| This last conversation is about not giving in. When we give in to hatred because of fear we travel the same road as our enemies. When they breathe our violence, then so do we. It is a natural response to fear and hate. It is also the wrong response to it. What three things does David rely on to not walk the road of his adversaries? | He leads us beside Stillwater!

| David was a warrior and this was a warrior psalm. We all have our own battles. How we handle them will determine our lives. David’s conclusion is a powerful reminder of who is fight our battles and what we need to do: 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! David first question is the most important. It beings the first conversation David has with himself when he is afraid. We are pushed around by a lot of fears in life.

| Sheep are very helpless, they can eat themselves to death if not watched and if you put them on their backs they can die as they can't right themselves.

| There are two references to Jesus in the Psalm 8 passage. The first in Daniel 7:13-14. The second in Hebrews 2:5-15.

| First notice the structure by following the action. One thing you should notice is that the verse breaks in the wrong place. Please note that chapter breaks and verse breaks were done by Robert Stephanus in the 16th century and he had no idea what he was doing and unfortunately they stuck. Verse 5 should begin with “In them he has set…”. If you look closely, you will notice that a person can sing the first line of the song and then the choir responds. This is repeated with both the leader and choir singing the last line together: “whose voice is not heard.” There is a middle part where the leader sings and the choir responds. Then there the final part which is a repeat of the first – leader, response, leader, response, both: “and there sin nothing hidden from its heat.” From this structure you can make out the meaning or point of this song. So what is the point of this song? | God Add Comment |

| Verse 4 is a bit odd. That seems strange. Read Ephesians 4:17-27. The word for anger here is not “be mad” but rather be in awe of God. A better word is fear, or revere. Often when we stew over something we leave God out of it. How would fearing God (trusting, turn it over to God) prevent us from sinning when we are angry at someone and it is keeping us awake? | Be kind to one another Add Comment |
