Onyekachukwu Ogechi Levinus Alaka on Psalms 12:6 - 4 years ago
The words of the Lord are pure - Without the least mixture of falsehood, and therefore shall be infallibly fulfilled. Men often speak rashly, and promise what they cannot perform, and deceitfully, what they never intend to perform. But God's words are different; they are pure from all manner of dross; from all folly, or fraud, or uncertainty. "Often have they been put to the test, in the trials of the faithful, like silver committed to the furnace in an earthen crucible; but, like silver in its most refined and exalted purity, found to contain no dross. The words of God are holy in his precepts, just in his laws, gracious in his promises, significant in his institutions, true in his narrations, and infallible in his predictions. What are thousands of gold and silver, compared to the treasures of the sacred page.
Psalm 12 verse 7 shows that God preserves His Word. Therefore, we can trust a true translation of the Bible from the original received text such as KJV-not new KJV, not NIV, etc, where men's ideas of what God has said are presented.
David felt surrounded by evil men who were being promoted to positions of power. They deceived and manipulated words to gain advantage, using their authority to oppress the poor. The LORD promises to cut these vile ones off and establish righteousness and justice. David takes comfort in his only reliable witness, the purified truth of God's preserved Word.
GOD or LORD in all caps is GOD or LORD. it can be nothing else. To make it something else is changing the holy, infallible word of GOD. We are instructed not to change one jot or one tittle. Who do you think GOD was talking to in GENESIS when HE said, "let US make man in OUR image? Was GOD talking to himself then?
David is Telling us that Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at my Right Hand. Are you saying The Bible Says Jesus is Talking to Himself? Who's Sitting Next to Who. Who is Talking to Who? You Need to Talk with a Pastor. Get a Concordance, do a Word Study.You can look it up Yourself, Look for LORD and Lord. Ask Yourself why is One All Capital Letters and The Other is Not. Read John 6:44.
Will: GOD or LORD with all Capital Letters is Jehovah. Psalm 110:1 Reads: Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies they footstool. 12:3 Jehovah shall cut off all flattering lips and The tongue that speaketh proud things:
TO BSP: verse 3 says "THE LORD" not "JEHOVAH GOD". read it again. Then read in revelation where it says not to change one jot or tittle in the WORD OF GOD.
Jesus spoke of the woman and the 10 pieces of silver ( Luke 15:8-10). the Woman is Zion ( Jeremiah 6:2), and the 10 pieces are each of his commandments ( Psalms 12:6). AND the one piece that went missing is his Fourth Commandment. You cannot find the missing piece without the light ( Psalms 18:28).
There is an empty world in our words to one another,vanity on display.A world of spiritual poor and needy vs. prideful predators who are gods unto themselves.Almighty God is present and not without a plan which will glorify himself.Where believers fall short,God is there to help,to accomplish his will be done.Despite wicked on every side,God is faithful to preserve/protect his people.Trust in God.
yes this true and i must obey all my father has giving me the tools and one will hear for i love all my father is in us and thru one he speak yet ability are set in and preserve when needed i am only to obey his love and show one can deside for one self yet i am to pull those chosen one out for i to am not of this world and i prey for it amen
I think this verse of scripture helps us every woman, man, girl or boy to realize that as The Lord spoke pure words continues to speak pure words, we should do the the same.
It is a psalm that draws us closer to God, as a god that we can depend. when all else fails and all others forsake us. He will be there. He is our God.
Praise The Lord Jesus he is OWESOME THEIR NO One LIKE HIM NO WHERE I THANK HIM FOR SAVING MY SOUL FEELING ME WITH HIS HOLY GHOST. I WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT HIM Amen
Dear Friends, This ALL Powerful and Convicting Verse in The Great Book of Psalms 12:5 Found In The King James Version Holy Bible, Clearly Reveals The Willingness of The ALMIGHTY Presences and Actions of The HOLY SPIRIT of GOD in ALL of Our Lives... What A Shining Example of What WE ALL Should Be Doing To Care For Our Fellow Brothers, Sisters and Neighbors Internally and Externally To Our Communities Beyond... Praise The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY For ALL of His Blessings From Above Merry Christmas!!!
Iam amazed today how so many claim to know a God ? What God ? The God of allah ?the God of Buddah ? The God of Hindus ? So many Gods , God of the Hebrews ? This God name has become universal : it fits into satans end time agenda to bring altogether as one ; be not not deceived : the only true name given among men whereby they must be saved will only come by the name of JESUS CHRIST ( The Son ) !!
To Mockingbird on 'the pure word of God'. I agree with everything you said. I was a backslider from 1979 to 2014 -- aprox. 34 yrs. and over the last 2 yrs. of that - He gradually brought me back - and I didn't even know it was happening. His MERCY endureth forever........................
Amen, this is a true verse that everyone should live by everyday but some don't because they are weak and think the world owes them a living !! They owe God their life and pure existence ! ,
There was a question asked that because God s word says that His word is pure then why is it that not many keep His commandments : reason is that God gave man a free will : It is up to every individual to will to do God's will : God will not force Himself on anyone that does not want to serve Him. A lot of people are happy with just being saved and doing there own pleasures : But they do not have to stay that way : God is still waiting for those that are such. I myself have to make the decision every day that I will seek His face , His word to give me direction : To be able to walk in the pathway that He has already mapped out for me. It is never to late and your never to old or young to be in the will of God !!!
