Comments on Psalms 27-29

Thoughts on Psalm 27

This psalm of David is one of contrast. Verses one through six show him extolling God's protection, but from verses eight through thirteen David pleads with God to hear him and not forsake him. The psalm ends in verse fourteen with David's words of encouragement to hope in the Lord.

Thoughts on Psalm 28

This is a Psalm of David in which he is again crying out to the God he loves. He praises God for hearing and answering his prayer. Three different facets of the heart are described. In verse three: the evil heart. In verse seven: the trusting heart and the rejoicing heart.

Thoughts on Psalm 29

In this psalm by David, he writes of the power of a storm and compares it as the power and voice of God. David speaks of the voice of God no less than seven times, and repeats the name of the Lord eighteen times. This is a psalm of praise.

Steve Webb 0:00The power and voice of God.

Steve Webb 0:10Welcome to the Lifespring family Audio Bible coming to you from Riverside, California and podcasting since 2004. I'm your OG God caster Steve Webb. This is the daily podcast where we're reading through the entire Bible together in a year for the website is at Lifespring media.com. Thanks for inviting me into your day. This is Psalms Wednesday, we'll read chapters 27 through 29, and I'm calling the episode David's praise. Now today, I'm gonna depart just a bit from the normal format. I usually give a brief introduction to each song before reading it. And then after reading all the day's chapters, I share some thoughts with you. Well, in all transparency, I'm afraid I won't have time to share my thoughts with you today after the reading because the lovely lady Liana and I have a date to go see the Johnny Cash movie tonight. We will have the Christmas question number seven today and this time you'll hear a question asked by James in Norway, something about toadstools, as I recall. And then our Christmas expert James Cooper of why christmas.com will of course have the answer. And at the end of the show, I have another sort of mixed up version of a classic Christmas song. And it'll all make sense when we get there. Before we read, let's pray. Our heavenly Father, Lord, we thank you for our time together and we pray God that you would touch our hearts and our minds and Lord, help us to praise you as David dead. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. All right, let's begin.
