Notes that are not verse specific
Today, a "Thought" I heard from someone else. The Levites had to camp around the
Tabernacle. So, when the other tribes looked towards God's tent, they would have to
look through the Levites. In a spiritual sense therefore, the tribe of Levi had to be
invisible, so that the people could see God. What a lesson for us. Our lives must be
transparent, so that people can see through us to God.

Originally all firstborn were to be the LORD's (Exo 13:11-15).
Now, the Levites were to be surrogate firstborn for Israel.
Therefore, their inheritance became the LORD (Deut 10:9). The Levites were given this honour to serve the LORD because they stood by Moses against the Golden Calf worshippers (Exo 32:25-29).

Psalm 150 This last Psalm calls for the use of all available types of instruments, (V,3-5) to be used in praise to Israel's God.

CLIMAX WITH PRAISE
It is fitting that the last Psalm in the book of Psalms should be one that has no other purpose than to exalt the LORD our God in praise. The book of Psalms is the hymn book of the Bible and there is no better way to conclude the music than with praise to God.
Praise is the best way we can use the gift of music. It uses the fullness of sound, the variety of musical instruments, tones, rhythms and differences in pitch and volume top make sound that is pleasing to both the ear and the emotions. Music is a most spectacular gift which God has given us, and life without it would be Gray, to say the least. We need to give some of that gift back to him as a gift of praise from our hearts.
Psalm 150, being the last Psalm in the book of Psalms, gives us a pattern we should follow in our own lives. Throughout the book of Psalms we come across numerous pockets of praise and blessing interspersed with cries and petitions of prayer. But here, right at the end, is the climax of the whole book - a Psalm of pure praise. So our worship should follow a similar pattern. Whatever our songs, prayers or meditations, let us always remember to conclude by exalting the LORD in praise with music in our hearts and voices.
Praise the LORD. Hallelujah!
Robert Prins [Auckland - Pakuranga - (NZ)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to Robert
Psa 150 is a beautiful way to conclude this huge book of Psalms. Let’s praise the Lord with anything and everything we have. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.
David Simpson [Worcester (UK)] Comment added in 2005 Reply to David
Ps. 148 describes the LORD as creator and controller of heaven and earth. He created all things and set their boundaries. By His power, He controls everything, from the natural elements to earthly rulers. Although most people deny His existence, the LORD continues to sustain life while patiently working His Will to a pre-determined end.

Psalm 150 - in the Messianic kingdom of God on earth era there will be tremendous joy, and praising of God and His Son (Rev 5:12-13;1Cor 15:24-28).

ch 13 - REPENT
About six thousand people were killed on Sept 11th 2001 in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon in the USA. Many have been asking, Why? God alone knows the reason and he knows exactly who was there. None of us may ever know the answers until God's kingdom is established on the Earth. However, what can be seen from this event is a picture of the judgement that will happen when Christ returns.
Jesus spoke about similar events in his own day. The tower of Siloam fell and killed 18 people. Pilate killed a number of people as they fulfilled their religious duties. Jesus said about all the people caught up in these tragedies that they were not worse sinners than anyone else and they were no more guilty than you or me. Then he said, "But unless you repent you too will all perish."
The same warning holds true for today also. Unless we repent, we too will face destruction just as those thousands of people in the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon, and on all the aircraft involved, perished. They were not worse sinners than the rest of us, but now are an example to us to repent and get our lives at one with God. Turn to him today before it is too late.

2. And <2532> Jesus <2424> answering <611>(5679) said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Suppose ye <1380>(5719) that <3754> these <3778> Galilaeans <1057> were <1096>(5633) sinners <268> above <3844> all <3956> the Galilaeans <1057>, because <3754> they suffered <3958>(5754) such things <5108>?
3. I tell <3004>(5719) you <5213>, Nay <3780>: but <235>, except <3362> ye repent <3340>(5725), ye shall <622> <0> all <3956> likewise <5615> perish <622>(5698).
4. Or <2228> those <1565> eighteen <1176> <2532> <3638>, upon <1909> whom <3739> the tower <4444> in <1722> Siloam <4611> fell <4098>(5627), and <2532> slew <615>(5656) them <846>, think ye <1380>(5719) that <3754> they <3778> were <1096>(5633) sinners <3781> above <3844> all <3956> men <444> that dwelt <2730>(5723) in <1722> Jerusalem <2419>?
5. I tell <3004>(5719) you <5213>, Nay <3780>: but <235>, except <3362> ye repent <3340>(5725), ye shall <622> <0> all <3956> likewise <3668> perish <622>(5698).
6. He spake <3004>(5707) also <1161> this <5026> parable <3850>; A certain <5100> man had <2192>(5707) a fig tree <4808> planted <5452>(5772) in <1722> his <848> vineyard <290>; and <2532> he came <2064>(5627) and sought <2212>(5723) fruit <2590> thereon <1722> <846>, and <2532> found <2147>(5627) none <3756>.
7. Then <1161> said he <2036>(5627) unto <4314> the dresser of his vineyard <289>, Behold <2400>(5628), these three <5140> years <2094> I come <2064>(5736) seeking <2212>(5723) fruit <2590> on <1722> this <5026> fig tree <4808>, and <2532> find <2147>(5719) none <3756>: cut <1581> <0> it <846> down <1581>(5657); why <2444> <2532> cumbereth <2673>(5719) it <846> the ground <1093>?
8. And <1161> he answering <611>(5679) said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Lord <2962>, let <863> <0> it <846> alone <863>(5628) this <5124> year <2094> also <2532>, till <2193> <3755> I shall dig <4626>(5661) about <4012> it <846>, and <2532> dung <906>(5632) <2874> it:
9. And if <2579> <3303> it bear <4160>(5661) fruit <2590>, well: and if not <1490>, then after that <1519> <3195>(5723) thou shalt cut <1581> <0> it <846> down <1581>(5692).
10. And <1161> he was <2258>(5713) teaching <1321>(5723) in <1722> one <3391> of the synagogues <4864> on <1722> the sabbath <4521>.
11. And <2532>, behold <2400>(5628), there was <2258>(5713) a woman <1135> which had <2192>(5723) a spirit <4151> of infirmity <769> eighteen <1176> <2532> <3638> years <2094>, and <2532> was <2258>(5713) bowed together <4794>(5723), and <2532> could <1410>(5740) in <1519> no <3361> wise <3838> lift up <352>(5658) herself.
12. And <1161> when Jesus <2424> saw <1492>(5631) her <846>, he called <4377>(5656) her to him, and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto her <846>, Woman <1135>, thou art loosed <630>(5769) from thine <4675> infirmity <769>.
13. And <2532> he laid <2007> <0> his hands <5495> on <2007>(5656) her <846>: and <2532> immediately <3916> she was made straight <461>(5681), and <2532> glorified <1392>(5707) God <2316>.
14. And <1161> the ruler of the synagogue <752> answered <611>(5679) with indignation <23>(5723), because <3754> that Jesus <2424> had healed <2323>(5656) on the sabbath <4521> day, and said <3004>(5707) unto the people <3793>, There are <1526>(5748) six <1803> days <2250> in <1722> which <3739> men ought <1163>(5748) to work <2038>(5738): in <1722> them <5025> therefore <3767> come <2064>(5740) and be healed <2323>(5744), and <2532> not <3361> on the sabbath <4521> day <2250>.
15. The Lord <2962> then <3767> answered <611>(5662) him <846>, and <2532> said <2036>(5627), Thou hypocrite <5273>, doth <3089> <0> not <3756> each one <1538> of you <5216> on the sabbath <4521> loose <3089>(5719) his <848> ox <1016> or <2228> his ass <3688> from <575> the stall <5336>, and <2532> lead him away <520>(5631) to watering <4222>(5719)?
16. And <1161> ought <1163>(5713) not <3756> this woman <5026>, being <5607>(5752) a daughter <2364> of Abraham <11>, whom <3739> Satan <4567> hath bound <1210>(5656), lo <2400>(5628), these eighteen <1176> <2532> <3638> years <2094>, be loosed <3089>(5683) from <575> this <5127> bond <1199> on the sabbath <4521> day <2250>?
17. And <2532> when he had said <3004>(5723) these things <5023>, all <3956> his <846> adversaries <480>(5740) were ashamed <2617>(5712): and <2532> all <3956> the people <3793> rejoiced <5463>(5707) for <1909> all <3956> the glorious things <1741> that were done <1096>(5740) by <5259> him <846>.
18. Then <1161> said he <3004>(5707), Unto what <5101> is <2076>(5748) the kingdom <932> of God <2316> like <3664>? and <2532> whereunto <5101> shall I resemble <3666>(5692) it <846>?
19. It is <2076>(5748) like <3664> a grain <2848> of mustard seed <4615>, which <3739> a man <444> took <2983>(5631), and cast <906>(5627) into <1519> his <1438> garden <2779>; and <2532> it grew <837>(5656), and <2532> waxed <1096>(5633) <1519> a great <3173> tree <1186>; and <2532> the fowls <4071> of the air <3772> lodged <2681>(5656) in <1722> the branches <2798> of it <846>.
20. And <2532> again <3825> he said <2036>(5627), Whereunto <5101> shall I liken <3666>(5692) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>?
21. It is <2076>(5748) like <3664> leaven <2219>, which <3739> a woman <1135> took <2983>(5631) and hid <1470>(5656) in <1519> three <5140> measures <4568> of meal <224>, till <2193> the whole <3650> was leavened <2220>(5681).
22. And <2532> he went <1279>(5711) through <2596> the cities <4172> and <2532> villages <2968>, teaching <1321>(5723), and <2532> journeying <4160>(5734) <4197> toward <1519> Jerusalem <2419>.
23. Then <1161> said <2036>(5627) one <5100> unto <4314> him <846>, Lord <2962>, are there few <1487> <3641> that be saved <4982>(5746)? And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>,
24. Strive <75>(5737) to enter in <1525>(5629) at <1223> the strait <4728> gate <4439>: for <3754> many <4183>, I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, will seek <2212>(5692) to enter in <1525>(5629), and <2532> shall <2480> <0> not <3756> be able <2480>(5692).
25. When once <575> <3739> <302> the master of the house <3617> is risen up <1453>(5686), and <2532> hath shut <608>(5661) to the door <2374>, and <2532> ye begin <756>(5672) to stand <2476>(5760) without <1854>, and <2532> to knock <2925>(5721) at the door <2374>, saying <3004>(5723), Lord <2962>, Lord <2962>, open <455>(5657) unto us <2254>; and <2532> he shall answer <611>(5679) and say <2046>(5692) unto you <5213>, I know <1492>(5758) you <5209> not <3756> whence <4159> ye are <2075>(5748):
26. Then <5119> shall ye begin <756>(5698) to say <3004>(5721), We have eaten <5315>(5627) and <2532> drunk <4095>(5627) in thy <4675> presence <1799>, and <2532> thou hast taught <1321>(5656) in <1722> our <2257> streets <4113>.
27. But <2532> he shall say <2046>(5692), I tell <3004>(5719) you <5213>, I know <1492>(5758) you <5209> not <3756> whence <4159> ye are <2075>(5748); depart <868>(5628) from <575> me <1700>, all <3956> ye workers <2040> of iniquity <93>.
28. There <1563> shall be <2071>(5704) weeping <2805> and <2532> gnashing <1030> of teeth <3599>, when <3752> ye shall see <3700>(5667) Abraham <11>, and <2532> Isaac <2464>, and <2532> Jacob <2384>, and <2532> all <3956> the prophets <4396>, in <1722> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>, and <1161> you <5209> yourselves thrust <1544>(5746) out <1854>.
29. And <2532> they shall come <2240>(5692) from <575> the east <395>, and <2532> from the west <1424>, and <2532> from <575> the north <1005>, and <2532> from the south <3558>, and <2532> shall sit down <347>(5701) in <1722> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
30. And <2532>, behold <2400>(5628), there are <1526>(5748) last <2078> which <3739> shall be <2071>(5704) first <4413>, and <2532> there are <1526>(5748) first <4413> which <3739> shall be <2071>(5704) last <2078>.
31. The same <1722> <846> day <2250> there came <4334>(5656) certain <5100> of the Pharisees <5330>, saying <3004>(5723) unto him <846>, Get thee out <1831>(5628), and <2532> depart <4198>(5737) hence <1782>: for <3754> Herod <2264> will <2309>(5719) kill <615>(5658) thee <4571>.
32. And <2532> he said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Go ye <4198>(5679), and tell <2036>(5628) that <5026> fox <258>, Behold <2400>(5628), I cast out <1544>(5719) devils <1140>, and <2532> I do <2005>(5719) cures <2392> to day <4594> and <2532> to morrow <839>, and <2532> the third <5154> day I shall be perfected <5048>(5743).
33. Nevertheless <4133> I <3165> must <1163>(5748) walk <4198>(5738) to day <4594>, and <2532> to morrow <839>, and <2532> the day following <2192>(5746): for <3754> it cannot be <3756> <1735>(5736) that a prophet <4396> perish <622>(5641) out of <1854> Jerusalem <2419>.
34. O Jerusalem <2419>, Jerusalem <2419>, which <3588> killest <615>(5723) the prophets <4396>, and <2532> stonest <3036>(5723) them that are sent <649>(5772) unto <4314> thee <848>; how often <4212> would <2309>(5656) I have gathered <1996> <0> thy <4675> children <5043> together <1996>(5658), as <5158> a hen <3733> doth gather her <1438> brood <3555> under <5259> her wings <4420>, and <2532> ye would <2309>(5656) not <3756>!
35. Behold <2400>(5628), your <5216> house <3624> is left <863>(5743) unto you <5213> desolate <2048>: and <1161> verily <281> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, <3754> Ye shall <1492> <0> not <3364> see <1492>(5632) me <3165>, until <2193> <302> the time come <2240>(5661) when <3753> ye shall say <2036>(5632), Blessed <2127>(5772) is he that cometh <2064>(5740) in <1722> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>.
1. And <2532> it came to pass <1096>(5633), as <1722> he <846> went <2064>(5629) into <1519> the house <3624> of one <5100> of the chief <758> Pharisees <5330> to eat <5315>(5629) bread <740> on the sabbath <4521> day, that <2532> they watched <2258>(5713) <3906>(5734) him <846>.
2. And <2532>, behold <2400>(5628), there was <2258>(5713) a certain <5100> man <444> before <1715> him <846> which had the dropsy <5203>.
3. And <2532> Jesus <2424> answering <611>(5679) spake <2036>(5627) unto <4314> the lawyers <3544> and <2532> Pharisees <5330>, saying <3004>(5723), Is it <1487> lawful <1832>(5748) to heal <2323>(5721) on the sabbath day <4521>?
4. And <1161> they held their peace <2270>(5656). And <2532> he took <1949>(5637) him, and healed <2390>(5662) him <846>, and <2532> let him go <630>(5656);
5. And <2532> answered <611>(5679) them <4314> <846>, saying <2036>(5627), Which <5101> of you <5216> shall have an ass <3688> or <2228> an ox <1016> fallen <1706>(5695) into <1519> a pit <5421>, and <2532> will <385> <0> not <3756> straightway <2112> pull <385> <0> him <846> out <385>(5692) on <1722> the sabbath <4521> day <2250>?
6. And <2532> they could <2480>(5656) not <3756> answer <470> <0> him <846> again <470>(5677) to <4314> these things <5023>.
7. And <1161> he put forth <3004>(5707) a parable <3850> to <4314> those which were bidden <2564>(5772), when he marked <1907>(5723) how <4459> they chose out <1586>(5710) the chief rooms <4411>; saying <3004>(5723) unto <4314> them <846>,
8. When <3752> thou art bidden <2564>(5686) of <5259> any <5100> man to <1519> a wedding <1062>, sit <2625> <0> not <3361> down <2625>(5686) in <1519> the highest room <4411>; lest <3379> a more honourable man <1784> than thou <4675> be <5600>(5753) bidden <2564>(5772) of <5259> him <846>;
9. And <2532> he that bade <2564>(5660) thee <4571> and <2532> him come <2064>(5631) and say <2046>(5692) to thee <4671>, Give <1325>(5628) this man <5129> place <5117>; and <2532> <5119> thou begin <756>(5672) with <3326> shame <152> to take <2722>(5721) the lowest <2078> room <5117>.
10. But <235> when <3752> thou art bidden <2564>(5686), go <4198>(5679) and sit down <377>(5657) in <1519> the lowest <2078> room <5117>; that <2443> when <3752> he that bade <2564>(5761) thee <4571> cometh <2064>(5632), he may say <2036>(5632) unto thee <4671>, Friend <5384>, go up <4320>(5628) higher <511>: then <5119> shalt thou <4671> have <2071>(5704) worship <1391> in the presence <1799> of them that sit at meat <4873>(5740) with thee <4671>.
11. For <3754> whosoever <3956> exalteth <5312>(5723) himself <1438> shall be abased <5013>(5701); and <2532> he that humbleth <5013>(5723) himself <1438> shall be exalted <5312>(5701).
12. Then <1161> said he <3004>(5707) also <2532> to him that bade <2564>(5761) him <846>, When <3752> thou makest <4160>(5725) a dinner <712> or <2228> a supper <1173>, call <5455>(5720) not <3361> thy <4675> friends <5384>, nor <3366> thy <4675> brethren <80>, neither <3366> thy <4675> kinsmen <4773>, nor <3366> thy rich <4145> neighbours <1069>; lest <3379> they <846> also <2532> bid <479> <0> thee <4571> again <479>(5661), and <2532> a recompence <468> be made <1096>(5638) thee <4671>.
13. But <235> when <3752> thou makest <4160>(5725) a feast <1403>, call <2564>(5720) the poor <4434>, the maimed <376>, the lame <5560>, the blind <5185>:
14. And <2532> thou shalt be <2071>(5704) blessed <3107>; for <3754> they cannot <3756> <2192>(5719) recompense <467>(5629) thee <4671>: for <1063> thou <4671> shalt be recompensed <467>(5701) at <1722> the resurrection <386> of the just <1342>.
15. And <1161> when one <5100> of them that sat at meat with him <4873>(5740) heard <191>(5660) these things <5023>, he said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Blessed <3107> is he <3739> that shall eat <5315>(5695) bread <740> in <1722> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
16. Then <1161> said he <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, A certain <5100> man <444> made <4160>(5656) a great <3173> supper <1173>, and <2532> bade <2564>(5656) many <4183>:
17. And <2532> sent <649>(5656) his <848> servant <1401> at supper <1173> time <5610> to say <2036>(5629) to them that were bidden <2564>(5772), Come <2064>(5737); for <3754> all things <3956> are <2076>(5748) now <2235> ready <2092>.
18. And <2532> they all <3956> with <575> one <3391> consent began <756>(5662) to make excuse <3868>(5738). The first <4413> said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, I have bought <59>(5656) a piece of ground <68>, and <2532> I must <2192>(5719) needs <318> go <1831>(5629) and <2532> see <1492>(5629) it <846>: I pray <2065>(5719) thee <4571> have <2192>(5720) me <3165> excused <3868>(5772).
19. And <2532> another <2087> said <2036>(5627), I have bought <59>(5656) five <4002> yoke <2201> of oxen <1016>, and <2532> I go <4198>(5736) to prove <1381>(5658) them <846>: I pray <2065>(5719) thee <4571> have <2192>(5720) me <3165> excused <3868>(5772).
20. And <2532> another <2087> said <2036>(5627), I have married <1060>(5656) a wife <1135>, and <2532> therefore <1223> <5124> I cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) come <2064>(5629).
21. So <2532> that <1565> servant <1401> came <3854>(5637), and shewed <518>(5656) his <848> lord <2962> these things <5023>. Then <5119> the master of the house <3617> being angry <3710>(5685) said <2036>(5627) to his <848> servant <1401>, Go out <1831>(5628) quickly <5030> into <1519> the streets <4113> and <2532> lanes <4505> of the city <4172>, and <2532> bring in <1521>(5628) hither <5602> the poor <4434>, and <2532> the maimed <376>, and <2532> the halt <5560>, and <2532> the blind <5185>.
22. And <2532> the servant <1401> said <2036>(5627), Lord <2962>, it is done <1096>(5754) as <5613> thou hast commanded <2004>(5656), and <2532> yet <2089> there is <2076>(5748) room <5117>.
23. And <2532> the lord <2962> said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> the servant <1401>, Go out <1831>(5628) into <1519> the highways <3598> and <2532> hedges <5418>, and <2532> compel <315>(5657) them to come in <1525>(5629), that <2443> my <3450> house <3624> may be filled <1072>(5686).
24. For <1063> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, That <3754> none <3762> of those <1565> men <435> which <3588> were bidden <2564>(5772) shall taste <1089>(5695) of my <3450> supper <1173>.
25. And <1161> there went <4848>(5711) great <4183> multitudes <3793> with him <846>: and <2532> he turned <4762>(5651), and said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> them <846>,
26. If any <1536> man come <2064>(5736) to <4314> me <3165>, and <2532> hate <3404>(5719) not <3756> his <1438> father <3962>, and <2532> mother <3384>, and <2532> wife <1135>, and <2532> children <5043>, and <2532> brethren <80>, and <2532> sisters <79>, yea <2089>, and <1161> his own <1438> life <5590> also <2532>, he cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) be <1511>(5750) my <3450> disciple <3101>.
27. And <2532> whosoever <3748> doth <941> <0> not <3756> bear <941>(5719) his <848> cross <4716>, and <2532> come <2064>(5736) after <3694> me <3450>, cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) be <1511>(5750) my <3450> disciple <3101>.
28. For <1063> which <5101> of <1537> you <5216>, intending <2309>(5723) to build <3618>(5658) a tower <4444>, sitteth <2523> <0> not <3780> down <2523>(5660) first <4412>, and counteth <5585>(5719) the cost <1160>, whether <1487> he have <2192>(5719) sufficient to <4314> finish <535> it?
29. Lest <3363> haply <3379>, after he <846> hath laid <5087>(5631) the foundation <2310>, and <2532> is <2480> <0> not <3361> able <2480>(5723) to finish <1615>(5658) it, all <3956> that behold <2334>(5723) it begin <756>(5672) to mock <1702>(5721) him <846>,
30. Saying <3004>(5723), This <3754> <3778> man <444> began <756>(5662) to build <3618>(5721), and <2532> was <2480> <0> not <3756> able <2480>(5656) to finish <1615>(5658).
31. Or <2228> what <5101> king <935>, going <4198>(5740) to make <4820>(5629) war <4171> against <1519> another <2087> king <935>, sitteth <2523> <0> not <3780> down <2523>(5660) first <4412>, and consulteth <1011>(5736) whether <1487> he be <2076>(5748) able <1415> with <1722> ten <1176> thousand <5505> to meet <528>(5658) him that cometh <2064>(5740) against <1909> him <846> with <3326> twenty <1501> thousand <5505>?
32. Or else <1490>, while the other <846> is <5607>(5752) yet <2089> a great way off <4206>, he sendeth <649>(5660) an ambassage <4242>, and desireth <2065>(5719) conditions <4314> of peace <1515>.
33. So <3779> likewise <3767>, whosoever <3956> he be of <1537> you <5216> that <3739> forsaketh <657>(5731) not <3756> all <3956> that he hath <5224>(5723) <1438>, he cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) be <1511>(5750) my <3450> disciple <3101>.
34. Salt <217> is good <2570>: but <1161> if <1437> the salt <217> have lost his savour <3471>(5686), wherewith <1722> <5101> shall it be seasoned <741>(5701)?
35. It is <2076>(5748) neither <3777> fit <2111> for <1519> the land <1093>, nor yet <3777> for <1519> the dunghill <2874>; but men cast <906>(5719) it <846> out <1854>. He that hath <2192>(5723) ears <3775> to hear <191>(5721), let him hear <191>(5720).
