Seven Powerful Psalms bible study

 

            Here are seven very powerful Psalms with both life application things and also praises for the Lord who is worthy of our praise. I present these to you all at His direction in the hopes you are uplifted and encouraged to live more for the Lord who loves you more than you can imagine so but also find things in there to challenge you so you can live better and more productive lives for His sake for we were created for His sake and not our own to worship Him and have fellowship with Him.

Psalm 139 states powerfully that we cannot get away from the Lord’s presence no matter where we go and how we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and also that His thoughts to us are more numerous than the grains of sand.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

(Psalms 139:1)

 

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

(Psalms 139:2)

 

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

(Psalms 139:3)

 

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

(Psalms 139:4)

 

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

(Psalms 139:5)

 

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

(Psalms 139:7)

 

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

(Psalms 139:8)

 

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

(Psalms 139:9)

 

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

(Psalms 139:10)

 

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

The final Psalm in this study is Psalm 145 is a powerful Psalm of praise which encourages us all to praise and worship our God because He is worthy of ALL of our praises and worship that we give Him!

(Psalms 145:1)  David's Psalm of praise. I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

 

(Psalms 145:2)  Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

(Psalms 145:4)  One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

 

(Psalms 145:5)  I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

 

(Psalms 145:6)  And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

 

(Psalms 145:7)  They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

(Psalms 145:11)  They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power;

 

(Psalms 145:12)  To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.

 

(Psalms 145:13)  Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

 

(Psalms 145:14)  The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

To conclude this bible study and show you why and how to repent of sins and what God has done for us to get the gift of salvation, here is a salvation teaching based on the Romans road salvation tract but it provides more of the surrounding verses for context to make the salvation message even stronger. It is a passion that the Lord has placed on my heart to see the lost be won over to Christ and He has given me a strong knowledge of the bible to enable this to be done. This short teaching/long tract is a product of this passion.

I am starting this off with the passage in Romans 3 which states how nobody does righteously not even one person at all.

(Romans 3:9)  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

 

(Romans 3:10)  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

 

(Romans 3:11)  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

 

(Romans 3:12)  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

 

This next passage, also from Romans chapter 3 later on says while all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory they are then justified through grace and what Jesus did for them at the cross and this is through faith and it excludes boasting

(Romans 3:21)  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

 

(Romans 3:22)  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

 

(Romans 3:23)  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 

(Romans 3:24)  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

 

(Romans 3:25)  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

 

(Romans 3:26)  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

 

(Romans 3:27)  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

 

(Romans 3:28)  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

 

This next passage of scripture which contains the last seven verses from Romans chapter 6 speaks of us being freed from sin to live righteous and as servants of God for the wages of sin are death (hell) but God’s gift is eternal life by Jesus

(Romans 6:17)  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

 

(Romans 6:18)  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

 

(Romans 6:19)  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

 

(Romans 6:20)  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

 

(Romans 6:21)  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

 

(Romans 6:22)  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

 

(Romans 6:23)  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

While we were yet weak and in sin God in love sent Jesus to die for us as stated in this passage in Romans chapter 5 as while one mad us all sinners through disobedience one’s obedience also brought all back to righteousness

(Romans 5:6)  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

 

(Romans 5:7)  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

 

(Romans 5:8)  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

 

(Romans 5:9)  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

 

(Romans 5:10)  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

 

(Romans 5:11)  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

 

(Romans 5:12)  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned

 

The final passage here from Romans chapter 10 explains that the word is near us, how to be saved by confessing Jesus as Lord by mouth and believing that God raised Him from the dead and of the virtues of those who preach the gospel for faith comes by hearing the word of God.

(Romans 10:8)  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

 

(Romans 10:9)  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

 

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 

(Romans 10:11)  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

 

(Romans 10:12)  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

 

(Romans 10:13)  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

(Romans 10:14)  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

 

(Romans 10:15)  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

 

(Romans 10:16)  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

 

(Romans 10:17)  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

I feel sure you have now seen enough information by scripture examples now to be ready to pray to God for your salvation from your sins and as a result accept God’s gift of  eternal life with Jesus in heaven. Now I am including in this tract a short salvation prayer that you can say aloud preferably but with all of your heart to ensure that you are saved and have eternal life when you die, going to heaven to be with Jesus forever and not end up going to hell, which is for the devil, demons and the fallen angels and NOT men, forever separated from God who loves you enough to sacrifice His Son for you so you would not have to face this horrible fate as God loves you too much for that.

Heavenly Father I come to You in the Name of Your Son Jesus. I confess to You that I am a sinner and cannot save myself at all. I am sorry for all of my sins that I have done and confess them all to You and repent of all of my sins and unrighteousness that I have done and want to turn away from them all, and also ask You to forgive me for my sins and my past life. Right now I confess with my mouth Jesus as the Lord and Savior of my life and believe in my heart that You, God did indeed raise Him from the dead. I thank You for cleansing me from all unrighteousness and forgiving me of all of my sins and for saving me from hell, a fate which I had deserved because of those sins. I thank You for sending Your Son to die in my place and pay the just penalty for my sins, and for the inexpressible and priceless gift of eternal life that I now claim through the death of Jesus on the cross. Thank You, Lord, again for saving me. In the Name of Jesus I pray Amen

 

God bless you and yours.
