Psalm 15, 24....who...

 Psalms 15, 24....who....

Years, years and more years ago, I had to take a journalism course, one of the many electives to chose from at college...I wasn’t too good at it, let me tell you...not my cup of tea as were my major courses...

But, I still remember this important “law” of information....asking the questions...who, what, when, where and how...when you are getting out a piece of information, whether a brochure, an advertisement, an article...whatever, it has to contain those five concepts...

These two psalms ask “the who” very definitively....two “who’s”...who shall be able to meet with God and who is God....

There are hundreds of references to “who”...in the scriptures...the psalms have  so many...so good...it is worth looking them up and thinking on them ....it is intriguing to see where looking up one word will take you...thank YOU, Who sits on the throne...

O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? 

Who shall dwell on your holy hill? 

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; 

who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend; in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; 

who swears to his own hurt and does not change; 

who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. 

He who does these things shall never be moved.

Psalm 15:1-5

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? 

And who shall stand in his holy place? 

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. 

He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 

Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.  Selah

Psalm 24:3-6 

Who is this King of glory? 

The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord , mighty in battle! ....

Who is this King of glory? 

The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! Selah

Psalm 24:8,10

A few more “who’s” for thought...

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Psalm 1:1-2 

For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?—

Psalm 18:31

Who is the man who fears the Lord? 

Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. 

The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.

Psalm 25:12,14 

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!

Psalm 31:24

 Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. 

The angel of the Lord  encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! 

Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. 

Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?

Psalm 34:5,7-12 

O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.

Psalm 59:17 

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!

Psalm 119:2-3

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; 

who executes justice for the oppressed, 

who gives food to the hungry. 

The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous.

Psalm 146:5-8
