2 | psalms 81 | Ps 81:1 | bible believer | 200386 | ||
Hi Sandra: This is a truly beautiful and meaningful psalm that you've picked to study! I've recently done a little study on this Psalm and would love to share what I've learned with you. The Jews had three big harvest times: 1)April, when they picked barley (to make bread) 2)May, when they picked wheat (also to make bread) 3)October, when they picked grapes (to make wine). Psalm 81 is a Festival Psalm. The festival being celebrated in this Psalm was at the time of the grape harvest.(see #3, above) They called it "the festival of tents". Tents were houses made of animal skins. At the festival of tents the Jews lived for a week in tents. This taught them how they lived when God took them out of Egypt, hundreds of years before. Psalm 81 taught the Jews that, now that God had brought them into their own land, they should have no other gods. He would give them help against their enemies, as he did in Egypt, when they turned to Him for help. You can study the psalm in three parts: 1) Verses 1 - 4 Time for the Festival 2)Verses 5 - 7 What God did for the Jews in Egypt 3)Verses 8 - 16 Trouble that will befall the Jews should they worship other gods beside the one true God. Hope this info helps. |
