Psalms 39:1 To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

1Peter 3:10,15.

Psalms 39:2.3 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good and my sorrow was stirred.(in some situations we just don't know what to say or if we should even say anything; this can cause us sorrow, affecting our emotions). My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned; then spake I with my tongue,

Be careful what you say and how you say it:.1Peter 3:10,15.

Psalms 39:4 Lord, make me to know my end.(to awaken to your purpose ask Father-Creator of all love).and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Help me to see how temporary is the physical existence so I can be mindful of the reality of why I'm here.

Psalms 39:5 Behold, you have made my days as an handbreadth and my age is as nothing before you. Verily every man at his best state is altogether.vanity. Selah.

Each of us, when we are at the top of our game, feeling the best we could possibly feel, should heed David's words above in verse 4.

Psalms 39:6 Surely every man walks in a vain show. Surely they are disquieted in vain. He heaps up riches and knows not who shall gather them.

It would be better to live life this way:.Matthew 6:33.

Psalms 39:7-10 And now, Lord, what wait I for?.(what am I doing here here on Earth).My hope is in you. Deliver me from all my transgressions. Make me not the reproach of the foolish. I was dumb. I opened not my mouth because you did it.(David felt strongly at the time to refrain from speaking). Remove your stroke away from me. I am consumed by the blow of your hand

David felt he should have spoke in the situation, but didn't and he felt it worked out not for his good and felt the way he was at the time was a like a blow from God; David was so sincere that he was silent even if it wasn't the best for him to be that way at the time; his heart was down and at this time and he was feeling his spirit was dashed; David was in a funk.

Psalms 39:11 When you with rebukes correct man for iniquity you make his beauty to consume away like a moth. Surely every man is vanity. Selah.

No one likes to think that the way they have been is wrong, why:.Proverbs 14:12. Any sadness one holds onto makes his countenance to be that not of enthusiasm. If one thinks of himself as unworthy and ridden with guilt, their attractiveness wanes. See the reality of this in the amazing true documentary.The Grand Self.

Psalms 39:12,13 Hear my prayer, O Lord and give ear unto my cry. Hold not your peace at my tears, for I am a stranger with you and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.

Psalms 40:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord and he inclined unto me and heard my cry.

Psalms 40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings.

Psalms 40:3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God. Many shall see it and fear and shall trust in the Lord.

Psalms 40:4 Blessed is that man that makes the Lord his trust and respects.(original for word 'respects' implies 'a turning toward', as one would if wanting to follow another's example).not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Psalms 40:5 Many, O God are your wonderful works.(what wonderful works?).which you have done and your thoughts which are to us-ward. They cannot be reckoned up in order unto you. I could not even declare.(acknowledge).and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

What are God's thoughts toward us?

Psalms 40:6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire.(Hebrews 10:1-9), but my ears have you opened. Burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.

If.the mind back then and even later in the time of the early New Testament, had been receptive to important spiritual things such as judgment, mercy and faith, the myriad other do's and don'ts could have been dispensed with:.Matthew 23:23.

Psalms 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come. In the volume of the book that is written of me,

The scriptures written of Him back then were in scrolls. They were parts of scripture specifically.referring to the prophesies of Him.

Psalms 40:8 I delight to do your will, O my God. Yea, your law is within my heart.

David and others way back in time here saw the fallacy of physical do's and dont's regarding spiritual matters (Matthew 12:3-7; Psalms 119:18; 119:165), but the people back then didn't and neither do many religious people today, yet.

Psalms 40:10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great congregation.

Similar as Emmanuel spoke to the multitudes so many centuries later:.Matthew 13:2; Luke 8:4.

Psalms 40:12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about. Mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of mine head. Therefore my heart fails me.

What can you do?

Psalms 40:17 But I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer. Make no tarrying, O my God.

Psalms 41:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considers the poor. The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.

More on the poor amongst you:.John 12:8.

Psalms 41:4 I said, God be merciful unto me. Heal my soul for I have sinned against you.

One sins against God by not keeping aligned with the law of God, which is always love:.1John 4:8-16. What does the word 'sin' mean?

Psalms 41:6 And if he come to see me, he speaks vanity. His heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he tells it.

Psalms 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.(Acts 1:16)..(?)

Psalms 41:13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

Psalms 42:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.(*). As the hart.(a male deer).pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after you O God.

Psalms 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God when I come and appear before God?

This occurs in meditation. It grows on you as you begin to see positive results in your life.

Psalms 42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night while they continually say unto me Where is thy God?.(waiting for God's help in his life)

Psalms 42:4 When I remember these things I pour out my soul in me, for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 

Psalms 42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul and why are you disquieted in me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 

Psalms 42:6-10 O my God, my soul is cast down within me, therefore will I remember you from the land of Jordan and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterspouts. All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime and in the night his song shall be with me and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why have you forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me while they say daily unto me, Where is your God? 

Psalms 42:11 Why art you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope you in God. For I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance and my God.

Psalms 43:3 O send out your light and your truth.(how does one do this?). Let them lead me. Let them bring me unto your holy hill and to your tabernacles.

Psalms 44:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.(*). We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the times of old.

Psalms 44:2,3 How you did drive out the heathen with your hand and planted them. How you did afflict the people and cast them out. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them, but by your right hand and your arm and the light of your countenance, because you had favour unto them.

Why? because He has an overall plan for humanity:.1Corinthians 2:9.

Psalms 44:4 You are my King, O God. Command deliverances for Jacob.

Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, today, is a spiritual Israel.

Psalms 44:5 Through you will we push down our enemies. Through your name will we tread them under that rise up against us. 

Psalms 44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

1Samuel 17:47.

Psalms 44:7-18 But you have saved us from our enemies and have put them to shame that hated us.(examples: 2Kings 19:32-35; 2Chronicles 20:15-28). In God we boast all the day long and praise your name for ever. Selah. But you have cast off and put us to shame and go not forth with our armies. You make us to turn back from the enemy and they which hate us spoil for themselves. You have given us like sheep appointed for meat and have scattered us among the heathen. You sell your people for nought and do not increase your wealth by their price. You make us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. You make us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. My confusion is continually before me and the shame of my face has covered me, for the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes, by reason of the enemy and avenger.(who is this out to trip you up and even destroy you?). All this is come upon us, yet have we not forgotten you, neither have we dealt falsely being in your covenant. Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way.

Psalms 44:19 Though you have sore broken us in the place of dragons and covered us with the shadow of death.(the psalmist felt he was in the worst place he could possibly be in). 

Romans 8:36.

Psalms 44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God or stretched out our hands to a strange God;

Psalms 44:21 Shall not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

God sees all.

Psalms 69:5; Jeremiah 32:19; Hebrews 4:13; 1John 3:20.

Psalms 44:22 Yea, for your sake are we killed all the day long. We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Romans 8:36.

Psalms 44:23-26 Awake, why are you sleeping, O God? arise, cast us not off for ever. Why do you hide your face and forget our affliction and our oppression? For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our belly cleaves unto the Earth. Arise, help and redeem us for your mercies' sake.

Psalms 45:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil.(*). A Song of loves: My heart is inditing.(original is to 'keep moving in mind'; to think about).a good matter. I speak of the things which I have made touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Psalms 45:2 Thou are fairer than the children of men. Grace is poured into your lips, therefore God has blessed you for ever.

Psalms 45:7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

Quoted in the New Testament in Hebrews 1:9.

Psalms 46:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah.(*). A Song upon Alamoth.(a song about young women): God is our refuge and strength, a very present help.(Hebrews 13:5).in trouble.

Psalms of protection: Psalms .91, 46, 27.

But ask (Matthew 7:7) and know God is right there and to keep yourself from being the cause of any trouble:.Proverbs 1:10-14.

Psalms 46:2,3 Therefore will not we fear, though the Earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

Psalms 46:4 There is a river.(the river of the Soul flows into those attuned), the streams whereof make glad the city of God.(God's city is His habitation, His kingdom and where is that and what's it like?), the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 

Psalms 46:5 God is in the midst of her.(God is in the midst of this invisible energy field of intelligent higher consciousness), she shall not be moved.(the thoughts one has for good for all {as we are all one} when in meditation will produce the desired effect). God shall help her and that right early.

Psalms 46:6 The heathen raged.(original 'in a tumult', 'troubled', 'disquieted' 'in an uproar' 'discomfited'. Why? Because their dark practices are over:.Psalms 74:20 "...the dark places of the Earth are full of the habitations of cruelty."), the kingdoms were moved. He uttered his voice, the Earth melted.

Psalms 46:7 The Lord of hosts is with us.("is with us" not in original; truth is, it's us); the God of Jacob is our refuge.(or 'defense'; in other words, when in the same consciousness as God, what have you to ever fear?). Selah.

Who's this Jacob?

Psalms 46:8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he has made in the Earth. 

Psalms 46:9 He makes wars to cease unto the end of the Earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear in sunder. He burns the chariot in the fire.

Psalms 46:10.Be still and know God. I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the Earth. 

Psalms 46:10.Be still and you'll know God.(how does this work? Be still and know that this stillness you are in is God, that God is right there, that in the silence, this is God; since the Creator is a family of high consciousness beings, it's really saying to be still and you'll know your true source, your reality, that is, in the stillness you'll know there is a powerful and good presence right there). I will be exalted among the heathen.(true consciousness is rising everywhere thanks to those who meditate), I will be exalted in the Earth.(and is already affecting the Earth for good).

So, meditate by clearing your mind of all thoughts that it's continually chattering about, by thinking only of the silence that remains. In that silence is the presence of God that was always there, but perhaps you did not know that.

That's how you commune with your heart:.Psalms 4:4 "Stand in awe and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still."

Psalms 10:4,5 "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek God. God is not in all his thoughts and so one's ways are always grievous. God's judgments are far above and out of his sight. As for all God's enemies, God puffs at them."

Psalms 46:11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psalms 46:11 The Lord of hosts is with us.(but how?); the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah..(original is."The Lord.{meaning the self existing One}).hosts Gods.{what does this mean 'He hosts Gods' and what Gods?}, Jacob's defense.{referring to the ancient patriarch.Jacob who trusted in God way back when}).Selah.

Psalms 47:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.(*). O clap your hands, all you people. Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

Psalms 47:3 He shall subdue the people under us and the nations under our feet.

The Creator is always in total control.

Psalms 47:7 For God is the King of all the Earth. Sing your praises with understanding.

Think about what you are singing so that singing comes from the heart.

Psalms 47:8 God reigns over the heathen. God sits upon the throne of his holiness.

Psalms 48:1 A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.(*). Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Psalms 49:1-3 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.(*). Hear this, all you people. Give ear all you inhabitants of the world, both low and high, rich and poor together. My mouth shall speak of wisdom and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

He was seeking comprehension.

Psalms 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable. I will open my dark saying.(a saying somewhat.difficult in comprehending).upon the harp.

Psalms 49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

JPS translation:."Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasses me about.".Luke 10:19. "...nothing shall by any means hurt you."

Psalms 49:6 They that trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.

They trust not in God, but in the wealth they have to keep them going in life and keep them from and get them out of troubles; they lack in expressing good character; their substance is their riches:.Matthew 16:25,26 "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

Psalms 49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother.(talking spiritually), nor give to God a ransom for him.

Each person has to stand on his own feet, because each is an individual and will receive in life what he or she has sown (*), even if it's sown unconsciously, that is, they may be very sincere at heart in wanting to do good and yet they wonder why they see no good in their life. Why is that? Because, though they may want good, they won't get it unless they learn how.

Don't like what your life is like? Learn how to change its course. It's not the Earthly riches that gets you favors with God? It's the spiritual riches that brings God's favor and with it the special gift that enables use of it to get all else you want.

Psalms 49:8,9 For the redemption of their soul is precious and it.(the redemption).ceases for ever.(the thing that lasts forever is one's soul once redeemed), that he should still live for ever and not see corruption.

1Corinthians 15:53,54.

Psalms 49:10 For he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish individual perish and leave their wealth to others.

Psalms 49:11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever and their dwelling places to all generations. They call their lands.(and their parks, streets and avenues, schools and monuments, bulidings and mountains).after their own names.

Habakkuk 2:9,10.

Psalms 49:12 Nevertheless man being in honour abides not. He is like the beasts that perish.

Psalms 49:13 This their way is their folly, yet their posterity approve their sayings.(the up and coming generation is just as stupid). Selah.

Psalms 49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave. Death shall feed on them and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning and their beauty.(their resplendence).shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

The grandiose lifestyle they inhabited while on Earth will be no more.

Psalms 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, for he shall receive me. Selah.

Psalms 49:16 Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

Psalms 49:17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.

Psalms 49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul and men praised him, when he did well to himself,

Psalms 49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

Psalms 49:20 Man that is in honour and understands not.(or, is stupid by not acknowledging the truths of life all around him:.Romans 1:28), is like the beasts that perish.

Means, that the beasts, who all have the same oversoul (that's why you see, for example, all brids take off virtually at the same time), whereas humans have individual souls, that is, apart from those appearing as humans, the mankind ones.
