35 This chapter speaks of those who are ‘wise hearted’ and ‘willing hearted’. It is not sufficient to be willing to work for God. One has, also, to make sure that the work that one does is acceptable to Him. This is why it is essential that the willing one is also wise.
Peter Forbes [Mountsorrel (UK)] Comment added in 2006 Reply to Peter
Exo 35 Moses gathered the congregation of Israel (vs.4-5). The request was made, “whosoever will”,to contribute “of a willingly heart”, materials for the work of construction of the Tabernacle. Bezeleel and Aholiab were filled with the spirit of God necessary for the work (vs.30-35). God put in their hearts that they could teach others (v.34).
We see the same pattern when the first century ecclesias were established.
Jesus called men and women to voluntarily follow him.
“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”(Mark 8:34).
The Apostles were given the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4) for the purpose of establishing the ecclesias (Acts 1:8).
“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”(1Cor 3:10-11).
The Apostles were then to go forth to teach others who would carry on this work
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8).

Notes that are not verse specific
Psalm 92 We are not told who the author is. It is however a song urging faithfulness to God, even though the wicked appear to prosper. This song was traditionally sung on the Sabbath.
Psalm 93 The Septuagint says that David wrote the next seven Psalms. This Psalm is a song rejoicing in God's virtues,
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to John
93 Doubtless we look to the time when God will rule over the kingdoms of men when Christ returns. But do we see Him ruling now?
It is evident from scripture that He is at the moment, even though there is wickedness in the world. It is true today because He is the one who is in charge of who rules countries – Dan 4:17.

1. A Psalm <4210> or Song <7892> for the sabbath <7676> day <3117>. It is a good <2896> thing to give thanks <3034>(8687) unto the LORD <3068>, and to sing praises <2167>(8763) unto thy name <8034>, O most High <5945>:
2. To shew forth <5046>(8687) thy lovingkindness <2617> in the morning <1242>, and thy faithfulness <530> every night <3915>,
3. Upon an instrument of ten strings <6218>, and upon the psaltery <5035>; upon the harp <3658> with a solemn sound <1902>.
4. For thou, LORD <3068>, hast made me glad <8055>(8765) through thy work <6467>: I will triumph <7442>(8762) in the works <4639> of thy hands <3027>.
5. O LORD <3068>, how great <1431>(8804) are thy works <4639>! and thy thoughts <4284> are very <3966> deep <6009>(8804).
6. A brutish <1198> man <376> knoweth <3045>(8799) not; neither doth a fool <3684> understand <995>(8799) this.
7. When the wicked <7563> spring <6524>(8800) as the grass <6212>, and when all the workers <6466>(8802) of iniquity <205> do flourish <6692>(8686); it is that they shall be destroyed <8045>(8736) for ever <5703>:
8. But thou, LORD <3068>, art most high <4791> for evermore <5769>.

11. Mine eye <5869> also shall see <5027>(8686) my desire on mine enemies <7790>, and mine ears <241> shall hear <8085>(8799) my desire of the wicked <7489>(8688) that rise up <6965>(8801) against me.
12. The righteous <6662> shall flourish <6524>(8799) like the palm tree <8558>: he shall grow <7685>(8799) like a cedar <730> in Lebanon <3844>.
13. Those that be planted <8362>(8803) in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> shall flourish <6524>(8686) in the courts <2691> of our God <430>.

15. To shew <5046>(8687) that the LORD <3068> is upright <3477>: he is my rock <6697>, and there is no unrighteousness <5766>(8675) <5766> in him.
1. The LORD <3068> reigneth <4427>(8804), he is clothed <3847>(8804) with majesty <1348>; the LORD <3068> is clothed <3847>(8804) with strength <5797>, wherewith he hath girded <247>(8694) himself: the world <8398> also is stablished <3559>(8735), that it cannot be moved <4131>(8735).
2. Thy throne <3678> is established <3559>(8737) of old <227>: thou art from everlasting <5769>.
3. The floods <5104> have lifted up <5375>(8804), O LORD <3068>, the floods <5104> have lifted up <5375>(8804) their voice <6963>; the floods <5104> lift up <5375>(8799) their waves <1796>.
4. The LORD <3068> on high <4791> is mightier <117> than the noise <6963> of many <7227> waters <4325>, yea, than the mighty <117> waves <4867> of the sea <3220>.

1. Let <3049> <0> a man <444> so <3779> account <3049>(5737) of us <2248>, as <5613> of the ministers <5257> of Christ <5547>, and <2532> stewards <3623> of the mysteries <3466> of God <2316>.
2. <1161> Moreover <3063> it is required <2212>(5743) in <1722> stewards <3623>, that <2443> a man <5100> be found <2147>(5686) faithful <4103>.
3. But <1161> with me <1698> it is <2076>(5748) a very small thing <1519> <1646> that <2443> I should be judged <350>(5686) of <5259> you <5216>, or <2228> of <5259> man's <442> judgment <2250>: yea <235>, I judge <350>(5719) not <3761> mine own self <1683>.
4. For <1063> I know <4894>(5758) nothing <3762> by myself <1683>; yet <235> am I <1344> <0> not <3756> hereby <1722> <5129> justified <1344>(5769): but <1161> he that judgeth <350>(5723) me <3165> is <2076>(5748) the Lord <2962>.
5. Therefore <5620> judge <2919>(5720) nothing <3361> <5100> before <4253> the time <2540>, until <2193> <302> the Lord <2962> come <2064>(5632), who <3739> both <2532> will bring to light <5461>(5692) the hidden things <2927> of darkness <4655>, and <2532> will make manifest <5319>(5692) the counsels <1012> of the hearts <2588>: and <2532> then <5119> shall every man <1538> have <1096>(5695) praise <1868> of <575> God <2316>.
6. And <1161> these things <5023>, brethren <80>, I have in a figure transferred <3345>(5656) to <1519> myself <1683> and <2532> to Apollos <625> for <1223> your sakes <5209>; that <2443> ye might learn <3129>(5632) in <1722> us <2254> not <3361> to think <5426>(5721) of men above <5228> that <2443> which <3739> is written <1125>(5769), that no <3363> one <1520> of you be puffed up <5448>(5747) for <5228> one <1520> against <2596> another <2087>.
7. For <1063> who <5101> maketh <1252> <0> thee <4571> to differ <1252>(5719) from another? and <1161> what <5101> hast thou <2192>(5719) that <3739> thou didst <2983> <0> not <3756> receive <2983>(5627)? <1161> now <2532> if <1499> thou didst receive <2983>(5627) it, why <5101> dost thou glory <2744>(5736), as <5613> if thou hadst <2983> <0> not <3361> received <2983>(5631) it?
8. Now <2235> ye are <2075>(5748) full <2880>(5772), now <2235> ye are rich <4147>(5656), ye have reigned as kings <936>(5656) without <5565> us <2257>: and <2532> I would to God <3785> <1065> ye did reign <936>(5656), that <2443> we <2249> also <2532> might reign with <4821>(5661) you <5213>.
9. For <1063> I think <1380>(5719) that <3754> God <2316> hath set forth <584>(5656) us <2248> the apostles <652> last <2078>, as <5613> it were appointed to death <1935>: for <3754> we are made <1096>(5675) a spectacle <2302> unto the world <2889>, and <2532> to angels <32>, and <2532> to men <444>.
10. We <2249> are fools <3474> for <1223> <0> Christ's <5547> sake <1223>, but <1161> ye <5210> are wise <5429> in <1722> Christ <5547>; we <2249> are weak <772>, but <1161> ye <5210> are strong <2478>; ye <5210> are honourable <1741>, but <1161> we <2249> are despised <820>.
11. Even <891> unto this present <737> hour <5610> we <3983> <0> both <2532> hunger <3983>(5719), and <2532> thirst <1372>(5725), and <2532> are naked <1130>(5719), and <2532> are buffeted <2852>(5743), and <2532> have no certain dwellingplace <790>(5719);
12. And <2532> labour <2872>(5719), working <2038>(5740) with our own <2398> hands <5495>: being reviled <3058>(5746), we bless <2127>(5719); being persecuted <1377>(5746), we suffer it <430>(5736):
13. Being defamed <987>(5746), we intreat <3870>(5719): we are made <1096>(5675) as <5613> the filth <4027> of the world <2889>, and are the offscouring <4067> of all things <3956> unto <2193> this day <737>.
14. I write <1125>(5719) not <3756> these things <5023> to shame <1788>(5723) you <5209>, but <235> as <5613> my <3450> beloved <27> sons <5043> I warn <3560>(5719) you.
15. For <1063> though <1437> ye have <2192>(5725) ten thousand <3463> instructors <3807> in <1722> Christ <5547>, yet <235> have ye not <3756> many <4183> fathers <3962>: for <1063> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> I <1473> have begotten <1080>(5656) you <5209> through <1223> the gospel <2098>.
16. Wherefore <3767> I beseech <3870>(5719) you <5209>, be ye <1096>(5737) followers <3402> of me <3450>.
17. For <1223> <0> this <5124> cause <1223> have I sent <3992>(5656) unto you <5213> Timotheus <5095>, who <3739> is <2076>(5748) my <3450> beloved <27> son <5043>, and <2532> faithful <4103> in <1722> the Lord <2962>, who <3739> shall bring <363> <0> you <5209> into remembrance <363>(5692) of my <3450> ways <3598> which <3588> be in <1722> Christ <5547>, as <2531> I teach <1321>(5719) every where <3837> in <1722> every <3956> church <1577>.
18. Now <1161> some <5100> are puffed up <5448>(5681), as though <5613> I <3450> would <2064> <0> not <3361> come <2064>(5740) to <4314> you <5209>.
19. But <1161> I will come <2064>(5695) to <4314> you <5209> shortly <5030>, if <1437> the Lord <2962> will <2309>(5661), and <2532> will know <1097>(5695), not <3756> the speech <3056> of them which are puffed up <5448>(5772), but <235> the power <1411>.
20. For <1063> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> is not <3756> in <1722> word <3056>, but <235> in <1722> power <1411>.
21. What <5101> will ye <2309>(5719)? shall I come <2064>(5632) unto <4314> you <5209> with <1722> a rod <4464>, or <2228> in <1722> love <26>, and <5037> in the spirit <4151> of meekness <4236>?
1. It is reported <191>(5743) commonly <3654> that there is fornication <4202> among <1722> you <5213>, and <2532> such <5108> fornication <4202> as <3748> is <3687> <0> not so much <3761> as named <3687>(5743) among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, that <5620> one <5100> should have <2192>(5721) his father's <3962> wife <1135>.
2. And <2532> ye <5210> are <2075>(5748) puffed up <5448>(5772), and <2532> have <3996> <0> not <3780> rather <3123> mourned <3996>(5656), that <2443> he that hath done <4160>(5660) this <5124> deed <2041> might be taken away <1808>(5686) from <1537> among <3319> you <5216>.
3. For <1063> I <1473> verily <3303>, as <5613> absent <548>(5752) in body <4983>, but <1161> present <3918>(5752) in spirit <4151>, have judged <2919>(5758) already <2235>, as <5613> though I were present <3918>(5752), concerning him that hath <2716> <0> so <3779> done <2716>(5666) this deed <5124>,
4. In <1722> the name <3686> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, when ye <5216> are gathered together <4863>(5685), and <2532> my <1699> spirit <4151>, with <4862> the power <1411> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>,
5. To deliver <3860>(5629) such an one <5108> unto Satan <4567> for <1519> the destruction <3639> of the flesh <4561>, that <2443> the spirit <4151> may be saved <4982>(5686) in <1722> the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
6. Your <5216> glorying <2745> is not <3756> good <2570>. Know ye <1492>(5758) not <3756> that <3754> a little <3398> leaven <2219> leaveneth <2220>(5719) the whole <3650> lump <5445>?
7. Purge out <1571>(5657) therefore <3767> the old <3820> leaven <2219>, that <2443> ye may be <5600>(5753) a new <3501> lump <5445>, as <2531> ye are <2075>(5748) unleavened <106>. For <1063> even <2532> Christ <5547> our <2257> passover <3957> is sacrificed <2380>(5681) for <5228> us <2257>:
8. Therefore <5620> let us keep the feast <1858>(5725), not <3361> with <1722> old <3820> leaven <2219>, neither <3366> with <1722> the leaven <2219> of malice <2549> and <2532> wickedness <4189>; but <235> with <1722> the unleavened <106> bread of sincerity <1505> and <2532> truth <225>.
9. I wrote <1125>(5656) unto you <5213> in <1722> an epistle <1992> not <3361> to company <4874>(5733) with fornicators <4205>:
10. Yet <2532> not <3756> altogether <3843> with the fornicators <4205> of this <5127> world <2889>, or <2228> with the covetous <4123>, or <2228> extortioners <727>, or <2228> with idolaters <1496>; for <1893> then <686> must ye needs <3784>(5719) go <1831>(5629) out of <1537> the world <2889>.
11. But <1161> now <3570> I have written <1125>(5656) unto you <5213> not <3361> to keep company <4874>(5733), if <1437> any man <5100> that is called <3687>(5746) a brother <80> be <2228> a fornicator <4205>, or <2228> covetous <4123>, or <2228> an idolater <1496>, or <2228> a railer <3060>, or <2228> a drunkard <3183>, or <2228> an extortioner <727>; with such an one <5108> no not <3366> to eat <4906>(5721).
12. For <1063> what <5101> have I <3427> to do to judge <2919>(5721) them also <2532> that are without <1854>? do <2919> <0> not <3780> ye <5210> judge <2919>(5719) them that are within <2080>?
13. But <1161> them that are without <1854> God <2316> judgeth <2919>(5692)(5719). Therefore <2532> put away <1808>(5692) from <1537> among yourselves <5216> that <846> wicked person <4190>.
