Psalms 36:6 - Marginal Notes in the King James Version (1611) Well, Let us see.. He refused to make any of the needs of the ministry known to any potential donor. The word delights is Eden in Hebrew, so it may be a reference to the original Garden, with the four rivers flowing from it. This wicked man has no sense that the terror of the Lord will come upon him because of his evil deeds. Do you see His lovingkindness and faithfulness as immense? First, at the heart of sin is a complete lack of understanding of who God is, so that sinners do not fear Him. How would you advise a Christian who said that he wanted to hate sin more and love God more? He never runs dry! To read other blogs I have written explaining Psalms, use this link. For instance, when the Bible uses the phrase heavens plural, it is usually referring to the skies or atmosphere around the earth and the universe rather than the eternal paradise we refer to as Heaven. He is so deluded by his sin that he thinks he is right, or at least that he is no worse than everyone else. This verse sounds like John 1:4, which says of Jesus, In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. Or, as Jesus claimed (John 5:21), For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. Jesus is the source of eternal life for His chosen ones. The transcendent perfections of the divine nature. We dont know what the circumstances were that prompted David to write this psalm. And who can comprehend the extent of His law, and the wonderfulness of His Providence, in thus watching over and providing for the multitudes of animated beings that swarm in the waters, in the air, and on the earth? O continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. Rather, the righteousness of God refers to His faithfulness. It was the character of proselytes that they came to trust under the wings of the God of Israel (Ruth 2:12); and what more proper to gather proselytes than the excellency of his loving-kindness? AMP Thy righteousness is like the great mountains. God gave us a soul, and that soul has the potential to exist into eternity beyond death. This passage indicates that there may be even greater animals than dogs in Heaven that we will love as eternal pets. The Powerful Meaning Of Psalm 121 (my help comes from the Lord) 76. And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. Derek Kidner (p. 147) observes, The word precious establishes at once the change of scale from the immense to the intimate and personal. And so the psalm you'll see in the first four verses, David is speaking again of the wicked and his enemies and the things that they were saying against him. How astonishing are the thoughts in these two verses! Its a virtual synonym with the phrase to love you. In 1 Corinthians 8, for example, Paul says, If anyone supposed that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know; but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.

The extensive care and beneficence of the divine Providence: "Thou preservest man and beast, not only protectest them from mischief, but suppliest them with that which is needful for the support of life." There is a joke that says, Dog heaven would be cat hell. While that would certainly be true here on earth, the Bible seems to indicate that the animal kingdom will one day be restored to its pre-fall Garden of Eden like existence when all of the creatures of the world will once again coexist in peace. The God of grace is the fountain of spiritual life. The river of your delights is probably an allusion to the four rivers at the Garden of Eden: the Tigris, Euphrates, Gihon, and the Pishon in the land of Havila. 1 Samuel 14:15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling. Job 11:7-9 Canst thou by searching find out God? There are some who flatter themselves, that they do, and have done, a great deal for their salvation. These rich Biblical words all refer to the faithful things God has done to honor His word. Picture yourself walking through life, climbing these hills, and what new meaning the words take on. Even though we who have come to know God through Jesus Christ have experienced His grace and love, we need a continuing, steady flow of it. Let's take a look at Psalm 6 verse by verse.
