“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

A Song of degrees. This psalm exhibits, (1.) The comprehensive duty of all, particularly married persons, verse 1. (2.) The advantage of studying it, viz., success in employments; comfort and honour in relations; joy in the prosperity of God's church, and of their own offspring, verses 2-6. While I sing, let me be ashamed, let me be pained on account of my deficiency in holiness, and of the hurt my family and the church of God have thereby sustained. Let me behold the great gain of true godliness, having the promises of this life, and of that which is to come. ~John Brown of Haddington

The tune is Hereford

Thank you.

AMEN 🙏❤️

A Song of degrees for Solomon. This psalm relates to David's orders for building the temple, I Chronicles 22, 28; or to Solomon's actual building of it, II Chronicles 2-6. It teacheth us constant dependence on God, in all our concerns; particularly in, (1.) Prospering our undertakings, or rearing our families; and in protecting our residence and country, verse 1. (2.) In enriching us without excessive care or labour, verse 2. (3.) In giving us agreeable heirs to possess our substance, verses 3-5. In all my undertakings, let me set the Lord always before me and depend on his blessing, as the source of my success. In all my enjoyments, let my care be to enjoy God himself. ~John Brown of Haddington

“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

A Song of degrees. This psalm relates to some remarkable deliverance of the Jewish church, perhaps from Babylon, as typical of those of the gospel church; and, (1.) Represents great admiration of, and thankfulness for the deliverance, verses 1-3. (2.) Contains prayers for, and encouragement to saints exercised with tribulations, verses 4-6. While I sing, let me admire the Lord's kindness to my country, to his gospel church, to mankind, to my soul. And, in my remaining distress, personal or relative, let me sow in mourning and supplication, that I may through grace reap joyful deliverances, and everlasting consolations. ~John Brown of Haddington

Does anyone know what the tune is, that this Psalm is being sung to?

“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

A Song of degrees. Let me, in this psalm, behold, (1.) The happiness of the saints; in the fixedness of their new-covenant state; the safety of their condition: the seasonableness of their deliverances; and the advantage of effectual fervent prayers in their behalf, verses 1-4. (2.) The misery of the wicked, particularly of the apostates from the ways of God, verse 5. Let me then never be of them that draw back, but of them who believe, to the fixing of their heart, and the saving of their soul. ~John Brown of Haddington

AMEN 🙏❤️

Thank you very much! Bless you.

Proverbs 3:5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. Thank you for bringing the words of Psalm 124 before us. "Therefore our help is in the Lord's great name." Amen.

“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

A Song of degrees of David. This psalm is highly applicable to every remarkable deliverance which God works for his church, especially to the great redemption wrought for his people by Christ. In it, (1.) David magnifies the danger they were in, verses 1-5. (2.) Ascribes the glory of their deliverance to God, verses 1-2, 6-7. (3.) Improves the deliverance as an encouragement to trust in God, verse 8. Let me behold Jehovah as a present help in trouble. Let my waiting eyes be towards him, who, notwithstanding all the combined power and policy of hell and earth, is able and ready to pull my feet out of the net. ~John Brown of Haddington

This tune was written by Charles Collignon who was born in 1725 . He came to Britain from France and attended Cambridge university. He eventually became Professor of anatomy. He died in 1785.

Amen. Thank you for posting these Psalms sung unto our eternal LORD, our eternal King, glorious, gracious, perfect, holy, full of loving kindnesses and the only power unto salvation bestowed us!

How can worship be any better than this? God's own word and a beautiful tune. Apparently the tune was written by a German named Jakob Hintze who lived from 1622 to 1702.

“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

A Song of degrees. This psalm relates to the distressed situation of the church, and contains, (1.) Earnest longings for, and believing expectations of merciful deliverances from God, verses 1-2. (2.) An improvement of great distress, as a plea for speedy and remarkable relief, verses 3-4. While I sing this, let me, in the full assurance of faith, cry to God, for the mercies which my own soul, my family, and the church and nation wherewith I am connected, so much need. Nor let me accept of a denial of my believing requests. ~John Brown of Haddington

Scripture sung so well brother

“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

A Song of degrees of David. This psalm appears to have been composed for the use of the Hebrews at their three solemn feasts, Leviticus 23. We have in it, (1.) Expressions of great joy in going up to Jerusalem, verses 1-2. (2.) High commendations of the beauty, order, sanctity, and honour of Jerusalem, verses 3-5. (3.) The duty and happiness of such as are really concerned for the welfare of Jerusalem, the church of God, verses 6-9. While I sing, let me remember the gospel church, bewail her disorders, supplicate for her welfare, and set my heart on the Jerusalem which is above, and into which nothing can enter that defileth or disturbs. O when shall my feet stand there! When shall I see my Jesus, on his great white throne, and sit with him in his glory. ~John Brown of Haddington

Blessed are they that undefiled, and straight are in the way; Who in the Lord's most holy law do walk, and do not stray. 2 Blessed are they who to observe his statutes are inclined; And who do seek the living God with their whole heart and mind. 3 Such in his ways do walk, and they do no iniquity. 4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts carefully. 5 O that thy statutes to observe thou would'st my ways direct! 6 Then shall I not be shamed, when I thy precepts all respect. 7 Then with integrity of heart thee will I praise and bless, When I the judgments all have learned of thy pure righteousness. 8 That I will keep thy statutes all firmly resolved have I: O do not then, most gracious God, forsake me utterly.

“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

A Song of degrees. Here, (1.) In the firm faith of being heard, David supplicates divine help and protection, verses 1-2. (2.) He comforts himself and others with the assurance of God's infallible direction and protection, verses 3-8. While I sing, let all my confidence be on the Lord. Let my soul truly wait for him, from whom cometh all my necessary and expected blessings. On him be all my burdens, all my wants, all my cares. ~John Brown of Haddington

Is there sheet music for this?

Praying for the whole of Scotland to return to the Lord Jesus Christ, wonder if they sing in Gaelic too. Beautiful, such will be in Heaven. John 3:16 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕎✝️👑🇮🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

A Song of degrees. Why this psalm and the fourteen following, are called songs of degrees, we do not certainly know. It is plain, some of them are suited to secret worship, some to the family, and others to the public assembly. This psalm, from its affinity to the 52nd, is supposed to refer to Doeg the Edomite, I Samuel 22. We have, (1.) The psalmist's prayer to God for deliverance from the ruinous influence of malicious and false accusations, verses 1-2. (2.) His denunciation of the just, fearful, and lasting judgments of God against his malicious accusers, verses 3-4. (3.) His complaints of his quarrelsome and vexatious neighbours, verses 5-7. Never dare, my soul, to utter falsehood, or even truth in a malicious manner. Never dare to rush upon the fierce and lasting indignation of the Almighty. Never choose to make this world thy country, where sin and troubles so abound. But, ye blessed abodes of peace and purity, when shall I come to you! When shall I leave my evil neighbours, and come to God, to God my exceeding joy. ~John Brown of Haddington

More than a critique of the NIV, this sermon sets forth the foundational principles for understanding the Bible version debate. Clear and concise, this sermon is a must listen for all who feel confused concerning this controversy!

“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” (II Timothy 1:13 KJV)

This psalm is a collection of David's precious thoughts, sorrowful complaints, humble petitions, and holy resolutions, which, it seems he had written down as they occurred, and which, in the end of his life, he digested into the form in which they now stand, consisting of as many parts as there are letters in the Hebrew alphabet, the eight verses of each always beginning with the same letter in the original. The general scope of it is to magnify God's word, and make it honourable. To intimate that it informs us of whatever we ought to expect from God in the way of gracious donation, and of whatever he may expect from us in the way of grateful returns of duty, it is represented under ten different characters, one or other of which is to be found in every verse, except the 122nd and 132nd: As God's Law, because framed and published by him as our Sovereign; His Commandments, because given with authority, and lodged with us as a trust; His Precepts, because peremptorily prescribed, and not left as a thing indifferent; His Statutes, because fixed and determined, and of perpetual obligation; His Word, because it is the declaration of his mind, and Christ, his essential Word, is all and in all therein; His Way, because it represents Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and is the rule of our faith and obedience; His Testimonies, because therein God, upon his word, his oath, and writ, declares to men the truths necessary to be known, in order to his honour and their salvation, as ratified in the death of his Son; His Judgments, because it is framed in infinite wisdom, and by it we must both judge and be judged (but in verses 75, 84, and 121, judgment denotes righteous conduct); His Righteousness, because it is holy, just, and good, and is the perfect standard of righteousness; And his Truth, or Faithfulness, because its leading truths are eternal, and the faithfulness of God is pledged in every point thereof. While I sing, let me all along enter into the spirit of the psalm. Let my delight be in God's testimonies; my desires after God's presence; and my endeavours to have God honoured. Let God's word be my rule, my food, my armour, my wealth, my comfort; and God himself, as therein revealed and bestowed, be my everlasting and infinite all. ~John Brown of Haddington (Tau, The 22nd Part): Here, (1.) David's prayers for access to God, and for instruction, deliverance, help, and recovery, from God, verses 169-70, 173, 175-76. (2.) Hearty professions of his regard to God's word, and to the salvation therein contained, verses 169-76. (3.) His humble confession of his wandering from God, and desire to be brought back, verse 176. ~John Brown of Haddington

I don't believe he will be the antichrist but I'm convinced that he will be the false prophet and the RC church will be fully involved
