Psalm 146 Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;

    I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.


***One of David’s psalms of victory. He has learned…because at some point in his trials, God has opened his eyes…and now he sees the defeat of his enemies. Why? Because now he sees The Lord who is his Salvation = Yeshua!✝️


3 Put not your trust in princes,

    in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

(Proverbs 11:3)


4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; (Psalm 103:15-16; Isaiah 40:6-8)

    on that very day his plans perish. 

(Luke12:13-34)


5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,

(Psalm 143:7-12)

    whose hope is in the Lord his God,


6 who made heaven and earth,

    the sea, and all that is in them,

(Genesis 1; Isaiah 40:12-31)

who keeps faith forever;

(Isaiah 40:9:11)


***from this point onwards, David will prophecy of his descendant - The Son Of David, who is Messiah***


vs.7  who executes justice for the oppressed,

(Matt 8:2-4; Luke 18:35-43)

    who gives food to the hungry.

(Matthew 5:6)

***See John 6 vs.1-15 - then vs.22-59***


The Lord sets the prisoners free;

(Luke 8:26-39)

***John 11:23-44…A foreshadowing of Jesus’s resurrection;***

***Matthew 27:45-54…A foreshadowing of our resurrection - 1Thessalonians 4:13-18***


vs.8     the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.

(Luke 18:35-44; John ch. 9)


The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;

(Luke 7:11-17; John 5:1-9)

***Ultimately, Jesus will lift us all up from the burden of sin: In carrying His OWN cross (John19:17) He will take our sins, and make them His own - 2Corinthians 5:21***


    the Lord loves the righteous.

vs.9 The Lord watches over the sojourners;

(Matthew 15:21-28; Luke 7:1-10)

    he upholds the widow and the fatherless,

(Luke7:11-17)

but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

(Matthew 23:1-36; Luke 15:1-7; John 5:31-47; 9:41)


10 The Lord will reign forever,

(Revelation 19:11-21)

    your God, O Zion, to all generations.

(Revelation 21 & 22)


Praise the Lord!

 (Teaching notes) Bible study Lesson 1: Anchor scripture:  Hebrews 9:1-10  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%209%3A1-10&version=ESV “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John14:6) Welcome to the tabernacle of Moses… Given to Moses by God on Mt Sinai… It tells the story of redemption…and shows us the Way to Salvation… It is the place where God (His shekhinah glory) came to dwell among us, before he came as one of us. (“Shekhinah”  - literally means “dwelling” The Glory of God with man.) A walk through… As we enter in at the east end (just as Jesus came into Jerusalem from the East gate…and will come again the same Way) we come face to face with an imposing altar: Read Exodus 27:1-7.   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2027%3A1-7&version=ESV This is the first place you are confronted with when you enter in…it is so noticeable you cannot avoid it. It is an appalling p...
