As such, He has no need for sacrificial offerings. While a sacrifice indeed brings honor to God, if the proper attitude of remorse and repentance are lacking, the offering becomes meaningless. The author concludes by declaring that God will show his salvation to the people who improves his ways.<\/p>\n<p>This psalm consists of twenty-three verses, subdivided into four parts.<br \/>\nThe first verse serves as a heading.<br \/>\nIn verses 2-7, the psalmist describes, with beautiful imagery, the revelation of the Divine Presence.<br \/>\nIn verses 8-15, God Himself offers words of rebuke relating to the sincerity of sacrifices.<br \/>\nIn verses 16-21, God directs his rebuke toward the wicked who associate with robbers and adulterers.<br \/>\nIn verses 22 &amp; 23, Asaf concludes by declaring that God desires the sacrifices offered with a pure heart and with the proper intentions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shimush Tehillim&#8211;When to Say:<\/em><br \/>\nTo be saved from enemies and bandits&#8211;Verse 15 &amp; 16 state: \u201cAnd call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will free you, and you will honor Me. But to the wicked, God said, \u201cWhat does it avail you to recount my statutes, while you bear My covenant [only] upon your mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Talmud on Tehillim:<\/em><br \/>\nVerse 16: \u201cBut to the wicked, God said.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Talmud, Sukkah 55a, teaches that this verse was sung in the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple) on the second day of <em>Chol HaMo\u2019eid<\/em> Sukkot (Intermediate Days of Sukkot), just prior to the opening of the <em>Simchat Beit HaSho\u2019eivah,<\/em> a celebration of the drawing in of water to Jerusaelm. As Jerusalem is located in a mountainous area, water was drawn in annually on the Festival of Sukkot. This verse admonished all present to rid themselves of any ill feelings, and to be happy and thankful to God on this joyous occasion. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excerpted from <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Your Lips To God\u2019s Ears<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by Reuben Ebrahimoff available on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":79908,"id":79908,"title":"psalms -
