Giants in the Land

Posted on Friday, September 15, 2006Wednesday, July 24, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

We have now come to the place in the historical prologue where Moses points to the success of Israel’s cousins—Edom, Moab and Ammon—in fighting and displacing giants (2:1-23). This is given as a very kind encouragement. “Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the …

A Fourth Decade of Psalms/Psalm 35

Posted on Wednesday, September 13, 2006Monday, July 29, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Introduction: We come now to a psalm of imprecation. They do not represent the entire psalter, but they are a significant part of it. Of particular note would Psalms 7, 69, and 109. What are we to do with them? Well, among other things, sing them. Our aversion to the psalms of imprecation has more …

Failure of Faith and Nerve

Posted on Tuesday, September 12, 2006Monday, July 29, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

This portion of Deuteronomy has great importance for the writers of later portions of Scripture. The theme of this passage is a constant—as long as we must exercise faith in God in a world where His adversaries must be attacked. “And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, …

I AM and the Resurrection

Posted on Monday, September 11, 2006Wednesday, July 31, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Just a few exegetical sketches on a couple of oddities I found. This is how the incident at the burning bush is described. “And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall …

As the Stars for Multitude

Posted on Thursday, September 7, 2006Friday, August 2, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

An important part of the service of covenant renewal is the recognition of sin, and the confession of it. Moses begins by recalling for the people how they have come to this point. “These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel . . .” (Dt. 1:1-18). First, an outline fragment. As we consider …

A Fourth Decade of Psalms/Psalm 34

Posted on Wednesday, September 6, 2006Tuesday, August 6, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Introduction: This psalm is an acrostic—what the Latin Fathers called psalmi abcedarii. There are nine of these psalms total, and it is a pity that we can’t figure out a way to bring this across in translation. The Text: I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. …

The Covenantal Mind and Heart

Posted on Thursday, August 31, 2006Monday, June 17, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

We got the name Deuteronomy through a happy misnomer. The name is taken from the Greek version of the text below (17:18), where the king was to write out a “second” copy of the law for himself. But at the same time, the occasion of the book of Deuteronomy was a covenant renewal. A covenant …

A Fourth Decade of Psalms/Psalm 33

Posted on Wednesday, August 30, 2006Monday, June 17, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Introduction: God is greatly to be praised. He is worthy of all honor and praise. Our ability to praise Him falls short of necessity, and yet we are still summoned to it. Unlike the failures of sin, there is a glorious failure in praising God. Who can even begin to do it justice? The Text: …

A Fourth Decade of Psalms/Psalm 32

Posted on Wednesday, August 23, 2006Friday, June 21, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Introduction: This is categorized as one of the penitential psalms, but the heading lists it as a maskil, a teaching. In one of the other penitential pslams (51), David vows that as a result of his forgiveness, he will teach sinners the way (51:13). It is quite possible that this pslam is a fulfillment of …

Fourth Decade of Psalms/Psalm 31

Posted on Wednesday, August 16, 2006Wednesday, June 26, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Introduction: Periodically we spend ten weeks on a series of psalms, and we now come to Psalms 31-40. This psalm is notable in that Jesus quoted from it for His last words on the cross. He has been followed in this by many of His disciples, including Polycarp, Bernard, Huss, Luther, and Melancthon. The Text: …
