Psalm Twenty Three
The psalm twenty three speaks about how a person may feel when having God as his shepperd, and who takes care of everybody. The sermon on the mount, speeches offering religious or moral instruction, explains different descriptions to explain many points from a biblical standpoint like what it means to be happy, how to deal with problems, acquire qualities that belong to a person who believes in god and not to worry too much about everyday problems. Certain portions of Scripture seem to be etched more deeply into people's minds than others. Psalm twenty thee is definitely one of these. The Sermon on the Mount, as Matthew five through seven is commonly called, is another. Psalm twenty three is a healing pray while the sermon on the mount is used …show more content…
These instructions are viewed by many Christians as a manual for living life as a "true Christian", by following the specific instructions of Jesus. King David, who wrote the Psalm, grew up and worked as a shepherd, so he knew a lot about sheep and shepherding. He loved the metaphor of seeing God, or the Lord, as a shepherd. The shepherd's job is to care for his flock, making sure they are safe, nourished, calm and happy at all times. The text says in Psalm twenty three that “the lord is my shepherd”, and in The Sermon on the Mount it states “Not serving two masters; Shows the relationship that God has with birds and lilies”. They are alike in the idea that God will provide what we need if we first look for his kingdom. The main idea of psalm twenty three is to tell people the reason of our life on earth. The main idea if The Sermon on the Mount is that if we serve God, God will take care of us because we are valuable and last more hen the birds and the

    Generally considered to be one of the most notable of the sacred hymns contained within the book of Psalms, Psalm 139 is perhaps one of the most sublime declarations of the omnipresence of God found in the Bible. Attested to David, Psalm 139 is classified as an “Individual Hymn of Thanksgiving” 1 a genre in which God is praised for the singers’ delivery from oppression and various life-threatening illnesses while also acting as a “Wisdom” psalm, celebrating the creative goodness of God. While the actual date of the text remains unclear as it is notoriously difficult to determine a date and historical context for every psalm, most scholars agree that the hymn was written during the time of King David’s reign, there is however, some dispute among…

    Psalm 22 Analysis

    • 100 Words
    • 1 Page

    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…

    Another theme that the Sermon is trying to convey is if we are to forgive the people who do bad to us, he will let us enter his kingdom of heaven and be happy. Furthermore, this does not exactly mean that God will provide you happiness, but as we forgive people we do not have to carry the burden of our problems. One of the ways on how Psalm 23 and The Sermon on the Mount are not alike is how the Psalm is more of a healing prayer and The Sermon on the Mount is made more to teach us. The similarity that stood the most out to me was how they both ended stating that the end of their journey will be in the kingdom or house of the lord. Both, the Psalm and the Sermon, are structured and told differently, but they lead to the same…

    Messiah in Psalm 22

    • 12 Pages

    The temptation for the lay reader is to read this passage in light of the New Testament and read Jesus back into the words of the psalm. This is very easy to do because of the striking similarity between the words of the psalmist and the events that transpired during the passion of Jesus. However, to do this is to build a house without first building a proper foundation. The proper approach is to lay the foundation by examining the passage in its grammatical-historical context while acknowledging that there is more to responsible interpretation of the Bible. It is only then, that the rest of the house may be constructed.…

    The deduction can be made by reading the scriptures above that glorifying the Lord, worshipping the Lord, and praising the Lord are essential practices in the lives of men. Men and women were created to worship and give God his due glory. In Psalm 103, praising the Lord is very recognizable and it is the purpose of the psalm. This paper will briefly describe the author of the psalm, elaborate on the meaning of the psalm, investigate the type of psalm, and identify the poetic parallelisms found in the Psalm.…

    Next, chapter ten, “The Psalms for Christians: In the West until the Reformation, and in the East,” traces the Christian community and their use of the Psalms. During this period, we begin to see formal liturgies develop in the early centuries as a part of worship, which included the use of psalms in these liturgies (p.166). It is clear that the Psalms remain an important part of worship, for both the Jew, as seen in the previous chapter, and for the Christian (p.167).…

    Many people converted to Protestantism because they didn’t need the Church to tell them what to believe anymore. Over the years, as people have been able to read bible stories for themselves, some have become more favored than others. My favorite story from the King James Version of the bible, is Psalm 23 because it provides guidance, bravery, and hope. One reason why Psalm 23 from the King James Version of the bible is my favorite, is because it provides guidance. In this bible verse, it speaks of the Lord being a shepherd, meaning he is a keeper, leader, and caregiver of the people.…
