2015DBRP_099 Deut13-14 Ps56 Acts11

Psalm 56 is another psalm from the experiences of David. This is a good psalm for us to pray when we feel that our lives are out of control and that people are against us.

Translation notes:

 

4 I will praise [You,/0] God, for what [You/he] has promised.

I trust in [You,/0] God, so why should I be afraid?

What can mere mortals do to me?

Similar changes in v. 9-11

Jewish believersb criticized him.

 

13 He told us how an angel had appeared to him in his home and had told him, ‘Send messengers to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon[, also called//0] Peter.

 

17 title-name order: Christ Jesus
