Psalms

Chapter 119 (Continued)

131~~I opened my mouth, and panted . . .
for I longed/'had a deep desire'
for "Your direction for my life"/ "Your Commandments".

{Note: Analogy to the positive volition to taking in doctrine compared with the need to take in air by opening the mouth.}

132~~"Turn me on'/'Give me continued love for bible doctrine'
  {idiom: literally 'Look You upon me'},
and be gracious/merciful unto me . . .
as is right/fair toward those who love Your name.

133a~~'Give me the strength to get up and walk today'
  {idiom: 'Stabilize my steps'}
 in Your Word/'Doctrinal Communication' {dabar}'.

{Note: The beating the night before must have been horrible. He is asking God to allow him to continue the march to Babylon or he will die. He must live to teach the other prisoners.}

133b~~And let not any iniquity/'old sin nature'
have rule/dominion over me.

{Note: He is ready to have his mental attitude sins take over and he is fighting the impulse.}

134~~Deliver me from the oppression of man . . .
so I will keep/guard "Your doctrine presented categorically"/
"Your precepts".

135a~~'Transfer the blessings of grace in eternity past to time'
  {idiom: literally 'Make Your face to shine'}
 upon Your servant.

135b~~And teach me "Your doctrine in categories"/ "Your Statutes".

136~~Rivers of tears run down my eyes . . .
for up to now they do not keep/guard Your law
  {but the implication is he sees this is changing}.

{Note: He is crying because the solution is so near. He is crying from happiness that the people are near to becoming mature from his bible teaching and the nation will survive.}

{Verses 137-144: Cadhe/Tzaddi File - Reaping Hook/Sickle- God's Justice based on His Righteousness }
137~~Righteousness . . . You, O Jehovah/God.

Upright . . . Your judgments.

138~~Your Testimonies
that You have commanded
are righteous and very faithful.

{Note: Righteousness includes righteousness and justice - the Holiness of God. God's faithfulness is in addition to His Holiness. God never fails. His faithfulness is recorded in Bible doctrine and is a reflection of His perfect Character.}

{Writer's Response to Previous Verse}
139~~My fervor has 'saturated me to the point of moving'.

My enemies have forgotten
Your Word's/'Doctrinal Communication's {dabar}.

{Note: Doctrine gave him the ability to get moving after his beating the night before. 'Fervor' here is more than a human energy - and it comes from the inside. His enemies, the Chaldean guards, put on a big drunk and are dragging today and they have nothing extra to carry them.}

140~~Your Word/'Doctrinal Communication' {dabar}' . . .
is being a purifier/refiner.

Therefore, Your servant loves it.

{Note: Doctrine is changing him into the best person in his generation - as will his son Ezra also be.}

{Humility}
141~~I am young and 'the object of contempt'/
despised/hopeless/helpless . . .
yet do not I forget

"Your doctrine presented categorically"/ "Your precepts".

142~~Your Righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
and Your law is the Truth.

143~~Trouble and anguish have seized me . . .
yet "Your direction for my life"/ "Your Commandments"
are my 'the love of my life'
  {sha`shua` - strong Hebrew word for 'making love'}.

144~~The righteousness of "Your doctrinal techniques"/
"Your Testimonies" is everlasting.

Cause me to understand
and I shall be refreshed.

{Verses 145-152: Qoph/Koph File - Depicts the Subconscious - Here in trouble}
145~~Qoph.
I cried/'shouted out for help'
with my whole heart/'right lobe',
  {means he has run out of screams - he can not express himself
  verbally he is now at his lowest point - his subconscious is being
  attacked also now}
"Hear me, O Jehovah/God . . .
I will keep/guard "Your doctrine in categories"/ "Your Statutes". "

146~~I cried unto You,
  {he did this for the entire duration of the march - probably now 19
  days in}
"Cause me to be delivered
and I shall keep/guard "Your doctrinal techniques"/
"Your Testimonies"."

147~~I 'rose early in anticipation of the dawning of the morning'
and I cried,
"I 'trusted under maximum pressure' {yachal} in Your Word/Doctrine.
  {his anticipation was because he had wonderful doctrine to
  communicate}

148~~My eyes anticipated the night watches,
for the purpose that
I might 'talk to myself'/meditate
in Your Word/Doctrine.
  {he was hoping for some quiet time last night and then a good
  night's sleep, but he did not get it}

149~~Hear my voice
according unto Your graciousness/loving-kindness
O Jehovah/God.

Refresh/quicken me according to Your justice/judgment.

{Zimmah pressures}
150a~~They are advancing to attack/'drawing near' . . .
those who pursue after 'perverted sexual activity' {zimmah}.

150b~~They are "far from Your law'.

{Note: Here it is clear the Chaldean guards are coming once more to homosexually attack him. And, yes that is far from the law of God.}

151a~~You are near, O Jehovah/God.

151b~~And all "Your direction for my life"/"Your Commandments"
are Truth.

152~~Concerning "Your doctrinal techniques"/"Your Testimonies",
I have known of old
that You have founded them forever.

{Verses 153-160: Res/Resh File (Represents the thinking of the Frontal Lobe - the Real You)}
153~~Res/Resh.
'Observe what is going on'/`Consider my affliction' . . .
and deliver me
  {Piel imperative - remove the pressure from the horrible situation}
for I do not forget Your Law/doctrine.

154~~Defend my cause and deliver me.

Refresh/quicken me
according to the standard of Your Word/Doctrine.

155~~Deliverance/Salvation is far from the wicked . . .
for they {unbelievers with strong negative volition in view}
seek not "Your doctrine in categories"/ "Your Statutes".
  {perfect tense of completed action - the Chaldeans are not going
  to change}

{Note: Because of their strong negative volition to God, the Chaldean empire will be utterly destroyed in the next few years.}

156~~Great . . . {are} Your 'expressions of grace'/
'tender mercies', O Jehovah/God.

Refresh/quicken me according to Your justice/judgments.

157~~Many are my persecutors and my enemies . . .
  {the Chaldeans and negative volition reversionists among the
  prisoners}
yet do I not decline from "Your doctrinal techniques"/
"Your Testimonies".

158~~I beheld the transgressors,
  {here those guilty of rape and violence}
and was nauseated/'sick to my stomach' . . .
because they kept not Your Word/'Doctrinal Communication' {dabar}'.

159~~Consider how I love
"Your doctrine presented categorically"/ "Your precepts".

Refresh/quicken me, O Jehovah/God,
according to Your 'acts of grace'/loving-kindness.

160~~The sum/essence of Your Word/Doctrine
is doctrine/true.

And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

{Verses 161- 168: Sin/Schin File - A tooth - Constant intake of the Word}
161a~~Sin.
Princes have persecuted me without a cause.

{Note: Apparently the Chaldean nobility was on the death march. The Lord had destined that the Chaldeans would take the Jews out under the 5th cycle. But the abuse of their power was from their own free will. The Chaldeans will be destroyed because their leaders and their nation abused the Jews - God's punishment is sufficient, He does not need their 'additional help' to discipline the Jews.}

161b~~But my heart/'right lobe'
stands in awe of Your Word/'Doctrinal Communication' {dabar}'.
  {means his soul is occupied with the intake and application of
  Doctrine}

162~~I rejoice at Your Word/'Doctrinal Communication' {dabar}' . . .
as one who finds great spoil.
  {means as one who finds a new present every day}

163~~I hate and abhor lying.

But Your law do I love.

164~~Seven times a day do I praise you
because of Your righteous judgments.

{Note: Seven is the number of perfection. It is an idiom hear meaning constantly all day long his thoughts are occupied with God and His Word. Seven is not literal.}

165~~Great peace have those who love Your law . . .
and 'there is not a stumbling-block to them/
'nothing shall offend them'.

{Note: Great peace is inner happiness and stability based on doctrine that result in having a relaxed mental attitude that come from the intake and application of God's Word to experience. The mental attitude sins of others that are spewed in their direction are not taken to heart. People's compliments are also not taken to heart so approbation lust is also rejected. It is only the comparison of yourself to God that matters - and compared to Him you are nothing and He is everything! So be humble!}

166~~Jehovah/God,
I have 'trusted under maximum pressure' {yachal}
for Your deliverance,
and done "Your direction for my life"/ "Your Commandments".
  {perfect tense - completed action - it is fixed that he will continue
  to do this all his life}

167~~My soul has guarded/kept
"Your doctrinal techniques"/ "Your Testimonies" . . .
and I love them 'to the maximum'/exceedingly.

168~~I have kept
"Your doctrine presented categorically"/ "Your precepts"
and "Your doctrinal techniques"/ "Your Testimonies".

For all my Ways are before You.

{Note: He is getting to the end of the march and knows he will survive.}

{Verses 169-176: Taw/Tau File - t The Signature Letter (like making your X)}
169a~~Tau.
Let my 'call for help under pressure' {rinnah}
come near before you, O Jehovah/God.

169b~~Cause me to learn by evaluating my experience {biyn}
according to Your Word/'Doctrinal Communication' {dabar}'.

170~~Let my 'using prayer as an indication of orientation to grace'
  {t@chinnah - Grace with a qal in front of it.}
come before You.

Cause me to be rescued
according to Your Word/'Doctrinal Communication' {dabar}'.

171~~My lips shall 'gush out'/utter praise,
when You have taught me
"Your doctrine in categories"/ "Your Statutes".

172~~My tongue shall speak
of Your Word/'Doctrinal Communication' {dabar}'.
  {he is dedicating his life to teaching bible doctrine}

For all "Your direction for my life"/ "Your Commandments"
are righteousness/perfection.

173~~Let Your hand help me. . .
  {from the previous verse we know this was help in accurately
  teaching doctrine}
for I have chosen
"Your doctrine presented categorically"/ "Your precepts".

174~~I have longed for Your deliverance/salvation, O Jehovah/God.

And Your law is my delight/'object of love'.

175a~~Keep/Guard my soul {nephesh}
refreshed/living {chayah - imperfect tense - 'keep on'},
and it shall praise You.

175b~~ And let Your 'proper judgment' {mishpat},
keep on helping/supporting {`azar} me.

176a~~I have gone astray like a lost sheep.
