Psalms

Chapter 14
{Nabal's Foolish Thoughts}
1~~To the Chief Musician
{a Psalm} of David.
 Nabal/'the fool' {name does mean 'fool'}
has said in his 'right lobe'/heart
  {thought this in his very soul - an atheist},
"There is not Elohiym/Godhead
  {negative volition at the point of God consciousness}."

They {Nabal and other wealthy, unbelieving reversionists}
have become 'perverted in their souls' {shachath - Hiphil stem}.
They 'have done(s) a detestable deed'
 {ta`ab - is a plural verb - but aliylah' is a singular noun. The
  singular noun means it refers to Nabal's debt to David that he
  refused to pay. But the verb is plural and this is good Hebrew to
  indicate that wealthy reversionists do the same all the time -
  they are wealthy and do not need to Renege on debts -
  but do it for fun!}.
there are none that manufactures {'asah}
good {towb - divine good - no divine good production}.

{Note: Nabal was the very rich husband of Abigail who, upon Nabal's death became one of David's wives. See Nabal in I Samuel 25:25 where Abigail talks about this 'fool' of a husband. Abigail was a SuperGrace believer married to a stupid unbeliever whose very name means fool. Now here we find out in what area particularly he was a fool - 'there is no God'!}

2~~Jehovah/God out of the heavens
 'looked down {for someone to bless}' {shaqaph}
upon the children of men,
to 'make a recognizance'/see {ra'ah}
if there were any
who had been caused to be wise {in SuperGrace status}
  {sakal - Hiphil stem - means GAPing to SuperGrace - intake of the
  Word},
and constantly kept on seeking after
  {darash - verb of positive volition - in salvation and thereafter in
  the intake of the Word}
Elohiym/Godhead {God located David and Abigail in view here}.

3~~They have deviated {from God's laws for Establishment}/
'become perverted'/'become reversionistic'.
  {cuwr - perfect tense - means from beginning of human history to
  the end, wealthy, unbelieving reversionism will be like this}.
They 'have become morally corrupt'
  {meaning 'have done detestable deeds'}
  {'alach - means filthy , here morally filthy - explains Nabal's
  drunken party in I Samuel 25:36 - his party was probably a Phallic
  cult event - with sexual degeneracy mixed in}.
There is not one who manufactures {divine} good,
no, not even one {'echad}.

4~~Have all the 'workers of emptiness'/reversionists
  {falling backward so human viewpoint is replacing divine viewpoint
  again}
do not understand/know {yada'}?
The ones destroying/devouring up my people . . .
as they have eaten bread
  {illustration of the easy with which they destroy the followers of
  David}.
Furthermore, they do not call upon Jehovah/God.

5^^There is great awe/'respect {for the authority of}
  {pachad pachad - doubling is very strong}
for Elohiym/Godhead
in the generation of the righteous/'SuperGrace believers' {tsaddiyq}.

{David Speaks to Nabal}
6~~You {Nabal} have caused shame
  {refused to pay his debt for fun of it}
to the plan/contract {David's agreement to protect Nabal's sheep}
with the afflicted
  {David - he was under Saul's seek and destroy persecution},
because Jehovah/God is his {David's} security.

{Note: Nabal was an atheist. He knew that David proclaimed himself under the protection of God. So, he reneged on his debt so he can say crap like - 'oh what a great protector David has'. He got his 'reward' for this in I Samuel 25:37-38 directly from God.}

7~~Who shall give from Zion {name of the fortification},
the deliverance of Israel?
  {the prophecy was that whoever captures the fortress of the
  Zebucites (sp) will be the deliverer of Israel - David is the one who
  eventually takes the fort and made it his castle}
When Jehovah/God restores {from}
the adversity of His people,
Jacob {used for Jews who are unbelievers}
shall celebrate/'dance in a circle' {giyl},
and Israel {used for saved Jews}
shall 'be joyful'/'express great inner happiness'/+H {samach}.
