The Psalms are part of the Bible; therefore, many people consider them to be Holy Scripture.
Psalm 23, also known as "The Lord is my Shepherd," contains a total of 118 words in the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. This iconic psalm is one of the most well-known and beloved passages in the Book of Psalms, expressing themes of trust, guidance, and comfort in God's care. Its concise yet powerful language has made it a source of solace and inspiration for many throughout history.
The scripture "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" can be found in Psalms 118:24 in the Bible. It is a verse that encourages gratitude and celebration for each new day that the Lord has given.
Mark's Gospel was the earliest of the New Testament gospels and in this Gospel, it is not palm leaves, but leafy branches that are spread on the road, just as the Jews used leafy branches in the celebration of the Sukkoth festival. Mark 11:8 says (NAB), "Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields." The words used at the Sukkoth are reflected in Mark 11:9: "And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord."John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says the story came from a Jewish festival actually held at an entirely different time of year:The ]ewish eight day celebration of the harvest, known as Sukkoth, and also called the Festival of the Tabernacles or Booths, was probably the most popular holiday among the Jews in the first century. In the observance of Sukkoth, worshippers processed through Jerusalem and in the Temple, waving a bunch of leafy branches made of willow, myrtle and palm. As they waved these branches in that procession, the worshippers recited words from Psalm 118, the psalm normally used at Sukkoth. Among these words were "Save us, we beseech you, O Lord." Save us in Hebrew is hosianna or 'hosanna'. This is typically followed by "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. (Psalm 118:25-6)."Mark took the Sukkoth traditions and transferred them from autumn to the Passover season for the procession story. Because the Passover season is too early for 'leafy branches' (except palms), John changed this to 'palm branches', creating our modern tradition of Palm Sunday. In the earliest account of Palm Sunday, leafy branches were used, but these were not really available at that time of year, leading to the conclusion that this story is an elaboration to demonstrate a capricious and unpredictable character in the Jerusalem people, who would shortly demand the crucifixion of Jesus.
i feel like the number 118 ha something to do with god and the belief of it. Not to stress about the bad things that are going on in your life because better things are about to come. The bad parts of your life are going to pass and better things are arriving.
According to most sources, it's 117 in the Protestant Bibles. However, others think the answer to be Psalm 118, for before this chapter there are 594 chapters and after Psalm 118 there are 594 chapters. Therefore, Psalm 118 seems to many as the middle chapter.
There are 150 Psalms in total, so after Psalm 118 there are 32 more.
Did you know:Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the entire Bible?Psalm 117, before Psalm 118 is the shortest chapter in the Bible?Psalm 119, after Psalm 118 is the longest chapter in the Bible?The Bible has 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and 594 chapters after Psalm 118?If you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get a total of 1188 chapters?1188 or Psalm 118 verse 8 is the middle verse of the entire Bible?Yes, but I use a different way, based on the number of pages. In my bible, the halfway point is Proverbs 15. Try it with your own bible.
The longest chapter of the Bible is Psalm 119. The shortest chapter of the Bible is Psalm 117. Psalm 118 is the chapter located at the center of the Bible.
That depends on how you are counting and what translation is being used. If the King James Version, then there are an even number of verses - 31,174 - so there is no technical middle verse. This would make Psalm 118:8-9 the center. Another way of counting would make Psalm 117 the center but since this is the shortest chapter in the Bible and has only 2 verses - even number - there is no single center verse.
Psalm 118 states:"24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."Psalms 118:24 (KJV)
The middle chapter is Psalm 118.
This Psalm does not have a verse 205.
Using the KJV, counting verse only, there are 31,102 verses.Since that's an even number, there can be no 'center' verse, but the center falls between:PSALM 103:1 and PSALM 103:2Another view could be argued as thus:Using the KJV, counting chapters only, Psalm 117 is the "center" chapter, consisting of only two verses. Again an even number, having no exact center verse, the center verses of the center chapter would fall between:PSALM 117:1 and PSALM 117:2It's simple math. PSALM 117 basically says "Praise the Lord"Another thought:Though there is much controversy over this, some people feel that Psalms 118:8 is exactly in the middle of the Bible, with 594 chapters before and 594 chapters after it. The scripture reads: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."(Psalm 118:8 KJV)
The Psalms are part of the Bible; therefore, many people consider them to be Holy Scripture.
