Ep 87. Psalms 31-35: The LORD Is a Mountain Fortress (Women’s Bible Study)

We are winding down our study of the first book of Psalms in our Women's Bible Study. This is our next to last week in this study. This was a great week!

We begin with Ps 31, a lament of David, where we learn that our God is a Mountain Fortress. Can you think of all the advantages of a mountain fortress? Now think of how much better a fortress the LORD is since he is a fortress made without human hands!!

Psalm 32 is a penintential Psalm. David is confessing is sin and asking the LORD to surround him with his covenental love.

Psalm 33 is a praise Psalm, and it is a mini study of the character and attributes of God.  I counted 14 attributes listed in this Psalm. How many did you count?

Psalm 34 is a song of Thanksgiving written by David in a time that could have easily resulted in a Psalm of Lament. 

Finally, Psalm 35 is a Penitential Psalm, one of only 7 in the entire Psalter. Is David justified in praying judgement against his enemies? Listen to find out why this is proper that David pray this prayer.
