Personalities



Psalm 18[a]

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:


1  I love you, Lord, my strength.

2  The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.

3  I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
    and I have been saved from my enemies.

4  The cords of death entangled me;
    the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

5  The cords of the grave coiled around me;
    the snares of death confronted me.

6  In my distress I called to the Lord;
    I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
    my cry came before him, into his ears.

7  The earth trembled and quaked,
    and the foundations of the mountains shook;
    they trembled because he was angry.

8  Smoke rose from his nostrils;
    consuming fire came from his mouth,
    burning coals blazed out of it.

9  He parted the heavens and came down;
    dark clouds were under his feet.

10  He mounted the cherubim and flew;
    he soared on the wings of the wind.

11  He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
    the dark rain clouds of the sky.

12  Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
    with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

13  The Lord thundered from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded.[d]

14  He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
    with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

15  The valleys of the sea were exposed
    and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
    at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

16  He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
    he drew me out of deep waters.

17  He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
    from my foes, who were too strong for me.

18  They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
    but the Lord was my support.

19  He brought me out into a spacious place;
    he rescued me because he delighted in me.

20  The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
    according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

21  For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
    I am not guilty of turning from my God.

22  All his laws are before me;
    I have not turned away from his decrees.

23  I have been blameless before him
    and have kept myself from sin.

24  The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
    according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

25  To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
    to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26  to the pure you show yourself pure,
    but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.

27  You save the humble
    but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

28  You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
    my God turns my darkness into light.

29  With your help I can advance against a troop[e];
    with my God I can scale a wall.

30  As for God, his way is perfect:
    The Lord’s word is flawless;
    he shields all who take refuge in him.

31  For who is God besides the Lord?
    And who is the Rock except our God?

32  It is God who arms me with strength
    and keeps my way secure.

33  He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
    he causes me to stand on the heights.

34  He trains my hands for battle;
    my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35  You make your saving help my shield,
    and your right hand sustains me;
    your help has made me great.

36  You provide a broad path for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.

37  I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
    I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

38  I crushed them so that they could not rise;
    they fell beneath my feet.

39  You armed me with strength for battle;
    you humbled my adversaries before me.

40  You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
    and I destroyed my foes.

41  They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—

    to the Lord, but he did not answer.

42  I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
    I trampled them[f] like mud in the streets.

43  You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
    you have made me the head of nations.
People I did not know now serve me,
44      foreigners cower before me;
    as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.

45  They all lose heart;
    they come trembling from their strongholds.

46  The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
    Exalted be God my Savior!

47  He is the God who avenges me,
    who subdues nations under me,

48      who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
    from a violent man you rescued me.

49  Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing the praises of your name.

50  He gives his king great victories;
    he shows unfailing love to his anointed,
    to David and to his descendants forever.

My Dearest Girlfriend Didi (from all the way back to the sixth grade) and I were reminiscing yesterday about the house where she grew up. It brought to mind an important moment in my musical life. Didi had just gotten a record that she said was too long for the radio. We sat on her bed with the little record player between us, played Side One of the 45 RPM Record, flipped it over to Side Two and played the rest of the song. The song was over six minutes long, but pretty soon the Radio Stations started playing it anyway because it was so different. The Song was "Like A Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan. He wrote it after a particularly grueling worldwide tour, according to Wikipedia. However, my own personal belief at the time (and still is) that Dylan wrote that song, along with "Maggie's Farm" and a few others, in rebellion against Pete Seeger and the Left attempting to hijack Dylan's music to suit their agenda. Just my opinion.😊

Another song that Dylan wrote that's "too long for radio" is "Black Diamond Bay" from the "Desire" Album. It's over seven minutes long, but tells a fascinating story about a slice of life in a tropical casino, an earthquake, a volcano, a Greek who commits suicide, a soldier, a jewelry salesman, and an expat woman with a past. It ends up with a Walter Cronkite newscast, and a man going for another beer.

I'd love to sing it at Open Mic Nite, but IT'S TOO LONG!

Psalm 18 is long, and I was considering dividing it up...but then I remembered Didi and her little record player.

There's so much in this song that tells us about David's Personality. He even prefaces the song, telling us why and when he wrote it. This is from the time he was on the run from Saul, and David shows us in this Psalm his utter dependence on God. We also see a lot of the Various Descriptive Names of God appearing in this Psalm as well.

The song is long, but there are no wasted words.

It's worth taking the time to read it.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The LORD (Psalm 33)

God Bless America.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Amen to your word and prayer and long songs. Now you have me thinking about them. Mostly those first hippy psychedelic songs even to out of the west Texas town of Loredo. And now we have super long praise songs, but mostly with repeticious lyrics.

Good morning. May I offer a little prayer for clarity, wisdom and safety for all the attendees of the Convention. I hope they can come together to meet the challenges this cycle presents.

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
