    Psalm 139: The Omnipresence Of God

    David acknowledges this as a way to give glory to God and affirm that he is indeed omniscient. It is extremely important to note the extensive use of the words “I” and “You” in the first few verses of the text as these pronouns seem to emphasize the relationship between God and the psalmist or singer of the hymn4. While other cultures in this time period may have refrained from directly addressing their gods, David indicates an intense kinship between God and His people. This is not a generic psalm; it is an intensely personal one between David and God. It is also important to address the repetition of the Hebrew word yada or “to know” in the original text as it is repeated seven times throughout the passage. Yada covers various meanings from simple recognition to a sexually intimate relationship (i.e “Adam knew his wife Eve and bore a son named Cain”3.) This emphasis seems to indicate that David believes the concept of knowledge in general is a very important part of a meaningful relationship.4 What seems to astound David is the idea that God is not only all-knowing and ever-present but He also has the power to act and work directly within our lives and does so. Another notable term found in verse 14 is the word “fearfully” or yara. While it is…

    2 Samuel 1-10 Analysis

    On a positive note, David and his forces were able to take control of Jerusalem, which was a major stronghold that withstood multiple attempts of siege. However, opposition came from within the Israelite nation on multiple fronts. The execution of Saul’s descendants and the rebellion of both Absalom and Sheba all demonstrate how David did not necessarily have the support of all of Israel.…

    Psalm 22 Analysis

    The book of Psalms is a clear acceptance of wisdom and poetry unto God, the Creator of heavens and earth. David, his Sons, and others expressly write their human’s emotions in prayers and hymns to convey a message from their hearts in many ways. The book of Psalms is also equivalent to the New Testament as well, the Old Testament , example, Psalm 22:1 where David cries in agony, just as Jesus Christ did in the Gospel of Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 collectively describing in Scriptures a separation from God. Nevertheless, God is only prayer away in every…

    King David Research Paper

    Saul was threatened so much that Saul had plotted to kill David. David learned of this and fled to escape the king's wrath. In hiding David further cemented his popularity among the Israelites by "Beginning as an outlaw, with a price on his head, David led the life of a Robin Hood on the desert frontier of his country (Judah). He became the leader and organizer of other outlaws and refugees; and, according to the Bible, ". . . everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered to him; and he became captain over them." This group progressively ingratiated itself with the local population by protecting them from other bandits or, in case they had been raided, by pursuing the raiders and restoring the possessions that had been taken" (Britannica). David gained his popularity from this and eventually lead him to being selected as…

    Examples Of Power In Macbeth

    In the poem Jerusalem the narrator desires to be king. This is because he believes that being king will be great and he would not encounter any problems since he is a king however, he is wrong with that belief. After becoming king the narrator realizes that for every good there is a bad and for his people who are with him there are also people against him. The narrator admits that his major mistake was wanting to be king by saying, “Oh, who would ever wanna be king” (line 28). Therefore, the narrator strived to be king and he achieved his yearnings, yet his mistake was having that desire from the start and not realizing that anything wrong would come from it. Lastly, even though the narrator admitted and, recognized his mistake he still ended up failing. The narrator ends up failing because he thought being king was easy, so when a major job came like managing an army for war he could not successfully do his job and ended up losing his people, land and, title. In brief, since the narrator wanted to be king, his false assumptions thinking a role as king would be easy, he ended up…

    Lucretius On The Nature Of Things Analysis

    Approximately fifty years before Christ, Roman poet and philosopher, Lucretius began to state his beliefs to the world. We now know that Lucretius had many beliefs regarding death and the human spirit and how they were related. In his writing, “On The Nature of Things”, Lucretius states that the human spirit or mind is mortal. By saying that the human mind is mortal, Lucretius is saying that the human mind is subject to death, the same way that the human body is. The human spirit is a mental part of humanity, and includes things such as fear, intellect, and personality. Lucretius argues that death means nothing to us. People must actually live through death for it to have been remembered as painful, which as most people can quickly figure out,…
