Jeremiah 20:7,9: “O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. (9) Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But [his word] was in mine heart
Psalms 91:7: “A thousand shall fall by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; it shall not come near your.” Ok September 23 has come and gone and it appears to be business as usual, no disasters. Wait, I take that back, my internet provider had a crash and I
Psalms 91:10: “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.” This is the first mention of evil in this Psalm. We have pestilence, arrows, and terrors by day and night, destruction and thousands falling but the Psalmist has yet to mention anything about evil until now.
Psalms 91:8: “Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.” Leave it to the KJV to come up with a word which in the twenty first century sounds like an absurdity. The wicked are going to get a reward. Today the word reward is reference to something good

Psalms 103:3: “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;” Some translations will say Who forgives all you sins. The Hebrew however, makes a distinction between sins and iniquities. In fact there is a third level known as trespasses. In Ephesians 2:1 we find. “And you [hath he quickened], who were
Psalms 103:2: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:” Sometimes it is really hard to bless the Lord. The old soul gets knocked down, dragged out and stomped upon and the last thing it wants to do is praise the Lord. It would just like to crawl under yon
Psalms 103:2: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:” David again commands his soul to bless the Lord. How do you bless the Lord? I guess that depends upon what you mean by bless. We say it all the time in worship that we are blessing the Lord
Ps 103:1: “ A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.” All that is within me bless his holy name. I wonder what I have inside of me that can bless the name of the Lord. Why does he not say with
