Psalm 15

Psalm 15

Verso 1

A PERGUNTA Jeová. Tu alto e santo, quem será permitido ter companionship with you? The skies are not pure in your eyes, and you yours angels with foolishness, who, then, will dwell with you in mortal spirit, Will you fear to consume fire? A sense of the glory of the Lord and of holiness that becomes your home, your service, and your assistants, excites the humble mind to to ask the solemn question before us. Where the angels bow with faces veiled, how can man worship? The thoughtless imagine that it is very easy to approach the Most High and, when explicitly engaged in His adoration, they have no questioning of the heart regarding your aptitude for this; but truly humbled souls often shrink under a sense of total indignity, and would not dare to approach from the throne of the God of holiness, if it weren't for Him, our Lord, our Lawyer, who can dwell in the celestial temple, because of his justice remains forever. "Who will dwell in your tabernacle?" Who will it be? admitted as being of the house of God, to stay under its roof and enjoy the communion with himself? "Who will dwell on your holy mountain?" Who will it be? a citizen of Zion and a resident of the heavenly Jerusalem? The question is raised, because it is a question. Not all men have this privilege, or rather, even among the teachers there are foreigners from the community who não têm relações secretas com Deus. Com base na lei, nenhum homem pode to dwell with God, for there is no one on earth who answers the righteous requirements mentioned in the following verses. The questions of the text are made to the Lord. as if no one, except the Infinite Mind, could respond to them in a way that satisfies the restless conscience. We must to know from the Lord of the tabernacle what the qualifications for his service are, and when we have been taught about it, we will see clearly that only our immaculate Lord Jesus, and those who conform to him images may remain with acceptance before the Majesty on high.

The impertinent curiosity often wants to know who and how many will be saved; if those who ask the question: "Who will dwell in your "Holy mountain?" Would this turn into an investigative research referencing them? same, they would act with much more wisdom. The members of the church visible, which is the tabernacle of the worship of God, and the hill of eminence, they must diligently take care that they have the preparation of the heart what is suitable for them to be prisoners of the house of God. Without the attire of marriage of justice in Christ Jesus, we do not have the right to sit in the communion banquet. Without the straightness of the walk, we are not fit to the imperfect church on earth, and we certainly should not expect to enter the church perfect above.

Verse 2

THE ANSWER. The Lord in response to the question informs us through your Holy Spirit of the character of man who alone can dwell in his holy mountain. In perfection, this holiness is found only in Man. the Dores, but to some extent it is carried out in all its people by the Spirit Saint. The faith and the graces of the Spirit are not mentioned, because this is a description of the exterior character, and where the fruits are found, the root is not can be seen, but it is certainly there. Observe the walk, the work and the word of the accepted man. "He who walks in righteousness," he stands upright. like those who cross high ropes; if they lean to one side for the other, they must go, or like those who carry precious goods, more fragile, in baskets on their heads, who lose everything if they lose the perpendicular. True believers do not shrink like sycophants, if they wriggle like snakes, bending like farmers of the land, or tricksters on one side like those who have sinister objectives; they have the spine strong dorsal of the vital principle of inner grace, and being themselves straight, they are capable of walking in a straight line. Walking is much more important than Speak. He is only right, who is just in walking and frankly in honesty.

And works justice. dead. The house of God is a hive for workers, not a nest for the drones. Those who are happy that everything is done by them, even Even Lord Jesus, and therefore, they hate legality, are the best. world leaders about the principles of the gospel. If we are not positively serving the Lord and doing His holy will with the best From our power, we will be able to seriously debate our interest in things. divine, for the trees that do not bear fruit must be cut down and thrown into the fire. "And speaks the truth in his heart." The fool in the last psalm spoke. falsely in his heart; observe here and elsewhere in both Psalms, the impressive contrast. The saints not only wish to love and speak the truth with their lips, but seek to be true within themselves; they will not lie even in the closet of their hearts, for God is there to listen; they disregard double meanings, evasions, misunderstandings, white lies, flattery, and deception. Although the truths, like roses, they have thorns on them, good men wear them on their breasts. Our the heart must be the sanctuary and refuge of truth, it must be banished from all world next door and hunted among men; In every risk we must have the angel of truth, for truth is the daughter of God. We must be careful so that the heart may be truly fixed and established in principle, by tenderness of awareness regarding truthfulness, like a peach blossom, needs a delicate treatment and, once lost, it was difficult to recover. Jesus was the mirror of sincerity and holiness. Oh, to be more and more old-fashioned after their similarity! like roses, they have thorns on them, good men they use on their breasts. Our heart must be the sanctuary and refuge of truth, should be banned from all over the world alongside and hunted down among the men; In every risk we must have the angel of truth, for truth is the daughter of God. We must be careful that the heart is truly fixed and established in principle, by tenderness of conscience in relation to the truthfulness, like the blossom of a peach, needs delicate handling and, once lost, it was difficult to regain. Jesus was the mirror of sincerity and of holiness. Oh, to be more and more old-fashioned after his similarity! Like roses, they have thorns on them, good men use them in your breasts. Our heart must be the sanctuary and refuge of truth, it must be banned from the whole world by my side and hunted among men; In every risk we must have the angel of truth, for truth is the daughter of God. We must have care so that the heart is truly fixed and established in principle, for tenderness of conscience in relation to truthfulness, like the flower of a peach, needing delicate treatment and, once lost, was difficult. recover him. Jesus was the mirror of sincerity and holiness. Oh, to be more and more outdated after its similarity! because the truth is the daughter of God. We must take care that the heart is truly steadfast and established in principle, by tenderness of conscience in relation to the truth, like the flower of a peach, needs delicate treatment and, once lost, it was hard to regain it. Jesus was the mirror of sincerity and of holiness. Oh, to be more and more outdated after your likeness! because the truth is the daughter of God. We must be careful that the the heart should be truly fixed and established in principle, out of tenderness for awareness regarding truthfulness, like the flower of a peach, need to a delicate treatment and, once lost, it was difficult to regain it. Jesus was the mirror of sincerity and holiness. Oh, to be more and more old-fashioned. after your similarity!

Verse 3

After the positive comes the negative. "He who backbites does not with the his language." There is a sinful way to mumble the heart when wrong we think of a neighbor, but it is the tongue that does harm. The tongues of some men bite more than teeth. The tongue is not made of steel, but it cuts, and its wounds are very difficult to heal; your worst wounds are not with the tip in our face, but with the back when the head is turned. Under the law, a the night falcon was an impure bird, and its human image is abominable everywhere. All the slanderers are the devil's bellows to explode the contenders, but these are the worst who blow at the back of the fire. "Do not harm your neighbor." He who restrains his tongue will not give permission. for your hand. Loving your neighbor as ourselves will leave us with envy from your good name, being careful not to harm your property, or by a bad example to corrupt your character. "Not even taking a reprimand against your neighbor." He is a fool if not a rogue who takes stolen goods and shelters them; in slander and theft, the receiver is as bad as the thief. If there were no satisfied listeners of negative reports, there would be the end of trade of disseminate them. Trapp says that "the bearer of the tale carries the demon in his language, and the listener-story carries the devil in his ear". The original can be "endureth"; implying that it is a sin to bear or tolerate carriers of stories. 'Show this man out!' we must say of one drunk, however, it is very questionable whether his behavior is notmale will harm us as much as the insinuating history of the carriers of stories. "Call a police officer!" We say if we see a thief in your business; we should not feel outrage when we hear a gossip about you work? Crazy Dog! Crazy Dog!! is a terrible hue and lament, but there are few curses whose bite is as dangerous as the tongue of a intrusive. Fire! fire!! it's an alarming note, but the language of the bearer of the tale is set ablaze by hell, and those who surrender must do better. fix your ways, or they might think there is fire in hell for tongues unbridled. Our Lord did not speak ill of anyone, but prayed for their enemies; we must be like him, or we will never be with him. not Should we feel indignation when we hear a rumor at work?

Crazy Dog! Crazy Dog!! it's a terrible hue and sorrow, but there is few curses whose bite is as dangerous as the tongue of a intrusive. Fire! fire!! it is an alarming note, but the tongue of the bearer of the the story is set ablaze by hell, and those who surrender must do better. fix your ways, or they may think there is fire in hell for tongues unrestrained. Our Lord did not speak ill of anyone, but prayed for his enemies; we must be like him, or we will never be with him. no Should we feel indignation when we hear gossip at work?

Crazy Dog! Crazy Dog!! is a terrible shade and sorrow, but there is few curses whose bite is as dangerous as the tongue of a meddlesome. Fire! Fire!! It is an alarming note, but the tongue of the bearer of the story is set ablaze by hell, and those who surrender must do better. fix your manners, or they might think there is fire in hell for tongues unrestrained. Our Lord did not speak ill of anyone, but prayed for his enemies; we must be like him, or we will never be with him. or them they may think that there is fire in hell for unrestrained tongues. Our Lord didn't speak ill of anyone, but prayed for his enemies; we should be like him, or we will never be with him. or they may think there is fire in Inferno for unleashed tongues. Our Lord did not speak ill of anyone, but prayed for his enemies; we must be like him, or we will never be with him.

In whose eyes a despicable person is despicable, but he honor those who fear the Lord." We must be so honest in paying the Respect in the payment of our bills. Honor to whom honor is due. debts. A debt of honor, and we do not have the right to deliver what is due to vile people in high positions When the base men they are in the office, it is our duty to respect the position, but we cannot violate our consciousnesses to the point of not despising men and, on the other hand, when true saints are in poverty and affliction, we must sympathize with your afflictions and honor men, at the very least. We can honor the most rough cabinet because of sin. jewels, but we should not award false ones jewels due to their setting. A sinner in a gold chain and silk garments should no longer be compared to a saint in rags of like with the light of a silver chandelier with the sun behind a cloud.

The proverb says that 'ugly women, dressed finely, are the ugliest.' for this reason, and thus the average men in power are the worst because of that. "He who swears by his own evil and does not change". The saints scriptural under the rule of the New Testament "do not swear anything," but their the word is as good as an oath: those men of God who think They swear carefully and pray not to seem to exceed the target.

When commitments were introduced into what becomes useless, "the saints are men of honor still." Our blessing Guarantor vowed to himself to wound, but how gloriously he remained in his surety! what comfort for he who does not change, and as an example for us to be scrupulous and exactly precise in fulfilling our agreements with others! The operator more prudent can enter into commitments that turn out to be serious losses, but anything else he loses, if he maintains his honor, your losses will be bearable; if this is lost, everything is lost.

Verse 5

"He who does not put his money to usury". Usury was and is hateful both to God and to man. That a creditor must sharing with the borrower in gains made by their money is more adequate and adequate; but that the man of property devours the poor poor thing who unfortunately took a loan from him is abominable. Those that torment poor traders, needy widows, and things like that, charging interest at intolerable rates, they will discover that their gold and silver are prejudiced. The man who ascends the hill of the Lord must shake this sin when Paul shook the viper into the fire. "Nor does he receive a reward against the innocents." Bribery is a sin both for the giver and for the receiver. receptor. It was frequently practiced in the courts of justice in the east; this form is now, under our excellent judges, almost a novel thing; but the sin survives in various forms, which the reader does not need to mention; and under All forms are repugnant to the true man of God. He remembers that Jesus, instead of receiving a reward against the innocents, died for the guilty.

Verso 5

"Aquele que faz estas coisas nunca será movido." Nenhuma storm will tear it from its foundations, will drag it from its anchorage or the will be uprooted from its place. Like the Lord Jesus, whose dominion is eternal, the a true Christian will never lose his crown. He will not only be in Zion, but like Zion, fixed and firm. He will dwell in the tabernacle of the Most High, and neither neither death nor judgment will take him from his place of privilege and welladventure.

Let's dedicate ourselves to prayer and self-examination, for this Psalm is like fire. for gold and like a furnace for silver. We can withstand its power of test?
