31 The Book Of Psalms 107-150 (Bible Reading)

Описание: This is the thirty-first study in the series, and we are looking for the last time at the book of Psalms. In our previous studies, I have 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 fifth book of Psalms, beginning with Psalm 107 and ending with Psalm 150. It takes one hour and ten minutes to read in a single sitting. This is a total of forty-four Psalms, fifteen of which are ascribed to David, one to Solomon and twenty-eight are anonymous.

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

First, the New Testament quotations.

Of the forty-four Psalms, the New Testament writers quote from seven of them.

Psalm 109—Psalm 109:3 (John 15:25); Psalm 109:8 (Acts 1:20)

Psalm 110—Psalm 110:1 (Matthew 22:24); Psalm 110:1 (Mark 12:30); Psalm 110:1 (Luke 10:27); Psalm 110:4 (Hebrews 5:6)

Psalm 112—Psalm 112:9 (2 Corinthians 9:9)

Psalm 116—Psalm 116:10 (2 Corinthians 4:13)

Psalm 117—Psalm 117:1 (Romans 15:11)

Psalm 118—Psalm 118:6 (Hebrews 13:6); Psalm 118:22,23 (Matthew 21:42)

Psalm 140—Psalm 140:4 (Romans 3:13)

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. As I have emphasized week by week, if we are to derive spiritual benefit from this book of the Bible, then we must read it within the context of the gospel of Christ.
