About the book:

The Book of Psalms Part 1 Chapters 1-30 by Deborah H. Bateman is part of the Daily Bible Reading Series. The book of Psalms contains 150 chapters. Deborah divided The Book of Psalms into five books to make it easier to read and study. Each book will contain approximately thirty chapters from the book of Psalms.

Psalm 119 has already published a book about it called: Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet. The book of Psalms is one of Deborah’s favorite books of the Bible. It is a great book to read if you’re ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from the enemies.

The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.

The Book of Psalms Part 1 Chapters 1-30 contains thirty-one Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. It is a great Bible study for individuals or groups.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. – Proverbs 19:16

Daily Bible Reading “Keep the Commandments” (Proverbs 19:16-22)

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Deborah H. Bateman

Keep the Commandments

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 19:16-22. In this Scripture, we are reminded that those who keep the commandments keep their own soul; but those who despise their ways will die.

Those who have pity on the poor lend to the LORD; and that which they have given He will repay them.

Chasten your child while there is hope, and don’t let your soul spare for their crying. It is important that we discipline our children while they are young. We can’t wait until they are grown to try to teach them right from wrong.

A person of great wrath will suffer punishment: if you deliver them, you must do it again.

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days. Counsel and instruction are important to our overall development.

There are many devices in a person’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD will stand.

The desire of a person is their kindness: and it is better to be a poor person than a liar.

Daily Bible Reading:

Proverbs 19:16-22

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

Things to think about:

What does this Scripture say about those who keep the commandments?
How does the LORD feel about us giving to the poor?
Why is it important for us to correct our children while they are young?
Why is it important to receive counsel and instruction?
Though there are many things in our hearts, what is the one thing that will stand?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read and study this Scripture in the book of Proverbs we are reminded that those who keep the commandments keep their own soul. Help us to study Your Word and learn Your ways so that we may live according to Your will. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. – Proverbs 19:8

Daily Bible Reading “Get Wisdom” (Proverbs 19:8-15)

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Deborah H. Bateman

Get Wisdom

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 19:8-15. In this Scripture, we are reminded that those who get wisdom love their own soul: those who cherish understanding will prosper.

A false witness will not go without punishment, and those who tell lies will perish. The truth will eventually come to light.

Gladness is not fitting for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

It is by choice that a person defers their anger; and it is their glory to overlook an indiscretion.

The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion; but his favor is like dew drops spread on the grass.

A foolish child is the misfortune of their father: and the conflicts of a wife are constantly plummeting.

Houses and riches are the heritage of fathers: and a wise wife is from the LORD.

Laziness will cast you into a deep slumber; and an idle soul will go hungry.

Wisdom and understanding are not something that everybody has. It is something we have to seek after. One of the ways we can gain insight and wisdom is through studying God’s Word.

We should always be in a state of learning as we seek to gain wisdom and knowledge. Life is a constant process of learning, both from our own experiences and from persistently reading and studying.

We can’t expect wisdom to come knocking on our door. We have to pursue wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

Daily Bible Reading:

Proverbs 19:8-15

8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Things to think about:

What does this Scripture say about those who get wisdom?
What do we learn about a false witness in this Scripture?
In what ways do you pursue wisdom?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read this Scripture in the book of Proverbs we are reminded those who get wisdom love their own soul. Help us to seek Your wisdom as we study Your Word and learn Your ways. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. – Proverbs 19:1

Daily Bible Reading “Walk in Integrity” (Proverbs 19:1-7)

Posted on October 8, 2017 by Deborah H. Bateman

Walk in Integrity

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 19:1-7. In this Scripture, we are reminded that better is the poor who walk in integrity, than one who is perverse in their lips, and is a fool.

Also, that the soul without knowledge is not good; and those who are hasty with their feet sin.

The foolishness of a person corrupts their way: and their heart frets against the LORD.

Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor. Have you ever noticed how wealthy people seem to have many friends, but poor people have very few friends?

A false witness will not go unpunished, and those who speak lies will not escape. Lying will catch up with you. Even if you don’t get caught immediately, the truth will eventually come out and you will be caught in a lie.

Many will plead for the favor of a prince: and every person is a friend to those who give gifts.

All the brethren of the poor hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? He pursues them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

Daily Bible Reading:

Proverbs 19:1-7

1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

Things to think about:

What do you think it means to walk in integrity?
What does this Scripture say about a person who tells lies?
How do the wealthy and the poor compare concerning friends?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read this Scripture we are reminded that it is better to be poor and walk in integrity. Help us to walk in integrity in our lives and our businesses. Help us to be fair and honest to all people. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. – Proverbs 18:19

Daily Bible Reading “A Brother Offended” (Proverbs 18:19-24)

Posted on October 5, 2017 by Deborah H. Bateman

A Brother Offended

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 18:19-24. We are reminded in this Scripture that a brother who has been offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

When we’ve been hurt sometimes it’s hard for us to forgive and forget. Jesus died on the cross for our forgiveness, yet we find it difficult sometimes to forgive others. We need to ask God to help us to be more forgiving.

A person’s belly is satisfied with the fruit of their mouth; and with the increase of their lips they will be filled.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and those who love it will eat the fruit thereof. We can either speak life into people or we can speak death with our mouth. Lord, help us to speak life.

Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD. Having a good husband/wife relationship is one of the most rewarding relationships you will have in this life besides your relationship with God and Jesus Christ. I remember my husband quoting this Scripture to me before we got married. I hope he still feels this way after over forty years of marriage.

The poor uses appeals; but a rich person answers roughly.

A person who has friends must show themselves to be friendly: and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

In order for us to have friends we have to show ourselves to be friendly. We have to make sacrifices for the other person. We have to spend time with people if we are going to be friends with them. Building relationships takes time. It is not something that just happens instantly.

Jesus is the friend who sticks closer than a brother. If you need a true friend, He is the one. He loves you unconditionally.

Daily Bible Reading:

Proverbs 18:19-24

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Things to think about:

What does this Scripture say about a brother who has been offended?

What does this Scripture say about the tongue?
What does this Scripture say about a man who finds a wife?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we read this Scripture in the book of Proverbs we are reminded that a brother who is offended is harder to win than a city. Help us to strive to get along with one another and not offend each other. We are also reminded that Jesus is a friend that is closer than a brother. Thank You for making a way for us to have a relationship with the both of You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
