amongst you:.John 12:8.

Psalms 72:12-14 For he shall deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also and him that has no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

Psalms 72:19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever and let the whole Earth be filled with his glory; Amen and Amen.

Psalms 73:1 <A Psalm of Asaph.> Truly God is good to Israel.(but, who is Israel today?), even to such as are of a clean heart.

Psalms 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

Psalms 73:3 For I was foolishly envious when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Ecclesiastes 7:14.

Psalms 73:4 For there are no bands in their death, but their strength is firm.

Comprised with.Barnes Notes: The word rendered 'bands' here means properly 'cords tightly drawn', that is then, pains, pangs, torments as if one were twisted or tortured with pain, as a cord is closely twisted. The word occurs only in Isaiah 58:6. The fact which is here referred to by the psalmist and which gave him so much uneasiness, was that which so often occurs, that when the wicked die, they do not seem to suffer in proportion to their wickedness. There seems to be no special marks of divine displeasure on his life as they are about to leave the world. They have lived in prosperity and they appear to die in peace. There is no uncommon agony in their death. There is no special alarm about the future world. They have enjoyed this world and a sinful life seems now to be followed by a peaceful death. They do not even suffer as much in death as good people often do, so what then is the advantage of piety? And how can we believe that God is just or that he is the friend of the righteous or even that there is a God? Of the fact here adverted to by the psalmist, that the wicked do thus live and die, there can be no doubt and that fact has given perplexity to good people in all ages of the world who do not see the reason they are here in the first place.

"But their strength is firm", as in Hebrew 'fat', that is, they are not emaciated and weakened by disease, but they go down to death apparently with good health. Job too was concerned about what he observed regarding this quandary:.Job 21:22-26. So why be good?.Matthew 25:46.

Psalms 73:5 They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued like other men.

Psalms 73:6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain and violence covers them as a garment.

Psalms 73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness. They have more than heart could wish.

Psalms 73:8 They are corrupt and speak wickedly concerning oppression.(example). They speak loftily..

Job 21;7-15.

Comprised with Barnes Notes: 'They are corrupt' is literally 'they mock'. The word rendered into the phrase 'they are corrupt' never has this signification. It is the very word from which our word mock is derived and means the same thing. The idea is that they {the satanists} deride truth or mock all that pertains to God and speak wickedly concerning oppression, literally 'they speak in wickedness and oppression they speak dissolutely from on high', that is, they use arrogant language and speak in a proud manner as if they were above others and even God. Using harsh and violent language shows they care not about the feelings or rights of others. They are morally.bankrupt.

Psalms 73:9-12 They set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walks through the Earth.(an attitude of 'to hell with this life, I'm in it for all I can get'). Therefore his people return hither and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?.(does God even know what's going on?).Behold, these are the unGodly, who prosper in the world. They increase in riches.

Barnes Notes: They set their mouth against the heavens:.Revelation 13:6. Literally, "They set their mouth in heaven" or in the heavens. The idea is, they speak as if they were "in" the heavens, as if they were clothed with all authority; as if they, the elite, were superior beings and had a right to command the multiverse. Their tongue walks through the earth. It has no limit. The word controlers almost grabbed it all. They have roamed over all the earth, subjugating it. They speak without any restraint of law or propriety and without any regard to the command of the true and only God or to what is due to We the People, In other words they had set themselves above all law and to act as if there were no one in heaven or in earth to control them:.Psalms 14:3.

Psalms 73:13-15 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in innocency. For all the day long have I been plagued and chastened every morning.(I have done my best, yet what on Earth good has it been to anyone, including me?). If I say, I will speak thus.(or, I will be a certain way with others that I think would be better for them and me); behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.(I can't seem to reach them for good no matter how hard I try).

Psalms 73:16,17 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me.(when I think about why this may be, it's just too painful), Until I went into the sanctuary of God.(howto go there). Then understood I their end.

Ecclesiastes 3:19-21; 1Peter 4:18.

Psalms 73:18-21 Surely you did set them in slippery places.(they have no idea when they'll slip into major problems). You cast them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. As a dream when one awakes, so, O Lord, when you awake, you shalt despise their image.(God's heart aches toward people who may suffer the consequences of their consciousness). Thus my heart was grieved and I was pricked in my reins.(the psalmist too felt like this).

Psalms 73:22 So foolish was I and ignorant. I was as a beast before thee.

Psalms 73:23.Nevertheless I am continually with you. You have held me by my right hand.

Psalms 73:24 You shall guide me with your counsel and afterward receive me to glory.

Psalms 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon Earth that I desire beside thee.

Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart fails. But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.(my portion in my life).

Psalms 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.

The invisible automatic laws set up by God before man was on Earth, are set up so that we reap what we have sown:.Jeremiah 6:19.

Psalms 73:28 But.(word 'but', not in original).it is good for me to draw near to God. I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all your works.
