Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 123 - 125 Psalm 123: A Prayer for Mercy / the Psalm of the eyes. Starts, "Unto thee lift I up mine eyes." Take heed / 'cause he's a lyrical poet / Psalm's on the scene / just in case you didn't know it. (That's some souped-up Vanilla Ice lyrics because I guess sometimes Hebrew rhymes.) Psalm 124: Praise for Deliverance from Enemies. Starts,...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 120 - 122 Psalm 120: A Prayer for Deliverance from Deceitfulness. Starts, "In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me." This is the first of 15 psalms categorized as Song of Ascents. We have no idea why they were written... much like the rest of the Bible. Psalm 121: The LORD Is Thy Keeper. Starts, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 119 Psalm 119: The Excellencies of God's Law. Starts, "Blessed are the undefiled in the way." This psalm is a hymn and an acrostic poem. It is the longest psalm as well as the longest chapter in the Bible. And you guys, it really is very long. Like, the longest long ever. Lots of yackety-yack about how terrific it is to follow God's cute little precept...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 116 - 118 Psalm 116: Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death. Starts, "I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice." The psalm draws heavily from other psalms, so much so that it has been referred to by some as a "patched-up psalm." This seems to be a running theme, when recalling that there's also a psalm referred to as "the borrower,"...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 113 - 115 Psalm 113: Praise for Exalting the Humble. Starts, "Praise ye the Lord, O ye servants of the Lord." This is the first of the six psalms comprising the Hallel, a Jewish prayer of praise and thanksgiving. Psalm 114: The Wonders of the Exodus. Starts, "When Israel went out of Egypt." This psalm is used as a reading at Christian burial services,...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 110 - 112 Psalm 110: The LORD Gives Dominion to the King. Starts, "The LORD said unto my Lord." Psalm 110 is the most frequently quoted or referenced psalm in the New Testament due to its weird phrasing that Christians point to as proof of the plurality of the God / Jesus. Jewish sources are a lot more chill about the whole thing and state that the subject of...
