Psalms
Chapter
34
1~~{Title}{An
Acrostic Psalm} of David
(when
he had changed his behavior before
Abimelech/'Abiymelek
{RBT says this is what David was thinking when,
in I Samuel 21:13 and following, he pretended madness
before Achish, the king/Abimelech of the Philistines.
This verse now adds that Achish ordered David driven from
the city like an animal.}
who
drove him away and he departed).
{'Aleph
File- the ox - means prosperity}
I
will adore/'love to the maximum' {barak}
Jehovah/God
at all times.
His
'praise from knowledge' {t@hillah - you can not sing praises if you
do not know first}
shall
continually be in my mouth.
{Note:
When barak is used towards man, it means to bless or prosper. Man
can not prosper God! When it is used toward God, it means to 'love to
the maximum' or adore Him or be occupied with Him in your soul.}
{Note:
Acrostic means each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is related to each
verse in the Psalm. RBT calls them the x file - as in 'Aleph file for
the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.}
{Beth
File}
2^~My
soul shall celebrate {halal}
in
Jehovah/God.
the
'grace oriented in their souls'/humble {`anav}
shall
'hear, listen, and obey'
{shama' - refers to the study, concentration on and application of
God's Mind - the Word}
thereof,
and rejoice/party {samach}.
{Note:
David is using a play on words here. Halal here is in the Hithpael
stem. That means to be very happy. In I Samuel 21:13 we had halal in
the Hithpoel stem - which means to be mad. And, many people who are
very, very happy appear to be mad! Haha but this is a play on words.}
{Note:
`anav is often translated 'humble' in the KJV. But, this is not a
phony type of thing. This word is used for a person who understands
that God is the issue. We are nothing when compared with him. He is
great. We are small. When you are oriented to the fact that God
provides everything, then you are 'anav. SideNote: The name 'Peter'
was given to Simon by Jesus and it means 'little chip'. The name
'Paul' taken by Saul of Tarsus means 'little'. Both LEARNED to be
'anav. Many people teach that the Lord must be first in your life.
This is true but incomplete. To be 'anav, the Lord is EVERYTHING in
your life. No, this does not mean to be stupid and neglect your life
- that is misusing doctrine. Instead, when you understand this
concept, you will be on your way to being 'anav. Until then, keep God
first - and take in doctrine today, tomorrow and every day.}
{Gimel
File- Camel - Denotes Extensive Knowledge of a Subject}
3~~O
'assign to greatness' {gadal} . . . with me . . . Jehovah/God, and
let us 'lift up'/'Build an Edification Complex of the Soul'/
Exalt
{ruwm} His Name together.
{Daleth
File - the Door - Refers to Entering the Plan of God or a Place of
Blessing or Cursing}
4~~
I {David} 'beat a path to {the door of the doctrine of}'
Jehovah/God, and He answered me,
and
delivered me from all my fears.
{He
File the Window - Refers to the Perspective of Life}
5~~They
were caused to look {with anticipation}
unto
Him {God} {positive volition},
and
shined/'were lightened'/'cheered up inwardly' {nahar}
{made it to SuperGrace through the study of the Word}.
And
their faces/presence 'were not ashamed'/'was no reproach'.
{Zayin
File - Nail or Peg - Something you can Hang things on - Doctrine is
something you can hang things on}
6~~This
wretched/reversionistic {`aniy} man cried/yelled out
{from the title we know this is David in Gad pretending madness in
his fear}
and
Jehovah/God heard him,
and
delivered him out of all his afflictions {of reversionism}.
{Note:
Here indicates the reversion recovery of David. Now the Lord hears
and brings him out of his reversionism and misery. So this takes
place between I Samuel 21 and I Samuel 22.}
{Heth
file}
{David
at His Lowest Ebb is Visited by Jesus Christ as the Angel of Jehovah}
7~~The
angel of Jehovah/God bivouacked
{God was his place of safety and rest - Jesus taught David doctrine
directly and brought him back to SuperGrace status}
around
those {David and others positive to God and His Word}
who
'respect authority of'/fear/'are in awe of' Him,
and
delivered them
{means the Lord delivered David and others also - not just David}.
{Note:
The Angel of the Lord is revealed to BE Jehovah in Genesis 16:7-13,
31:11-13 and many other passages. Yet He is also said to be distant
from Jehovah. This is because Jehovah is a title for God and there
are more than one member of the Godhead Who individually are called
Jehovah. The revealed/manifest member of the Godhead is always said
to be Jesus Christ - see John 1:18. SideNote: When Jesus Christ comes
incarnate, the angel of Jehovah is never mentioned again.}
{Teth
File - Roll Together - and stands for Relationship}
8~~O
taste {eat the Bread of Life - doctrine}
and
see that Jehovah/God . . . {is} good
{occupation with Christ after reversion recovery}.
Happinesses
{ 'esher - plural} . . .
{to}
the hero { geber - meaning a SuperGrace Believer}
who
'takes refuge {in doctrine}' { chacah } in Him.
{Note:
Chacah is the word to describe protection in the sense of an animal
running for protection in a crack in the rock of a mountain.}
{Yodh
File - hand}
9~~O
respect {the authority of}/fear Jehovah/God,
you
his 'hilarious ones'.
For
there is no want to them
who
respect {the authority of} Him.
{Kaph
File - means the Palm of the hand -
10~~The
'young lions'
{k@phiyr - referring to humanly strong men - those with great
human abilities}
do
lack and suffer hunger.
But
they who constantly seek Jehovah/God
{positive volition to God and His Word}
shall
never lack of any good {thing}.
{Lamedh
File - Ox Goad - (keeps the ox moving)}
11~~Come,
you children, {positive volition of the young}
'hear,
listen, concentrate and obey' {shama'} unto me.
I
will teach you
{via repetition - over and over and over to inculcation}
the
respect {for the authority} of Jehovah/God.
{Mem
File }
{Verses
12-13: Special blessing for avoiding the sins of the tongue}
12~~Who
is the man
who
'wants to enjoy lives'/'who desires lives'
{chay - in the plural - means capacity to enjoy all categories of
happiness in life - social, sexual, spiritual, material, business,
scholarship, on and on}
and
loves long life? {idiom - ' literally 'loves days'},
that
he may see good
{means to see good in the Lord and all He provides - you see good
when unusually good blessings come your way}?
{Nun
File}
13~~Keep/'stand
guard on'/'walk a post on'
your
tongue from evil
{an order! No sins of the tongue!},
and
your lips from 'speaking deceit'/slandering {dabar mirmah}.
{Samekh
File}
14~~Turn
from {cuwr} evil/reversionism {ra}',
and
manufacture {'asah - out of doctrine in your soul} good.
Search
for prosperity/peace {shalowm},
and
pursue it.
{'Ayin
File}
15~~The
eyes of Jehovah/God
are
upon the righteous/'SuperGrace Believer { tsaddiyq}
{anthropomorphism - He watches like a parent - to protect us},
and
His ears are open unto their cry
{a parent hearing the cry of their baby}.
{Pe
File}
16~~The
face of Jehovah/God is against them that do evil,
to
cause to cut off
the
remembrance of them
from
the earth
{people like Saul and Doeg - no one will remember them kindly}.
{Cadhe
File}
17~~I
cry and Jehovah/God hears!
and
delivers them out of all their troubles/'adversities of
reversionism'.
{Qoph
File}
18~~Jehovah/God
is near unto them
that
are of a heart/'right lobe'
shattered
in pieces {while in reversionism} {shabar}.
And
causes to be delivered
such
as be of a bruised spirit {dakka' ruwach}.
{Note:
This is a picture of the status of a reversionist. He has the
doctrine in his soul, but he can not access it while out of
fellowship - his spirit is damaged and his thinking broken up.}
{Res
File}
19~~Many
. . .
{are}
the afflictions/problems/adversities/'evil occurrences' {ra'}
of
the righteous.
But
Jehovah/God delivers {him out of them all}.
{Sin
File}
20~~He
keeps all his bones.
Not
one of them is broken.
{Note:
This is also a prophetic reference to the Lord Jesus Christ on the
Cross. Usually the victim of the crucification has his legs broken to
die faster. But, Jesus would not have his legs broken during the crucification.}
{Note:
This also means that David will be protected from this kind of
problem in battle. Most men in battle died after bones were broken.}
{Taw
File}
21~~Evil/reversionism
shall destroy the wicked/reversionist
{sin unto death}.
And
they {reversionists}
who
hate the righteous/'SuperGrace believer'
shall
be desolate/'in great agony' {'asham -self-induced misery}.
22~~Jehovah/God
redeems/'ransoms' the soul of His servants
{many come to David to be protected, but they stay to be saved!
Jesus Christ's work on the cross redeemed all believers from the
slave market of sin}.
And
none of them that 'takes refuge {in doctrine}' {chacah}
shall
be desolate/'in great agony' {'asham - self-induced misery}.
