Understanding the Bible June 15, 2008

Review The Bible can never mean… what it never meant. ’Meaning’ is a claim about… reality (subject/complement). One meaning can have… many applications.

Review Statements have no meaning apart from… their context. You find the meaning of a passage… by studying the text in its context. Biblical storytellers are both… historians and theologians.

Big Idea Read the Bible well One key rule: understand the ‘genre’ “A specific category of literature, marked by a distinctive style, form or content” To understand the Bible, it is essential that you determine the genre of the text OT Narrative Epistles Gospels Prophecy Apocalyptic Poetry

Voice in Poetry Compare Psalms (in general) to prophets: Who’s thoughts are expressed?

MSU Laboratory Pre School Using words to teach kids “You are very upset. It seems to bother you when…” Speaking this way teaches kids… To be aware of their own emotions To recognize possible causes of their emotions To know how to talk about their emotions

Hebrew Poetry The Psalms give us words to express what is (or should be) in our hearts.

Biblical Poetry Imagery “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.” Psalm 42:1 Parallelism Synonymous:equal Antithetical:opposite Synthetic:progress Structure Acrostics “Formulas”

Key “Formulas” in Psalms Hymn Praise God for His attributes Thanksgiving Rejoice in God’s work for people Lament Crying out in confidence to God for deliverance

Normal “Thanksgiving” Structure Proclamation to praise God Reflection on past need and prayer Report of deliverance Renewed vow of praise Expression of/exhortation to praise

Psalm I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. 2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. 3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called on the name of the LORD : "O LORD, save me!" 5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. 6 The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.

Psalm Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. 8 For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, 9 that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 10 I believed; therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted." 11 And in my dismay I said, "All men are liars." 12 How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me? 13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. 14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

Psalm Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. 16 O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant; you have freed me from my chains. 17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD. 18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, 19 in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.

What are your thoughts after studying this Psalm?

Application When might you “use” this Psalm? How might you “use” this Psalm?

Conclusion Psalms Give us words to express what is (or should be) on our hearts. Psalm 116 God is worthy of praise, and it is good to praise Him!
