Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The following verse, containing the word 'rest', is from Psalm 55:6 in the NKJV: "So I said, 'Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.'" Who is credited with writing Psalm 55?

Answer: David

David is the author of Psalm 55 as well as more than seventy other Psalms found in the book. The verse is part of a passage in which David pours his heart out to God during a severe trial he was enduring.

Many people believe the Psalm is telling prophetically of the experience of Jesus Christ.

To put the verse in context, here's how Psalm 55:4-7 appears in the NKJV: "My heart is severely pained within me and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me and horror has overwhelmed me. So I said, 'Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
Indeed, I would wander far off and remain in the wilderness.'"

Answer: True

True. The Book of Psalms contains one hundred and fifty Psalms, using Bible versions such as the KJV, NKJV and NIV. As a result, it has more chapters than any other book in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible. Many of the Psalms were written by David.

John 18:18 in the NKJV states that, after the arrest of Jesus, He was taken to the high priest while "the servants and officers made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves".
