Psalms 71
Book of Psalms
Psalms 71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me
never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in thy
righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be thou my strong
habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to
save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
-
Thou art my rock and my fortress = God put a
wall around you
-
Strong habitation = rock of habitation, "a rock
of refuge"
-
Whereunto I may continually resort = "a
place of security to save me"
4 Deliver me, O my God,
out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For thou art my hope,
O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.
6 By thee have I been
holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my
praise shall be continually of thee.
-
Jeremiah 1:4 Then the word
of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I
knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of
the womb I sanctified thee, and I
ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
7 I am as a wonder unto
many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled
with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the
time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies
speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath
forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far
from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be
confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered
with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope
continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 My mouth shall shew
forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the
numbers thereof.
16 I will go in the
strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of
thine only.
17 O God, thou hast
taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
-
Jeremiah 1:7 But the LORD
said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for
thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee,
and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt
speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am
with thee to deliver thee, saith the
LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and
touched my mouth. And the LORD said
unto me, Behold, I have put my words in
thy mouth.
18 Now also when I am
old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength
unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19 Thy righteousness
also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto
thee!
20 Thou, which hast
shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up
again from the depths of the earth.
-
Shalt quicken me again = make me alive again.
-
Bring me up again = in resurrection.
21 Thou shalt increase
my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 I will also praise
thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the
harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly
rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall
talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they
are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
• 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)
