30 The Book Of Psalms 90-106 (Bible Reading)

Описание: This is the thirtieth study in the series, and we are looking once more at the book of Psalms. In our previous study, I pointed out the book of Psalms has been divided into five sub-books, often called the Five Books of Psalms.

Book 1: Psalms 1-41 (1 hr, 5 min to read)
• Total 41: David (37); Anonymous (4)
Book 2: Psalms 42-72 (51 min to read)
• Total 31: David (18); Asaph (1); Korah (7); Solomon (1); Anonymous (4)
Book 3: Psalms 73-89 (36 min to read)
• Total 17: David (1); Asaph (11); Korah (3); Ethan (1); Heman (1)
Book 4: Psalms 90-106 (31 min to read)
• Total 17: David (2); Moses (1); Anonymous (14)
Book 5: Psalms 107-150 (1 hr, 10 min to read)
• Total 44: David (15); Solomon (1); Anonymous (28)

For this study, we are looking at the fourth book of Psalms, beginning with Psalm 90 and ending with Psalm 106. It takes 31 minutes to read in a single sitting. This is a total of seventeen Psalms, two of which are ascribed to David, one to Moses and fourteen are anonymous.

In preparation for your reading of this fourth book, I would like to say three things about it.

First, the New Testament quotations.

Of the seventeen Psalms, the New Testament writers quote from eight of them.

Psalm 90—Psalm 90:1 (Matthew 22:44)

Psalm 91—Psalm 91:11,12 (Matthew 4:6)

Psalm 94—Psalm 94:11 (1 Corinthians 3:20)

Psalm 95—Psalm 95:7 (Hebrews 3:7)

Psalm 97—Psalm 97:7 (Hebrews 1:6)

Psalm 98—Psalm 98:22 (Matthew 21:42)

Psalm 102—Psalm 102:25 (Hebrews 1:10)

Psalm 104—Psalm 104:4 (Hebrews 1:7)

As I have pointed out in the previous studies, the book of Psalms is a gospel book, which is why the New Testament writers quote from it so frequently. The gospel of the New Testament is the gospel of the Old Testament. There is one gospel, and both Testaments proclaim it. My dear friends, I cannot say it enough times—if the book of Psalms is to yield spiritual benefit to us, then we must read it within the context of the gospel of Christ.
