Psalms 10b - Why Do You Hide Yourself? | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 10 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 10 we have the second half of a pair of matching psalms. It carries on from psalm 9, finishing off the acrostic poem that 9 started. Psalm 9 was a psalm of victory and praise, and Psalm 10 a desperate prayer for help. Why is this matching pair so contrasting, and what is the message for you? Why did David’s mood change so dramatically?

Psalms 9 - I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 9 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 9 we meet a pair of psalms for the first time joined with an acrostic poem. The first stanza of psalm 9 starts with an aleph, the first letter of the hebrew alphabet, and the second with a beth and so on. When Psalm 9 finishes, halfway through the alphabet, psalm 10 carries it on. In this video you will learn a little about Hebrew poetry and acrostic poems, and the marvellous opposing themes of the two Psalms. Psalm 9 is a psalm of victory and praise, and Psalm 10 a desperate prayer for help. Why is this matching pair so contrasting, and what is the message for you?

Psalms 8 - How Majestic is Your Name | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 8 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 8 we have a personal favourite Psalm (I have a few) which is played on a Gittith, and instrument from the city of Gath. David quite possibly acquired this instrument of his enemies while he lived there. The Psalm is quoted by CHrist to his enemies the Pharisees in Matthew 21 and is a song of praise concerning the Lord’s majesty.

Psalms 7- In You Do I Take Refuge | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 7 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 7 we encounter a mediation concerning a descendant of Benjamin who had spoken evil against David. Effectively this is a plaintiff prayer with David bringing this evil man before the Lord in a heavenly trial, and asking for justice. This video considers how to deal with evil people in our lives… there being two processes at work. The first to deal with the enemy in a loving manner, as Christ instructed and what is likely to occur as a result. The second is to deal with God in this plaintiff style as this psalm represents and make the matter a plea for justice.

Psalms 6 - O Lord, Deliver My Life | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 6 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 6 we find the first of seven penitential psalms, but no apparent reason for a prayer like this, unlike in Psalm 51. Very possibly this is the fourth (of four) connected psalms concerning the Absalom issue, and David is wresting not with the sin that prompted it many years earlier (ie the Bathsheba issue) but with the consequences of it. This is a Psalm asking the Lord to spare David from the consequences of sin, as opposed to other prayers with are focussed on the guilt. This Psalm was also played on the sheminith - an eight stringed instrument, most likely a base instrument

Psalms 5 - Lead Me in Your Righteousness | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 5 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 5 the Absalom saga continues (so it seems) and David has woken from a good sleep but his worry is back and he takes up the matter in prayer again. This video considers the various ways that prayers are dealt with and answers obtained. Some issues seem to recur, or take multiple attempts to resolve… such as what seems to be happening to David in this Psalm. Also, this psalm was to be played on a nehiloth - a wind instrument of some type.

Psalms 4 - Answer Me When I Call | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 4 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 4 it would seem we have a continuation of Psalm 3 and the Absalom problem - but this time David has prayed through the issue and come to peace. The Lord is with him and he is able to rest secure. We all have problems bigger than us, but when the Lord gets his hands on them, we are able to rest in peace. This video considers how to get a good sleep even with worries in your life.

Psalms 3 - Save Me, O My God! | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 3 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 3 we have the first labelled Psalm of David - when he was fleeing for his life from his son Absalom. This is probably the first of four linked psalms all on the subject of David’s escape from Absalom covering the range of his emotions, prayers and experience as he went through this difficult time. In Psalm 3 he is anxious and cries out to God for help from his insurmountable enemies. We too have insurmountable problems at times…. This psalm is a help.
