Psalm 1

[GarryRicketson]

So we see from the previous, when the spirit of the Lord, comes upon David,..what follows is of interest.

14 ¶But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. * 15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. 16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. 17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. 18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth–lehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him. * 19 ¶Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul. 21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. 22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. 23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

If one reads this carefully, and to me this explains, indeed, to this day, The Songs, and music of David, have the same affect, not just on Saul, but me too, and I believe any one else, that takes the time to read ,"listen" to these "songs" (PSALMS)

[GarryRicketson]

Another interesting thing,

23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul,

This implies, that the "evil spirit" also came from God, yes indeed, God is the creator of ALL things, both Good and evil,..HOLY HOLY HOLY, is Our LORD,...

PSALM 4.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.

1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. * * 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him. 4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. 6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

So for now, that is all I have, being that it is Sunday, now, I am just going to continue reading the Bible, and resting, Monday, tomorow, I go back to work.

Glory be to GOD!
