What’s your favorite Psalm?

What’s your favorite Psalm? I’ll tell you mine. It’s Psalm 90, all about the fleeting nature of life and the eternal strength we can draw from God’s creative power. In the middle of the Psalm, at least in the King James Version of the text, King David reminds us all that “we spend our years as a tale that is told.” Last edited by WordSlinger 06-18-2009 at 04:30:31 PM |

In the middle of the Psalm, at least in the King James Version of the text, King David reminds us all that “we spend our years as a tale that is told.” Pretty natural for a writer to appreciate such a hymn, right? The ancient poet King David , eloquently describes the poignancy of the all-too-rapid pace of our brief human lives, telling God, "A thousand years to You are like a single day; they are like yesterday, already gone." The poet asks God: "Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Then he adds a prayer that anyone who has seen a bit of life would understand, asking God politely to at least "make us glad as many days as we have suffered affliction." I feel I have the potential to do almost anything, and have so many different options and opportunities. "So I got on this train of thought about mortality. I began to feel: There are so many things to explore and learn and there's only one little lifetime we are given! Thank you for reading this. Now, what’s your favorite Psalm? Psalms 20 is my favorite Psalm. Some may not understand this, but I will attempt to explain very quickly. I was locked in a county jail cell in McNairy County, Tennessee, and I was deep in despair over my future. It seemed like all of my past was trying to catch up to me at one time. My family was left to fend for themselves, and they were struggling mightily just to stay afloat. I was warring with the inner demons of my flesh - all the while feeling the calling of God on my life. I felt that I just couldn't take it anymore, so I grabbed my Bible, closed my cell door, closed my eyes, and prayed this prayer: "God if You have something in store for my life and You have something to say to me, now is the time for You to say it. I am lost here, God, and I need your help and direction. I am going to open this Bible in a minute, and if You want to tell me something, show me." I opened the Bible with my eyes still closed, and it opened to Psalms 20. Read it and you will understand. I am now free from that jail cell by the Grace of God, and living my life now not for myself, but for my family and God. Thanks for asking this question, WordSlinger. May God bless you and all that reply. Marcus |

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
