Psalms - Book Four at a glance

PSALMS - Book Four at a glance

Psalms 90:1 - 106:48

 

Summary of Book Four: “These psalms include a prayer of Moses, a psalm about oppressors, and a psalm praising God as our King. These psalms remind us that we should remember our place and be submissive before our mighty God.” *

 

The Basic Theme: “God’s eternal nature is contrasted with people’s frailty. Our time on earth is limited and we are to use it wisely, not living for the moment, but with our eternal home in mind.” *

 

Interesting fact: The first psalm in book four is Moses prayer, which he wrote himself. That makes Psalm 90 the oldest writing in all the psalms. While several of the 16 psalms in book four are attributed to King David, most of the authors are anonymous, as he or she is not known. This small collection of psalms 

 

The Blueprint - Book Four: “This collection of Psalms, mainly written by unknown authors, is similar to the book of Numbers. Just as Numbers discusses the relationship of the nation of Israel to surrounding nations, these psalms often mention the relationship of God’s overruling Kingdom to the other nations. Because we are citizens of the Kingdom of God, we can keep the events and troubles of earth in their proper perspective.” *

 

Next we will look at the fifth book of Psalms (107:1 - 150:6), until then walk with the King and be a blessing.

In His name & for His glory,
