Twelve Psalm bible study

 

 Here is a bible study for your encouragement and study from the book of Psalms. These have different attributes but all will help you get a closer and better walk with God. Most of these were suggested in a class today at school but two also came through the Holy Spirit. I hope you find this study beneficial. Commentary is minimal to allow God’s word to speak for itself in its own powerful way. I am also including a short salvation teaching and then a prayer for those who want to ask Jesus to come into their heart at the end of this.

The first Psalm is one to encourage you to pray for Jerusalem, Psalm 122

(Psalms 122:1)  A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

(Psalms 122:4)  Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

 

(Psalms 122:5)  For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

 

(Psalms 122:6)  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Psalm 8 explains how high God values you and enables you to understand yourself more clearly

(Psalms 8:1)  To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

 

(Psalms 8:2)  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

 

(Psalms 8:3)  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

 

(Psalms 8:4)  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

 

(Psalms 8:5)  For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

 

(Psalms 8:6)  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

Psalm 51 is a powerful Psalm which encourages all of us to get forgiveness and repentance for all of our sins.

(Psalms 51:1)  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

 

(Psalms 51:2)  Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

 

(Psalms 51:3)  For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

 

(Psalms 51:4)  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

 

(Psalms 51:5)  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

 

(Psalms 51:6)  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

 

(Psalms 51:7)  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

 

(Psalms 51:8)  Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

 

(Psalms 51:9)  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

 

(Psalms 51:10)  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

 

(Psalms 51:11)  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

 

(Psalms 51:12)  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

 

(Psa 51:13)  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

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.
