Psalms

Chapter 103

{Note: In I Samuel 22:1, we see David going to the cave of Adullam. There a group of people will come to him - 400 men and their families. David must recover from reversionism before he takes charge of the welfare of these people. This experience again will prepare him to be the great king of Israel. So, David wrote this Psalm in the cave before these people came.}

1~~{Title: A Psalm of} David.
Adore/Bless {barak - Piel stem} Jehovah/God
{this is not possible without doctrine in your soul so David adds},
O my soul . . .
and all that is within me . . .
{referring to the old doctrine recalled
and the new doctrine taught by the angel of the Lord -
see Psalm34:7}
{adore} His separated/Holy/'set-apart' {Qodesh}
Name {shem}.

2~~Adore/Bless {barak - Piel stem} Jehovah/God
{again, this is not possible without doctrine in your soul so David
adds},
O my soul . . .
and do not disregard all His benefits
{g@muwl - meaning SuperGrace benefits here}.

3-5~~ Who {God} pardons all of his wrongs
{failures done under reversionism} . . .
Who {God} heals all your
diseases/ 'kinks in your soul' {from being in reversionism} . . . 4~~
Who redeems/delivers your life from destruction
{out from the sin unto death} . . .
Who crowns you with grace {checed}
and tender mercies {racham - mercy is 'grace in action'} . . . 5~~
Who causes me to satisfy your mouth with good things
{both food for the body (bread) and figuratively doctrine
(bread of Life)}
so that your youth is provided with new clothes
{idiom: literally: 'renewed like the eagle's' - new plumage = new
clothes}.

{Note: When you are faithful to God, He has promised to provide you food and clothing. When you are spiritually mature, you are occupied with Him and happy regardless your circumstances - who then needs more? If He gives you more, that is grace! Accept it and give thanks to the Source of those blessings, but do not demand it!}

6~~Jehovah/God manufactures {'asah - out of SuperGrace} righteousness
and justices
{mishpat - plural - justice for each wrong}
for all who are being oppressed
{here by King Saul}.

7~~He made known His Ways
{doctrine - Way of righteousness} unto Moses . . .
His {God through Moses}
works/acts {`aliylah}
unto the children of Israel.

{Note: This is pretty important here. God taught doctrine to Moses. Moses became a SuperGrace believer and God produced divine good (works) through Moses - from the divine viewpoint in his soul. But, many of the Jews only saw the 'works' and confused things. They got their eyes on the 'works' instead of the source of the 'divine good production' - God and His Word. Many Jews ended up believing that you did not have to believe in God, just do 'good works' and you would be saved. This is horribly incorrect. For salvation is by FAITH, not by works, it is a gift of God, not of works . . . lest any one should boast.}

8~~Jehovah/God . . . {is} constantly filled with 'tender love'/
compassion/rapport/merciful
{rachuwm - adjective - all of these are correct in describing God's
attitude toward the SuperGrace believer}
and
{consequently pours out}
graciousness/'grace benefits' {channuwn},
forbearance/'slow to anger'
{long patient for His disobedient subjects - out of respect for a
SuperGrace pivot - example: 40 years for the Exodus Generation},
and abundant {rab} in grace {benefits} { checed}.

{Note: David is seeing a comparison between his life and that of Moses. Moses went to the desert and stood still. David went to the cave of Adullam and waited on the Lord.}

9~~He will not always reproach
{discipline for reversionism - recovery is possible}.

Neither will He retain/keep {His discipline/anger} forever.

10~~He has not dealt with us
after our failures
{David's deceit resulting in the massacre at Nob, or failure at Gad}
nor benefit us in the sphere of our iniquities
{provide SuperGrace blessings while in reversionism}.

11~~As the heaven is high above the earth {a vertical analogy},
so great is His grace toward
'the fearing ones'/'the ones respecting {His Authority}/
'The SuperGrace ones' {yare'}.

12~~As far as the east is from the west {a horizontal analogy},
so far has He removed our transgressions/'reversion failures'
from us.

13~~Like as a father 'tenderly loves'/'has compassion'/
'has understanding' {racham}
for his children,
so Jehovah/God 'tenderly loves'/'has compassion'/
'has understanding' {racham}
'the fearing ones'/'the ones respecting {His Authority}/
'The SuperGrace ones' {yare'}.

14~~For He knows {omniscience}
our 'thoughts, imaginations, and those put to action' {yetser}.
He is mindful that we are dust
{referring to our not being much in ourselves - a helpless state}.

15-16~~'Weak man' {'enowsh} . . .
his days are as grass. . .
as a flower of the field . . .
{human prosperity and success - the things humans think
important - the movie stars, celebrities, sports athletes today -
meaninglessnesses are like pretty flowers among the green grass
(common people)}
so he flourishes 6~~
{represents human accomplishment - from energy of the flesh}
for the wind {ruwach} passes over it,
and it is gone . . .
{all works of the flesh are temporary - wood, hay and stubble -
meaninglessnesses}
and the place thereof shall know it no more
{there have been many so called 'celebrities' of the past - few are
remembered past their own generation - none of these will be
remembered in eternity future}.

17~~But the grace from Jehovah/God . . .
from everlasting {eternity past}
to everlasting {eternity future}
upon 'the fearing ones'/'the ones respecting {His Authority}/
'The SuperGrace ones' {yare'},
and His/his righteousness
{imputed righteousness of God being productive in the SuperGrace
believer}
'remembered throughout human history'
{idiom: literally: 'unto children's children'}.

{Note: It is not remembering the 'SuperGrace ones' that is important at all! It is the divine good (gold, silver, and precious stones) that God produced through SuperGrace believers - from His grace - that is important. And, He knew this in eternity past and we will all know the accomplishments in eternity future.}

18~~To those who keep His covenant
{this is a Grace Contract here. You take in the Word - shama' -
listen, concentrate and obey (apply to experience)
and He will work through you and provide for you always} . . .
and to those that call to mind/remembrance His deposits
{piqquwd - deposits of His viewpoint in your soul - divine viewpoint
from doctrine}
to manufacture {them}
{'asah - manufacture divine good out of doctrine resident in the
soul}.

{There is a Greater King than David}
19~~Jehovah/God has appointed/'made ready'
His {Jesus Christ} throne in the heavens.
And His kingdom to rule
{mashal - perfect tense - completed action - a done deal}.

{Note: This is a prophecy of the everlasting rule of David's greater Son - the Lord Jesus Christ. His Son will rule forever and ever - the last great dynasty is the Davidic Dynasty.}

{David Now Addresses the Angels}
20~~Adore/Bless {barak - Piel stem} Jehovah/God,
you, his angels/messengers {mal'ak},
'who excel in strength'
{positive ones to God and His Will - SuperGrace among the
angels},
who manufacture {'asah - divine good out of doctrine in the soul}
His 'doctrine communicated categorically' {dabar},
'listen, concentrate, and obey' {shama'}
the voice of His doctrine/word {dabar}.

21~~Adore/Bless {barak - Piel stem} Jehovah/God,
{all you who are members of} His armies/
hosts {soldiers of the Lord} . . .
ministers {belonging to Him - all believers in fellowship} . . .
{who} manufacture {'asah - divine good out of doctrine in the soul}
{who} His will
{take in and apply divine viewpoint to experience
- allow God to lead your life (lead by God the Holy Spirit)
- pray to the Father to always do His will
- in all that you do . . .
live everyday as unto the Lord}.

22~~Adore/Bless {barak - Piel stem} Jehovah/God,
all His works/'divine good production' { ma`aseh}
in all places of His kingdom {everywhere on heaven and earth}
adore/bless Jehovah/God,
O my soul.
