Psalms 34
Book of Psalms
Psalms 34:1 A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before
Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all
times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not
ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out
of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and
delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man
that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them
that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the
LORD shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the
LORD.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many
days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears
are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of
all their troubles.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
-
Nigh = be at hand, join, be near, offer,
present, produce, make ready, stand, take.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall
be
desolate.
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that
trust in him shall be desolate.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
