The Holy Bible in 1 year - Day 155

     Hello! Thank you for comng here today. Let's read chapters 127 to 130 from the book of Psalms. In Psalm127 we areshown that everything that is done and accoplished is done and accomplished because of the LORD. So we must rejoice in His blessings and know that He is with us from the fruita of our labours; for if we find them to be successfull, then surely the LORD was with us through it. Psalm 128 Explains to us that blessed is he that is fearfull of God for upon him all the LORD's blessings reside; but fearfulness of God should not be understood in terms of fear, because we must remember what the LORD said in 1John 4:18 - " There is no fear in love".  Rather we must fear that through our actions we may work inequity, thus departing from the LORD. This fearfulness stema from love, and is observed in love; we do not fear Gos, rather we fear being away from Him, being cast aside because of our sins and thus not being in His presence, we fear we ourselves rejecting His love.  Psalm 129 shows us triumph through the LORD. The author faces, like us in everyday life, a world who being evil rejects God and him, who tries to hurt him. But through God he is delivered in all of his days, so that being old and reflecting upon his life he sees that he triumphed over the works of evil thorugh God's power and those who worked inequity and were against him had not succedeed. Thus steadfast faith in God proves to be the best shield against evil. Psalm 130 Gives us a great picture of Jesus Christs's wonderful works. For His deliverance was awaited by the whole of Israel. Like someone waits for the light of morning during the darkness of night, we are hungry for God's redemption. Thus we put our faith in Him and pray to Him that Heshould swiftly come and deliver us. 

PSALM 127

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

PSALM 128

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

PSALM 129

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

4 The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.

PSALM 130

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.

2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

7 Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
