Psalm 37:37

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    Ps 37:37 – “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace.” (Lesson citation #2)

    “Mark” – (Hebrew) shamar – “to guard, keep, preserve, protect, watch, hedge around something”
    “Perfect” – (Hebrew) tam – “complete, whole, upright in moral sense, having integrity, sound, undefiled.”
    “Behold” – (Hebrew) ra’ ah – “to see with the mind, perceive, understand, be fully aware of, to have added vision.”
    “Upright” – (Hebrew) Yashar – “that which is pleasing to God, that which is right in his eyes, having integrity, uprightness, does what ought to be done.”
    “Peace” – (Hebrew) shalom – “completeness, soundness, a sense of well-being, even health.”

    Using the original meanings of the main words, Ps 37:37 can thus become: “Watch, guard, preserve the complete, whole, undefiled man. See this fact about man with the mind. Become fully aware of doing that which is pleasing to God, for the end of that man is health and a sense of well-being.”
