Psalm 92

1.It is good to praise the Lord and make music to Your name, O Most High
2. To proclaim Your love in the morning and Your faithfulness at night- continously being thankful for Abba Father's love and faithfulness.
3. To the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
4. For You make me glad by Your deeds O Lord, I sing for joy at the works of Your hands- rejoicing over God's saving and gracious acts over our lives everyday
5. How great are Your works O Lord, how profound Your thoughts- the writer admires the miracles God has done and the depth of God's thoughts. the depth of it is reflected by His deeds.
12. The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon- the cedar of Lebanon symbolizes strength and magnificence. cedar wood is also very aromatic. the righteous smell good. =)
13. Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of the Lord- the righteous will be planted in a secure place and will be fruitful.
14. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green- being supplied by God's living waters.
15. Proclaiming, " The Lord is upright, He is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in Him." - therefore strive to be pure for our God is holy and cannot abide wickedness.

Psalm 45

i love Psalm 45. Especially the first verse. the headings say, to the tune of "Lilies". Of the Sons of Korah. A wedding song.

1. My heart is stirred by a noble theme

as I recite my verses for the king,

my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

2. You are the most excellent of men

and your lips have been anointed with grace

since God has blessed you forever.

3. Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one

clothe yourself with splendour and majesty.

It speaks of King David's marriage preparations to a princess from Tyre. Read on and there's the princess' preparation. Gowns woven with gold, embroidered garments. Beautiful, no? In my opinion, this was probably a very popular, topping the charts tune back in that era. =D You got the ephod-wearing levites toe-tapping, swaying to this song. There is a song based on this psalm by Greg Silverman titled 'Noble Theme'. Ah, lovely lovelies.
