Are You Familiar With Psalms? Trivia Quiz

Answer: dwell

The quote comes from Psalm 27:4.
In spite of the peaks and valleys in King David's life, one constant was his desire for the presence of God. In Psalm 122:1 he states, "I was glad when they said unto me Let us go into the house of the LORD." When David's son whom he had with Bathsheba died, he also went to the temple to worship. This can be found in 2 Samuel 12:17-20.

Answer: saved

The quote comes from Psalm 18:3.
The book of Psalms was used by the Jews in worship in Old Testament times. Some sources refer to Psalms as the Jewish hymn book. Even today, many worship songs in Judaism and Christianity come from Psalms, this verse being an example.

Answer: wait

The quote comes from Psalm 27:14.
Waiting can be a hard thing but it teaches humility and patience and can grant renewed strength. Later in the Bible, this is brought more clearly into focus in Isaiah 40:31 which reads "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength..."

Answer: joy

The quote comes from Psalm 30:5.
This verse could be cross-referenced with Psalm 126:5 which reads "Those that sow in tears shall reap in joy." The bottom line is, trouble doesn't last forever. As commentator Albert Barnes puts it "Weeping is like a stranger who lodges for a night only... sorrow will soon pass away to be succeeded by joy."

Answer: bless

This is Psalm 34:1.
Here David resolves to bless the LORD regardless of his circumstances. This is consistent with Paul's instruction in 1Thessalonians 5:18, "In every thing give thanks..."

Answer: righteous

Psalm 34:19 gives us this quotation.
According to this verse, the godly will have many trials but their God will always deliver them. A similar scripture is found in 2 Timothy 3:11-12 where Paul states "Persecutions, afflictions which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

Answer: clean

This is from Psalm 51:10.
This was a Psalm by King David after the prophet Nathan talked with him concerning his sin with Bathsheba. David humbly confessed his sins and prayed for mercy. "A broken and contrite heart, God will not despise." (verse 17b).

Answer: benefits

The line is Psalm 103:2.
This psalm continues to read as follows:
"Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
Who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's."
Another scripture which encourages readers to remember what the Lord has done for them is Deuteronomy 6:12, "...beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage."

Answer: help

This is from Psalm 121:1-2.
This psalmist knows where to get help when needed.
In 2 Chronicles, King Jehoshaphat received word that a great army was coming up against him. Chapter 20:12 reveals a part of King Jehoshaphat's prayer "O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee." Needless to say, God responded and gave Jehoshaphat the victory.
Isn't it comforting to know where to get help when needed?

Answer: begging

This is Psalm 37:25.
This psalm of David is about God's ability to not only provide for the righteous, but for their children as well. It also gives the assurance that God does not forsake his children.
Another scripture about God's provision is Philippians 4:19, which reads "But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Proverbs 10:3 reads "The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish..." Lastly, Hebrews 13:5b states "be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
