Psalm 119:105 according to The Living Bible Translation says "Your words are a flashlight to light the path ahead of me and keep me from stumbling."
Without the light provided by the Word, life would become a game of trial and error with stumbling as its inevitable outcome. The Word of God is what provides the compass for successful navigation in this earthly pilgrimage.
Also, just as aquatic organisms depend on water bodies for their survival and existence, the Christian life has to be lived in accordance with the Word of God if it must thrive.
It is against this background that this volume is written to further introduce you to ways by which your life could be lived in absolute accordance with the Word of God on a daily basis. The Principles in this volume are timeless and will deliver results every time they are applied.
I pray as you read on, God's grace to apply these principles will rest upon you in Jesus' Name.
Blessed are those who walk in the perfect way, who walk in the law of the LORD. - Psalm 119:1
The singular blending of testimony, prayer, and praise in Psalm 119 is admirable. In one verse, the psalmist bears witness; in a second verse, he praises; in a third verse, he prays. It is an incense made up of many spices, but they are wonderfully mixed and worked together to form one perfect sweetness. The blending greatly increases the value of the whole. You would not like to have the first third of the psalm composed of prayer, then second third made up exclusively of praise, and the third portion entirely made of testimony. It is best to have all these divinely sweet ingredients intermixed and worked together into a sacred unity, as you have them in this thrice-hallowed psalm. Its prayers bear witness, and its testimonies are fragrant with praise.
This wonderful psalm, from its great length, helps us to marvel at the immensity of Scripture. As it keeps to the same subject, it helps us adore the unity of Scripture. Yet, from the many turns it brings to that one subject, it helps us see the variety of Scripture. How manifold are the words and thoughts of God! In His Word, just as in creation, the wonders of His skill are displayed in many ways.

Описание: During the Reformation, the Book of Psalms became one of the most well-known books of the Bible. This was particularly true in Britain, where people of all ages, social classes and educational abilities memorized and sang poetic versifications of the psalms. Those written by Thomas Sternhold and John Hopkins became the most popular, and the simple tunes developed and used by English and Scottish churches to accompany these texts were carried by soldiers, sailors and colonists throughout the English-speaking world. Among these tunes were a number that are still used today, including ’Old Hundredth’, ’Martyrs’, and ’French’. This book is the first to consider both English and Scottish metrical psalmody, comparing the two traditions in print and practice. It combines theological literary and musical analysis to reveal new and ground-breaking connections between the psalm texts and their tunes, which it traces in the English and Scottish psalters printed through 1640. Using this new analysis in combination with a more thorough evaluation of extant church records, Duguid contends that Britain developed and maintained two distinct psalm cultures, one in England and the other in Scotland.

Описание:
SINGING the PSALMS is the KEY to opening up EVERLASTING MYSTERIES of GOD AS HE REVEALS HIMSELF.
The Psalms are an ancient-modern approach to spiritual education, knowing God, experiencing God's presence, and praising Him through personal and group meditation. Meant and authorized for worshiping the Almighty by the writers themselves, and by Paul the apostle, the canonizers of Scripture agreed, the Psalms were meant to be sung.
How can we help correct what is wrong with our world? We need to take the time to enjoy the Psalms, and memorize their truths. Let these lyrics sink down to the roots of your soul. Teach them to your children. Have fun and start deep discussions by singing them together.
On a tour of Israel, it is good to tour the mindset of the people in history who lived there. Sing on the bus, or use for deeper meditations of walking tours and prayer walks.
Larkins offers us a quintessential western music guide to singing the biblical Psalms.

Описание: This unique volume on the Psalms is the final Hebrew Bible installment of the Texts@Contexts series. Each contribution provides a contextual reflection on a Psalm as chosen by the contributor. These contributions take account of the contributor's own personal context or the contexts of those around them, providing readings that are varied in geographical and linguistic scope, that reflect on pressing themes such as immigration, diversity, race, marginalized voices (such as those of adults with learning disabilities) and postcolonialism. Scholars also reflect on their own contexts of research and education. Taken together the contributions to this volume provide a sort of contextual commentary on the Psalms, gathering a wide range of voices and reflecting a diverse range of cultural afterlives of the Psalms.
