| Contemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
|
Commentary, Psalm 147, James Limburg, Preaching This Week,
WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
| "But the psalm concludes with a
reference to the special privileges of Israel, the people who have
received God's word in the form of "statutes and ordinances." In
other words, Israel has been blessed with directives indicating how
God's people ought to live, such as the ten commandments
(Deuteronomy 5:6-21; see also Deuteronomy 4:5-8, 12-14)." |
|
|
Commentary, Psalm 147:1-11, 20c, Wendell Frerichs, Preaching This
Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
| "...as this Psalm underscores, with privilege
comes responsibility. God is not impressed with our accomplishments.
What really count are obedience, faith, and hope." |

The New
Being (1955), at Religion OnLine.

always, the problem of our own existence. Are we healed, have we received healing forces,
