The primary doctrine of the trials is Jacob’s Trouble (Jer. 30:7; Matt. 24:21). A doctrinal key word for the Tribulation or the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is the word SELAH (2 Kings 14:7; Ps. 3:2; 7:5; 9:16-20; 32:4-7; 46:3-11; 47:4; 48:8; Hab. 3:3-13). There are entire psalms about the Great Tribulation (Ps. 79), the Antichrist (Ps. 10, 52, 73, 109), the workers of iniquity (Ps. 14,53), God’s protection through the Tribulation (Psalm 23), and the millennial reign of the Lord Jesus (Ps. 76, 95-100). The longest Psalm with 176 verses focuses upon the written words of God (Ps. 119).

There are several musical terms used in the Psalms:

  1. NEGINOTH (Psalms 4 and 6)

Refers to the music of stringed instruments

  1. SHEMINITH (Psalms 6 and 12)

Conveys the idea of the musical octave

  1. SHIGGAION (Psalm 7)

Suggests a wild, exuberant praise

  1. GITTITH (Psalms 8 and 81)

Means wine presses and gives reference to vintage hymns.

  1. MASCHIL (Psalm 32 and 42)

Means instruction or teaching

  1. JEDUTHUN (Psalm 39)

This is the name of the chief singer among the Levites.

His name means “praising.”

  1. SELAH Occurs 70 times in the Psalms.

Means to pause and meditate how this passage will be fulfilled in the Millennium.

Selah warns of Jacob’s Trouble, but the historical context is 2 Samuel 15-16.

Selah Petra will be the hiding place for the Jews during the Tribulation (Isaiah 16:1-4; Matthew 24:15-26; Revelation 12:6, 14).

Ps. 22 – The Crucifixion Psalm

Ps. 23 – The Shepherd’s Psalm

Ps. 24 – The Glorious King of the Millennium
