I use Laridian’s Bible software<\/a>–and the wealth of study resources available make it difficult to read too quickly. I have concordances, numerous commentaries, a dozen or so Bible versions, dictionaries, historical books (Josephus, for instance) … you name it … available at a click. (Laridian provides a platform for my PC, my Palm and my phone.) Anyway, I could go on about that all day–and soon, I will take some screenshots and show you exactly how much Laridian offers<\/a>. It’s amazing. I have all of that Bible study power with me, no matter where I am or when I need it. (Yes, I signed up for their affiliate program, but I would be telling you this regardless. I don’t know of a product on the planet I would feel better about recommending than Laridian.)<\/p>\n Back to the Psalms. When you come across something like Psalm 27, there is really nothing else that can be said:<\/p>\n [27:1]\u00a0(0)<\/small><\/sup><\/small>By David*:<\/p>\n (1)<\/small><\/sup><\/small>ADONAI*<\/em> is my light and salvation; [2]\u00a0When evildoers assailed me [4]\u00a0Just one thing have I asked of ADONAI*<\/em>; [7]\u00a0Listen, ADONAI*<\/em>, to my voice when I cry; [13]\u00a0If I hadn’t believed that I would see STUDYING THE PSALMS is like coming across a “Greatest Hits” album by your favorite band.

\nwhom do I need to fear?
\nADONAI*<\/em> is the stronghold of my life;
\nof whom should I be afraid?<\/p>\n
\nto devour my flesh,
\nmy adversaries and foes,
\nthey stumbled and fell.
\n[3]\u00a0If an army encamps against me,
\nmy heart will not fear;
\nif war breaks out against me,
\neven then I will keep trusting.<\/p>\n
\nonly this will I seek:
\nto live in the house of ADONAI* <\/em>
\nall the days of my life,
\nto see the beauty of ADONAI* <\/em>
\nand visit in his temple.
\n[5]\u00a0For he will conceal me in his shelter
\non the day of trouble,
\nhe will hide me in the folds of his tent,
\nhe will set me high on a rock.
\n[6]\u00a0Then my head will be lifted up
\nabove my surrounding foes,
\nand I will offer in his tent
\nsacrifices with shouts of joy;
\nI will sing, sing praises to ADONAI*<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nshow favor to me; and answer me.
\n[8]\u00a0\u201cMy heart said of you, \u2018Seek my face.\u2019\u201d
\nYour face, ADONAI*<\/em>, I will seek.
\n[9]\u00a0Do not hide your face from me,
\ndon’t turn your servant away in anger.
\nYou are my help; don’t abandon me;
\ndon’t leave me, God my savior.
\n[10]\u00a0Even though my father and mother have left me,
\nADONAI*<\/em> will care for me.
\n[11]\u00a0Teach me your way, ADONAI*<\/em>;
\nlead me on a level path
\nbecause of my enemies\u2014
\n[12]\u00a0don’t give me up to the whims of my foes;
\nfor false witnesses have risen against me,
\nalso those who are breathing violence.<\/p>\n
\nADONAI<\/em>‘s* goodness in the land of the living,\u2026
\n[14]\u00a0Put your hope in ADONAI*<\/em>, be strong,
\nand let your heart take courage!
\nYes, put your hope in ADONAI*<\/em>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n(Complete Jewish Bible, by way of Laridian<\/a>,\u00a0copyright 1998 by David H. Stern)<\/address>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
